GWB Pres Liberry: Knowledge Just Rolled in its Grave

Lady Hit by Shovel In Stomach, Pile of Dirt Holding a Shovel, Sell-out, and Dick Cheney (cause that's enough of an insult, plus I could not think of a good grave digging joke)

Yep, he's got a library.  Just cause some morons could not figure out how to vote properly.  Some small made-up ideas about what this library is gonna be like:

1)  Total Children's section of his favorite coloring books.  Collection of already colored pages to be archived, as well as a special section where he stayed "in the lines."
2)  Complete vacation guide section to Texas.
3)  Basement to have insulated levee system to prevent flooding.
4)  Presidential Speak-and-Spell
5)  Complete presidential papers.  As well as bongs, pipes, flasks, and commemorative spring break cups.

Let me know if you hear of some made-up exhibits in the library.

Here's the real NY Times story.

Child's Play: My Favorite Charity

I am not going to say this is the best charity in the entire world.  What I am going to say is that Child's Play, created by the webcomic geniuses Penny Arcade, is a worthwhile use of your attention and money.  Listed as a chance for gamers to give back, the charity raises money and materials for children's hospitals around the world.  It is okay if you think video games are spawned from the devil's groin, everyone can donate.  Hell, if you do not trust the hellions over at Penny Arcade with your money, that is fine.  In conjunction with hospitals around the world, Penny Arcade has set up wish lists over at Amazon.com.  That way you can donate directly to the hospital if that is your bag.

As librarians, we give a lot, if not all, of our time helping.  If you feel that is enough charity, I will back you everyday of the week.  And if you already donate your money or time somewhere, bless you as you are better than I will ever be.  But if you feel like making a few kids happy, throw out some money for a book, DVD or video game to a kid's hospital.

Also, know that Child's Play is a nonprofit organization.  I have not received any money, nor will I receive any money for this posting from Child's Play charity.  I support this charity of my own free will and have not been taken over by said organization as a ploy to integrate myself into the library community.  As if galactic space monkey fruit fuckers were that smart.
