Excerpt from News Observer article titled "As mayor, Palin brought culture wars to town" http://www.newsobserver.com/politics/story/1204252.html :

<Palin's first months in office here were so jarring -- and so alienating -- that an effort was made to force a recall. About 100 people attended a meeting to discuss the effort, which was covered in the local press, but the idea was dropped.

Shortly after becoming mayor, former city officials and Wasilla residents said, Palin approached the town librarian about the possibility of banning some books, though she never followed through and it was unclear which books or passages were in question.

Ann Kilkenny, a Democrat who said she attended every City Council meeting in Palin's first year in office, said Palin brought up the idea of banning some books at a council meeting. "They were somehow morally or socially objectionable to her," Kilkenny said.>

3. I noted they are still dragging that baby (always dressed in the brown gunny
sack outfit, shoe less it looks...)to all her activities. That is just loathsome and those girls always look miserable too.
