RE: ABOUT SARAH PALIN

Yeah, I got this in my email as well. Fell asleep and nearly knocked my coffee over onto my labtop when I came to.

I have a degree in history, we learned who to fill a book w/o saying a darn thing. This is just a compact version of the same concept.

No body really cares how good a neighbor the president or VP is or was. I would like to know what they read and know, and how they apply that to their job!

A fawn followed this beagle home -- right through the doggie door --
in the Bittinger, MD area. The owner came home to find the visitor
had made himself right at home. This hit the 6 o'clock news big time.
Sure beat out the McCain/Obama political news for a change.

RE: Judging someone

Yes I have, but try not to voice my judgements to often. I generally take my snap judgements and compare them to other times I have made similar judgements. I then back track and re-evaluate.

Though some of my judgements are boiled down to a generalization. Like, can work w/ this person - can not work w/ this one. Those are usually right.

Highschool reunion coming up

GOOD NIGHT ALL!

I probably wont go. My mom said that it's not worth it until the 20th or 30th anyway. She's probably right. Thanks

RE: Remember Disco Dancing?? Not Like This Ya Don't...!!

Cute

Highschool reunion coming up

Yeah, well I had gone to grad. In fact, I was in band and choir, so I had been to three grad, cause we ahd to play in them all. As well as the College grad. (which is near by).

What bugs me, is that I really don't or didn't like some of the people I grad. w/ and those that were my friends have never really kept in contact w/ me.

Some that I have grown to respect and love are those younger then me. Maybe because they are more mature.

Highschool reunion coming up

Mine is apparently approaching @ full spead (Damn ) and I live in my home town, so really don't care to see them couse I see most of them 50% of the time any way. Why spend money to go do stuff w/ people I really never hung out with or kept in contact with?

What's the consensus? What have ya'll done?

I just wanted to point this out. I know some people were angery about the possibility of this being a spoof and all, but it seems to be very much try. The only thing that appears to be false about my prior post is that some of the books were not even published at the time that Palin was in office. Maybe the author figured she'd have banned them, or was looking for more support. But there was still an attempt to ban or remove books from the public Library.

In connection w/ an earlier post, About Sarah Palin and Book Banning

Emmons survived the loyalty test and a second one a few months later. She resigned in August 1999, two months before Palin was voted in for a second mayoral term.

Palin might have become a household name in the last week, but Kilkenny, who is not a Palin fan, is on her own small path to Internet fame. She sent out an e-mail earlier this week to friends and family answering, from her perspective, the question Outsiders are asking any Alaskan they know: "Who is this Sarah Palin?"

Kilkenny's e-mail got bounced through cyberspace and ended up on news blogs. Now the small-town mom and housewife is scheduling interviews with national news media and got her name on the front page of The New York Times, even if it was misspelled.

Palin pressured Wasilla librarian
She wanted to know if books would be pulled.

WASILLA -- Back in 1996, when she first became mayor, Sarah Palin asked the city librarian if she would be all right with censoring library books should she be asked to do so.

According to news coverage at the time, the librarian said she would definitely not be all right with it. A few months later, the librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, got a letter from Palin telling her she was going to be fired. The censorship issue was not mentioned as a reason for the firing. The letter just said the new mayor felt Emmons didn't fully support her and had to go.

Emmons had been city librarian for seven years and was well liked. After a wave of public support for her, Palin relented and let Emmons keep her job.

It all happened 12 years ago and the controversy long ago disappeared into musty files. Until this week. Under intense national scrutiny, the issue has returned to dog her. It has been mentioned in news stories in Time Magazine and The New York Times and is spreading like a virus through the blogosphere.

The stories are all suggestive, but facts are hard to come by. Did Palin actually ban books at the Wasilla Public Library?

In December 1996, Emmons told her hometown newspaper, the Frontiersman, that Palin three times asked her -- starting before she was sworn in -- about possibly removing objectionable books from the library if the need arose.

Emmons told the Frontiersman she flatly refused to consider any kind of censorship. Emmons, now Mary Ellen Baker, is on vacation from her current job in Fairbanks and did not return e-mail or telephone messages left for her Wednesday.

When the matter came up for the second time in October 1996, during a City Council meeting, Anne Kilkenny, a Wasilla housewife who often attends council meetings, was there.

Like many Alaskans, Kilkenny calls the governor by her first name.

"Sarah said to Mary Ellen, 'What would your response be if I asked you to remove some books from the collection?" Kilkenny said.

"I was shocked. Mary Ellen sat up straight and said something along the line of, 'The books in the Wasilla Library collection were selected on the basis of national selection criteria for libraries of this size, and I would absolutely resist all efforts to ban books.'"

Palin didn't mention specific books at that meeting, Kilkenny said.

Palin herself, questioned at the time, called her inquiries rhetorical and simply part of a policy discussion with a department head "about understanding and following administration agendas," according to the Frontiersman article.

Were any books censored banned? June Pinell-Stephens, chairwoman of the Alaska Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Committee since 1984, checked her files Wednesday and came up empty-handed.

Pinell-Stephens also had no record of any phone conversations with Emmons about the issue back then. Emmons was president of the Alaska Library Association at the time.Books may not have been pulled from library shelves, but there were other repercussions for Emmons.

Four days before the exchange at the City Council, Emmons got a letter from Palin asking for her resignation. Similar letters went to police chief Irl Stambaugh, public works director Jack Felton and finance director Duane Dvorak. John Cooper, a fifth director, resigned after Palin eliminated his job overseeing the city museum.

Palin told the Daily News back then the letters were just a test of loyalty as she took on the mayor's job, which she'd won from three-term mayor John Stein in a hard-fought election. Stein had hired many of the department heads. Both Emmons and Stambaugh had publicly supported him against Palin.

Funny thing, I posted an ordeal I was going through last night and this is very much what my "friendship" was like. She often assumed the position of the victim, which gets old ofter a while. And was rather agrivation. as a matter of fact i signed on today to try and forget about it, but alas here I am.
