Time magazine reports that as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin wanted to ban books from public libraries.
But which controversial titles did Governor Palin so desperately want to keep out of the hands of book-loving Alaskans? In an astounding worldwide exclusive, Catsandbeer.com has obtained the highly sought after list!
Sarah Palin’s Banned Books
Link up any I left off.

Are those actually books that Palin tried to ban? Or are those books taken from a general list of books that various people have tried to ban at different times and different places? I find it difficult to deal with the ALA on the subject, because they always seem to bring out the general list to illustrate specific attempts at book banning, even when it doesn’t make sense. (A book banner concerned with wanting “young earth creationist” books out of the school library is unlikely to care about YA novels that are controversial because they talk about teens discovering sex.)
This is hilarious .. great work. I’d digg if I could.
@Adrian .. ’tis comedy, I hope.
dugg & shouted, this is hysterical!
Anal Hershiser interview ASAP, please. Thank you.
@Adrian – Yes, that is the OFFICIAL leaked list!!!
@Ryan – I added little links to digg and social networkize to your heart’s content – and I’m pretty sure comment #1 is serious
The books listed are all of a theme, that theme being Sarah Palin herself. I find it unlikely that this would be the official list.
(Funny stuff, though! Sorry if I killed the funny.)
Ms. Sarah Palin also reportedly sought to ban the works of Mark Twain. The librarian couldn’t be reached for comment. Sounds like the work of the widow Douglas, or maybe even that of scoundrel Huck Finn. Now Ms. Douglas and Mr. Finn were known troublemakers. I’m certain the nefarious pair’s history of skullduggery and collusion was unworthy of Mr. Twain’s pen. (Don’t be fooled, Mr. Twain published before Ms. Palin’s tenure as governor, so it must be true.) Still and all, I’d like to hear the allegation from Ms. Mary Ellen the librarian firsthand. That is, if she hasn’t mysteriously disappeared. For my own self, I can’t say enough about Sarah Palin. I liken her detractors to skaters who go down hard. Anyway, here’s a clip from Jan & Dean. Bet you can’t watch just once: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....A&NR=1 And, how ‘bout them Dems: lost in space, or true tales from the Office of the Pork-master General: http://theseedsof9-11.com
This list is bogus. “Meth: America’s Home-Cooked Menace,” for instance, wasn’t published until 2005.
I find this amazing…if it’s true !
Excellently done! Unlike Tim, I get it.
