Slog - Comments on Big Bad Librarians Shush Bush! http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/big_bad_librarians_shush_bush Consider for a moment librarians. Nerdy, bespectacled hoteliers of the homeless? Demure, persnickety, compulsive shushers? Hell yes! But as of this moment, librarians are also Extra Super Ninja Freedom Fighting Guerilla Shushers, out there kicking ass for the future of democracy (as per the ALA mission statement)! At this very moment, the brave Library Association of America (which is holding its Midwinter conference in Seattle as we speak) is mobilizing its library-ish forces to put The Ultimate Shush on G.W. Bush! Something called “The ALA’s Social Responsibilities Round Table Action Council” (an elected board in charge of policy making for...

No one does more to spread democracy and knowledge throughout the world than librarians.
Maybe we should elect just people who have been librarians for 10 or more years to represent us. Who knows us better.

It was a meet-n-greet connected with some huge librarian conference going on in town this past weekend, and Josh Feit, who was with me and who has a mile-wide soft spot for Nancy Drew/librarian-type "duck girls," was in heaven.

If anyone has any good tales of flirting with, drinking with, or--gasp!--even bedding one of the lusty librarians that gathered in Seattle this weekend, please share...

They are the heroines who refused to cooperate on releasing patrons' book selections and library online activities. They tossed FBI agents off their premises.

You are right, I, too, have had my fantasies about those bespectacled females shushing around the stacks. What is the special something some of them have, brains? Or is because they horded National Geographics and
Lady Chatterly's Lover?

In 2002, HarperCollins was balking on the publication of Michael Moore's Stupid White Men without substantial revision. A group of librarians began a letter writing campaign that ultimately pushed HarperCollins to release the book in its entirety. Here's Moore talking about librarians:

MICHAEL MOORE: They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them. You know, they've had their budgets cut. They're paid nothing. Books are falling apart. The libraries are just like the ass end of everything, right?

It's truly heroic to stand against suppression of free thought when it's your own side doing the suppressing. (Actually, maybe we should still hug librarians, just not in their collective form?)

I'm scanning the ads.... But we digress..... the Impeachment of GWB .. librarians make up just a microcosm of the vast majority of Americans who do think Bush has broken laws and subverted the constitution... over at the SeattleTimes on the Postman blog, all the haters are coming out against librarians - it's a sad a scary display.
