The ALA: a joke that isn't funny

I've long suspected that the ALA was run by Larry, Curly and Moe, with an able assist from Groucho, Harpo and Chico, Sneezy and Grumpy may also be involved. Conservator reports:

ALA COUNCILOR JIM CASEY DOES US THE FAVOR of laying out the Rube Goldberg-esque explanation of how the Bush administration in Washington, D.C. bears responsibility for library budgetary woes in Salinas, California:

Federal tax cuts and the anti-tax push of this Administration have led to huge budget deficts not only at the Federal level, but in practically every State of the Union. State Budget deficits have led to crushing burdens being shifted down to the local level where local property taxpayers who support public libraries are being battered and prompted to revolt in such a manner that some public library systems are being threatened with closure.

So, it just follows logically that the reason ALA should not have honored Laura Bush is because she is married to the man who proposes the budget that is approved by the Congress that leads to huge budget deficits not only at the Federal level....

Are you sure the Jews had nothing to do with it?

BTW--when is the ALA going to interest itself in issues that concern librarians, such as lousy pay, berserk politicians, etc.?
