Sensible advice from Reason

Smart, succinct advice to the Tories from America’s Reason magazine. Some of the commentary about UK politics from across the Big Pond misunderstand UK affairs, but this article is refreshingly blunt, and spot on.

Urine Nation

June 06th, 2005 | Category: Stuff

WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. military officials say no guard at the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror suspects flushed a detainee’s Quran down the toilet, but they disclosed that a Muslim holy book was splashed with urine.

Continuing the episstolary theme:

Librarians in the US have had to admit they are baffled by the case of the urine-stained library books.

Hundreds of books at two libraries, just 13 miles apart in Cleveland, have had to be thrown out.

Linda Yanko, manager of Geauga West Library, told the Plain Dealer: “I can’t even believe we’re discussing something like this. It’s appalling and disgusting.”

She said librarians had been finding new cases or urine-related vandalism about once a month with the recent case coming just this week.

Get with the times, ladies. They’re called p-Books.
