Maggie Brings the TASK FORCE in…
Delta Two, Delta Two… This is Charlie Minor… We’re gonna need a task force on the double… got 17 year old thats just requested to look at naked chicks on the computer…
And thus Maggie made her move…
A joint task force was appointed today to study Internet policies at the Central library in Rochester.
A meeting of the Monroe County Library Systems Board and Rochester Public Library board approved a resolution to study the issue over the next 60 days and report back with any recommended changes.

Last week, Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks threatened to yank about $6.6 million in aid to the downtown library after it was revealed that the library’s policy lets adult patrons, upon request, view blocked Web sites that could be inappropriate or pornographic.
Wait, wait, wait… hold up! Last week she threatened to yank $7.5 Million out of the libraries? Is this $900,000 going to fund her “joint task force” or something?
Great job Maggie… Your rhetoric of diminishing returns is most astounding… If you want to save time and money, just read this and you’ll see that trying to censor computer access is not just stupid, it’s also pointless. Your library reform is like… hmm, what’s the expression… ah yes…
I’m sure you’ll catch it eventually.
Great post. Do you think they’ll let her lead up the hunt for Osama now? She seems like the logical choice.
Cue the “Pink Panther” theme.
If you have a chance check out Mark Hare’s Column. Excellent and really puts the issues into perspective.

Well worth the read
Yeah, that is a good read… Basically the same thing we’ve been saying right along… At this point, I think the conservatives simply pretend to not understand that you can’t just stop porn with, as Mr. Hare says “an on/off switch.”
This is a Rightwing Base Building issue… nothing more, nothing less… They’re trying to turn it into a “Either you’re with us, or you’re against us” issue… You’re either for children looking at porn, or you’re against it. Pathetic, Maggie’s desperate if that’s all she’s got.
