Another day, another steaming heap of some punk-ass shit.
Dr. Carla D. Hayden — the first woman and first African-American to head the Library of Congress — got the ol’ heave-ho yesterday in a curt, two-sentence email from Trent Morse, deputy director of White House personnel (see above).
New Mexico Sen. Martin Heinrich, the top Democrat on the Appropriations Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch, hit the high points of the doctor’s curriculum vitae for us and had a few thoughts of his own on her unceremonious dismissal:
“President Trump fired our nation’s Librarian, Dr. Carla Hayden, by email at 6:56pm tonight, taking his assault on America’s libraries to a new level.
“Over the course of her tenure, Dr. Hayden brought the Library of Congress to the people, with initiatives that reached into rural communities and made the Library accessible to all Americans, in person and online.
“While President Trump wants to ban books and tell Americans what to read – or not to read at all, Dr. Hayden has devoted her career to making reading and the pursuit of knowledge available to everyone.
“Be like Dr. Hayden.”
I can’t wait for the day when we get to give the shove to these chickenshit vandals. Two sentences? Try two words: “Fuck off.”
In the meantime, I suppose we can look forward to seeing Enrique Tarrio sworn in as Dr. Hayden’s replacement. The recently pardoned seditionist needs a job of work, and who knows? He may have checked out a few “Punisher” comic books from the prison library when he wasn’t busy finking for the John Laws.

One wonders whether any of the clown posse regularly use their local public library. From a very limited sampling in NH the most vocal are the least likely to use a library and have a card.
Man, I have loved me some libraries. I think I had my first library card on Randolph AFB, so … age 8? Could’ve had one in Canada, but most of that section of my hard drive is inaccessible due to wear and tear on the mechanism. I erased that shit but good between about 1969 and 1983.
Used the libraries in Bibleburg alla damn time, both public and school. Michener Library at UNC. When we moved here and couldn’t get the Innertubes installed straight away I camped out at a couple different public libraries to do The Work.
Now, in the Reign of the Know-Nothings, libraries are a source of infection. The Thinking Virus. Kills the Dumbass dead. Can’t have that.
JFC…..
The congress needs to send the asshole in chief an email just like the one Dr. Hayden received. It requires a more formal format called Articles of Impeachment. Reason? How about interfering with and impounding congressionally appropriated funding? There are many other reasons, some felonies. The list is too long to repeat here.
The Congress needs to grow itself a rudimentary pair first. Hate to hang by mine waiting on that.
The real fun will start once Beelzebozo chokes on a Big Mac and goes to meet his Master down below. Every geek on the red side of the aisle will be trying to fill those tiny little clown shoes of his, even if they have to lop off a few toes to git ’er done.
Just look at our local library boards. They are full of people just like The Head Dumpster and his ilk. Banning books and the wrong class of people. We need to start locally and let the cream rise to the top. Ron White said it best: “You can’t fix stupid.” The scary part is hanging on long enough to get rid of the morons, assholes and idjits. Pray to whatever ghost, goblin, spook, or deity you think is out there for strength and courage to outlast this round of insanity. Or as in the Berlin crisis, they told us to get under our desks but neglected to tell us to kiss our asses goodbye.
Meanwhile, a former president and CEO of Waste Management Inc. is getting set to take over the U.S. Postal Service. The jokes write themselves.
And another good one left for the other side.
“Like” is hardly the appropriate reaction to this post, but it’s an imperfect world…
But JFC on a pogo stick, the outrages just keep on coming from this shitshow!
Happy Mother’s Day, all!
