From one cowboy to the other-Freedom

“What a triumph for former president George W. Bush!” Right Wing News proclaimed.

One man… held a sign that read “Thank You George Bush.”

From the LA Times:

Jubilation is everywhere, but in Christian churches, liberation from the mostly Muslim Arab north…

Like many in South Sudan, [Literature prof. and writer Tabon li] Liyong credited the United States, and President George W. Bush in particular, with pushing north and south toward the 2005 peace agreement that ended generations of civil war and paved the way for partition. But his concerns now have turned to future aid.

“It was George Bush and the Christian fundamentalists who heard the cry of South Sudan,” he said.

Banning Books?

From Rebel Pundit:

The authors of the books we offered to ban were Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Andrew Breitbart, Ayn Rand, Michael Savage, Bill Clinton, Michael Moore, Karl Marx, Adolf Hitler and Barack Obama. While there were in fact less than two handfuls of individuals who did tell us they don’t think any books should be banned, unfortunately there were a shocking amount of guests at this book fair who were quite open to the idea, and in fact lined up quite excited for the opportunity to voice their opinion.

Participants overwhelming chose Sarah Palin who received 53 votes putting her at 36% overall, Glenn Beck at 23% and Ann Coulter at 22%. All of the other choices received a very minimal amount of votes, with the next most popular to ban being Adolf Hitler at 0.5%. Ironically, Michael Savage, who has been banned from entering Britain over things he often says, did not receive one vote to have his words banned in Chicago.
