A while back I discovered Twitter, just before the big boom with Ashton Whatshisname and Oprah.  I "follow" about 60 some people, some of which I am not ashamed to admit are considered "celebrities".  Mind you, my choices of who to follow though are based on the thought provoking "tweets" they post, as well as the genuine ability to make me laugh.

Among those celebrity Twitterers I follow is author Neil Gaiman.  When he posts a link, you can bet I will click it, because I feel that his links are never a waste of time.  This more recent one is no exception.

Unbelievable.  Book burning.  A lawsuit to demand the right to burn and ban a library book.  I thought those days were long gone.  If you don't like it DON'T READ IT!!  If you don't want your kids reading it then that's your business and up to you to enforce that (ha), but to deny others... GRRRRR!!!! 

Then, just as I was recovering from that, I heard about this on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me from this past weekend.

Oh My GOSH! HELLO!!>???????

There are no words to describe what I'm thinking right now.  Well, polite words that is.

Really, I just sat there dumbfounded when they were talking about it on Wait Wait, then of course I laughed at the "Heaven-O!" and their musings that workers might rebel by saying, "Heaven-O, how may I HELLp you?"

Seriously though, WTH?

Ok, gonna stop the rant now.  Feel free to chime in with your thoughts.

Oh, and if you to have a Twitter account, feel free to stop by and say Hello!  :-)
