Let's dump them in a big hole

The libraries in two Mississippi counties have decided to take stern, decisive action to safeguard the deteriorating moral fabric of American society. How? By banning a political humor book from the shelves, of course.

That's right: If you want to read Jon Stewart's best-seller America (The Book), you'll have to go somewhere other than George and Jackson counties in our state's western neighbor. Because that book's just filthy. I mean, it's got naked Supreme Court justices in it, and first of all, it ain't none too fittin' to want to make fun of them anyhow, and besides, it might give the little ones the wrong idea about the law! Won't someone please think of the children?!?

But hey, look on the bright side: At least we've finally found a safe place to bury all of the books that Gerald Allen wants to ban.
