10:26am: Things I Saw Today…
Iowa city has stopped an old-fashioned book burning, pointing out that there’s a burn-ban going on within the city and that it’s illegal to transport materials across city lines specifically to burn them– air quality controls are in force.

A city fire inspector suggested shredding the offending CD’s, videos, books, and clothing, but the Reverend Scott Breedlove said “that didn’t seem biblical.”

Yeah.
