Cambridge trashes Minuteman







Leave it to Cambridge and its sister libraries to accomplish what the Brits couldn't: wipe out the Minuteman. That's what the Minuteman library network did with its new card design. (Guess which one is the new card!). I suppose the political correctniks felt a picture of a patriot with a gun would offend the tender sensibilities of lefty milquetoasts. So the bad Minuteman with the gun had to go - and be replaced with a soporific bland layout, inscribed with a grocery list of goody-goody banalities, guaranteed to offend nobody and to inspire no one.
Heck if Clowncillor Galluccio was around back then, the Minutemen couldn't even have fired BB guns. Might put their eyes out!
