Blissed out when I shouldn't be..

Oh. My. God.

One of my favorite publications ever, the Onion, just published a blog post about a controversy regarding book banning in Missouri. The author, Noel Murray, makes some eloquent statements about the role of libraries in the community which reads just like anything you'd find in a journal from the library world. Because he's normally writes about pop culture, and has no obvious connection to the library world, this post is stunning to me. He really nails all the stuff librarians like to say about themselves, but is rarely heard from outside our insular library world. We need more of these voices!

Too bad we only elicit such praise when such censorship occurs.
