They're Going To Burn The Other One

Mississippi libraries reduced their book collection by half when they decided to ban Jon Stewart's (Comedy Central's The Daily Show) book because of its satirical nude depictions of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices.

"We're not an adult bookstore," said Robert Willits, director of the Jackson-George Regional Library System of eight libraries in Jackson and George counties. "Our entire collection is open to the public."

He added, "Besides, I know adult bookstores, adult bookstores have become very good friends of mine, and these are no adult bookstores."

The fate of the Mississippi library system hangs in the balance because the remaining book in their collection, which actually is a Highlights magazine, has been checked out for the last four years and has not yet been returned. According to records, a G.W. Bush in Washington has yet to learn how to read it.
