From the current "issue" of Time Magazine online:


"At some point in those the fractious first days, Palin told the
department heads they needed her permission to talk to reporters.
"She put a gag order on those people, something that you'd expect to
find in the big city, not here," says Naegle. "She flew in there like
a big city gal, which she's not. It was a strange time, and [the
Frontiersman] came out very harshly against her."

"Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious
beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she
could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought
they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast."
The librarian, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but
news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire her
for not giving "full support" to the mayor."

Book banning, post banning, it's all the same to SW Tom...


Think of it as an editorial decision. That should make your feel better.
