At BUZZSCOPE, Tania del Rio gives her take on the Victorville library controversy. See the comments thread for an excellent example of people who can disgree without getting out the flamethrowers. More dancing bunnies, please!

By the way, what is San Bernardino County Supervisor Bill Postmus doing besides making the library safe for children? Well, he’s running for county assessor, and he’s just been to court:

At a morning hearing, San Bernardino Superior Court Judge Christopher J. Warner refused to issue an injunction against the Postmus campaign logo, which incumbent assessor Don Williamson says amounts to false advertising.

The logo – which has Postmus’ name above an American flag and the words county assessor – gives the false impression that Postmus already holds the job, Williamson’s attorney Brian Cullen told the court.

But, you know, banning that logo would be censorship, and Bill Postmus doesn’t believe in censorship (except when it suits his purposes). Heh.
