Somewhat old news, but news nonetheless, Laura Mallory is appealing a decision handed by the Gwinnett County school board in Georgia that Harry Potter can stay in their public schools. Says Mallory:

They’re not educationally suitable and have been shown to be harmful to some kids.”

Indeed. While not quoting her, the MSM sources reporting this say that she is convinced that Potter books lead to school shootings, pagan worship, and evil in general, and that these problems wouldn’t happen if schools had children read the bible instead.

What if you got her, and the guy who wanted to remove “under God” from the pledge of allegiance together in a room for a free for all, no holds barred, wacko extremist contest? Better yet, pit her against somebody else with weird fascio-theological tendancies, like Islamic insurgents or something?

I’ll bring the beer.

Who knew that strange islands with unique magnetic properties had subdivisions?

Its good to have Lost back on the air, even if a lot of the original appeal was in the discovery of the island and all the goofy crap on it.  Like that big smoke monster, that… oddly… hasn’t appeared since the first season.  Perhaps it was busted on a DUI.

I’ve purposefully tried to stay far away from fan theories, because I’m sure they’re all much better than what either I could come up with, or (unfortunately) probably what the writers come up with.  I’m partial to the thinking that all of the memories we see these folks have are plants (although I’m not so sure about that, seeing as how its becoming more and more apparent that the plane crash was as much a suprise to the Others as it was to the Losties).

This season looks to be strong.  15 or so starters, no Michelle Rodriguez (who just kinda gets on my nerves), a pissed off Hurley, and Jack being tortured.  Good stuff.
