I suggest that they should ban The Paper Bag Princess. After all, it presents an inaccurate view of dragons.

Seriously, banning a kids’ book?

You know what they say in Florida: The farther south you go, the farther north you get….

Florida just can’t seem to decide on an identity, can it?

It votes Gore – Bush – Obama …

Tries to pass an academic freedumb bill – then shoots it down …

Identifies Titanboa and bans books.

We need more northerners. Come on guys … you know you want to. 😉
