ACLU Steps Up Into Washington Porn Battle, Stirs Nest

The ACLU has sued Wenatchee libraries in Washington state to stop filtering porn on their computers.  This comes after last weeks controversy of a Seattle mother being all waaa waaa over a dude looking at porn in front of her kid while librarians stood back and did nothing but their jobs.  The ACLU has claims that it is unfair that Seattle porn lovers get their freak on in the library rather than the Wenatchee porn lovers, other than, you know, actual issues that matter in terms in civil rights that are going on in this country like internet piracy laws.

Seattle Library Allows Man to Be Glowered to Death

So the debate continues as another library allows a man to watch porn while others look on and glower.  Despite complaints, the library upheld the man's constitutional right to information and be creepy, even though other people did not want the man to be creepy.  When asked, the man said, "Hey, if porn were bad they wouldn't put it on the Internet, right?"  The library denied to comment through psychic connection.

Seattle Can Stop Feeling Special, We All Gotz Amazon

I feel like it was just yesterday I reported that Seattle and the King County library system were taking Amazon for a test drive.  Now everybody has it.  Well, when I say we all have Amazon, I do not mean every library has access to Amazon ebooks, just the 11,000 or so that deal with Overdrive for their books.  Read more in Amazon's press release.

Can you smell that?  Like a summer breeze, I tell ya.  Fresh off the ocean of dreams and kissed with a rainbow.  Welcome to the future, people of Earth, because Amazon became a time machine.
