to hear who they are: Senators Susan Collins (R) Maine and Patty Murray (D) Washington. How strange it was to learn they both contributed to one of the books which the library tossed! Good grief.

It's good to see the video as you get a better view of how many books were actually destroyed. The early stories on the purging only showed one still photo repeatedly. This video is appalling for anyone who has ever learned to read!

Thanks for the post, Yo Mama Been Loggin.

That would just seem a little more on-brand. Know what I mean?
