TEXAS JUDGE MAKES A LEGAL STINKER, BANS BOOKS ON FARTS AND BUTTS IN LOCAL LIBRARY
Everything is bigger in the Lone Star state of Texas. And that definitely includes embarrassing court rulings that ban books in a library. And yes, we’re talking about a court making the screwy decision to ban books, which is bad enough. But to go to the trouble to ban books about Butts and Farts? Because some angry folks decided these books were a bad thing. So did they go to the library to complain? Nah. They went to court! And because it’s rural Texas, they found a prurient judge who totally agreed: let’s ban those books that talk about butts and farts! And now, it’s a legal mess. The judge’s ruling not only backfired, it’s legally noxious.

LIBRARY WINS OBVIOUS APPEAL, BUT THE APPEAL IS THEN APPEALED, MAKING A LEGAL SPLATTER
Unfortunately, there’s no candle trick in the bathroom to fix the legal farts that came out of the extra-judicious butts in Texas. Because when the judge ordered the library to remove the books, it did. But then it appealed the ridiculous ruling, of course, and won. But butts and farts are nothing to be trifled with, because the library’s appeal was then appealed. And that’s where the mess gets sloppy like an old children’s diarrhea rhyme. You know, like, “When the judge bangs his gavel and the toilet paper travels, diarrhea!” I just want to be sure to associate Judge Ron Cunningham’s name with a childish limerick over a book ban on butts and farts in the Llano County Library.

THEN THE JUDGE BANNED ALL BOOKS ON MAGA’S CHRISTIAN SOCIAL HIT LIST, TOO
But then there’s also the Llano County Commissioner Jerry Moss, who told the library director to comply with the judge’s initial order (which was unlawful, btw). He seemed to think that fighting the judge’s order would cause “bad publicity.” And then, after the ban on butts and farts in books, another concerned citizen then grabbed a list of books that contain “pornographic filth,” according to former Texas state rep Matt Krause, and got the same Judge Cunningham to order the library to remove all books that “depict any type of sexual activity or questionable nudity.” And that order then applied to all LGBTQ+ content. Oh, and two books about racism in the US.
So pay attention folks. First they come for your butts and farts. Then they come for everything else. Can’t imagine why Texas currently has the lowest quality of life in the US these days. We’ll see what the 5th Circuit does with this mess, and what kind of precedent it may create.
