Maggie, Porn & the ACLU

I realize that is not a very impressive header, but I am just so happy that I can use those words together.

As we posted yesterday, Brooks decided to take on libraries, the sex trade, perverts, the Supreme Court and free speech all at the time. That would a big bite to chew for most people.

Today, the ACLU decided to hop on. From the D&C:

Scott Forsyth, local counsel for ACLU, said today that Brooks shouldn't try to arbitrate what information the public at the library should be able to see.

No one wants the children of our community to walk into the library and be exposed to a (insert witty perv joke here) playing with his (insert innuendo-laden computer peripheral here). Is that happening? No. I did not even realize so many people used the downtown library. And $7.5 million in taxpayer money, I should have access to more than porn for that price tag.

Take a note from the Mayor on this one, Maggie; sit back, keep your mouth shut and work out a compromise with the parties involved. What's that? Oh, it's an election year . . .
