Book banned and browsing

CNN is at it again. They are breaking a story about two Mississippi libraries banning John Stewart's book, America (The Book). What they failed to bring out in the headlines of this smear is that Wal-Mart banned it a while ago. It is a humor book and has some nudity in it and the libraries policies are to open all volumes to the public. This is stupid to make such a fuss over an irreverent dude like Stewart. Just don't read it. I won't. And by the way, CNN please keep finding all the horrible things about Mississippi. Maybe it'll help some liberal demon to stay out of our state. We're doing just fine and certainly don't need the Turner/Fonda bunch meddling in our affairs.

If you still use Microsoft's Internet Explorer as your browser please read this article about the three security holes. There is even a link to a test that can determine if you have problems. Can someone tell me why these problems keep showing up almost on a daily basis? It worries me because the AOHell/Netscape people will find a way to sell us "opensource" Firefox and Mozilla. I think Netscape continues to exist just to do that! Sour grapes even after winning the lawsuit.
