The WTF thread...

The FBI (with help from the Dept of Homeland Security) just nabbed a Colombian while he was in Panama and brought him to the United States because he's a suspect in Haiti.

Better angle

he got hit so hard his clothes came off like a cartoon.

He was going 120

For some reason, I'm reminded of the old Sunday Night football segment that got ax'd around when people started figuring out that concussions were, in fact, bad.

Maus is an outstanding book.  But a school board in Tennessee has banned it because of a drawing of a naked female (in a concentration camp mind you) and a handful of swear words over its 300 pages (the book's about the holocaust after all).  I can’t tell if this is Jesus-lovin’, ‘Merica-freedom dumbassery or anti-semitism (maybe both).  Regardless, I doubt any of these board members actually have read it.

Mays is such an outstanding book - I can’t believe this. A school board in Tennessee has banned it because of a drawing of a naked female (in a concentration camp mind you) and a handful of swear words over 300 pages (the books about the holocaust after all).  I can’t tell if this is Jesus-lovin’, ‘Merica freedom dumbassery or anti-semitism (maybe both).  Regardless, I highly doubt any of these board members actually have read the book.

I saw a district banned a book that turned into one of my favorite TV shows.. "Handmaid's Tale"

Interesting.  I assume you are at least as upset with the left and Big-Tech banning and censoring all things semi-conservative and common sensical.

I'm not looking at it as a left vs. right thing.  Maus is a fantastic book and account of the holocaust.  I don't think it would be labeled conservative or liberal.  Not all rednecks are conservative and many antisemites could be considered left wing.  So I guess there's those things.  But no, I don't read about this and immediately relate it to current political talking points.  It's just a shitty thing.  Isn't that good enough?

i dont think looking back that the side that was for banning books of any kind has been looked upon favorably.  the list of books i have seen if true is ridiculous.
