Well, someone was sure celebrating Banned Books Week. We got several emails over the weekend with the subject line, "Horny BBW Sluts!"

While attending the Illinois Library Association conference at Navy Pier this week, we noticed a few pieces of librarian art on the Pier:

Statue of woman and child looking at a picture book We believe this one was called: "(You're at the Library Cuz) Mom Don't Love You."

Statue of a woman knitting."Librarian in a Conference Session."

Stained glass window of a woman standing next to an open book.A beautiful stained glass window: "One Moment, I'll Look That Up."

Halfway through this year's Banned Books Week, we wonder: Why the hell not ban a few books?

"(You're at the Library Cuz) Mom Don't Love You" is the anAACRonisms' more radio-friendly follow-up to their last song. New in BibDitties.

If mom does love you, she puts hot sauce on your tongue. At least that's what former "Facts of Life Actress" Lisa Whelchel apparently says in her book about punish-..., er, disciplining children. According to the article, "Whelchel says she practiced hot saucing from the time her children were in pre-school through their 10th birthdays. Her children are now 12, 13, and 14 years old." And they really hate Mexican and Thai food. (Okay, we made up that last part.) Well, you know what they say: you take the good, you take the bad ...

Triple Book Review -- Funny commentary on three old kids books (dinosaurs, Full House activities, and Grover).
