Library Commies

I've written earlier about the Friends of the Minneapolis Public Library's new advertising campaign, featuring Mao Zedong as an great example of how libraries can favorably impact society. The reasoning was that Mao, having worked as a librarian at one time, discovered Communism in the process, and we all know how wonderfully that idea has turned out.

I withheld judgment on Lileks' observations because I could find no corroboration. Well, now Lileks has the proof.

Absolutely appalling and inexcusable.
