WHAT'S UP DOWN SOUTH?

Well, not much, things are so-so, that is, same-old same-old. It's still hot, humid, and of course, oppressive.

That's the latest political rhetoric to which I'm referring by the way.

The latest non-issue of concern to the small-time Southern politicos is the non-existent "Homosexual Agenda."

Of course this is nothing new since Southern politicians of the Conservative type address only 3 venerable issues when seeking office, God, guns, and Gays.

As long as the cock fights, and dog fights go on, as long as Evolution isn't taught in the schools, as long as NASCAR runs, and the beer flows, as long as the words God and Jesus are part of most Country & Western music lyrics, even though it's usually just some loser praising God for providing him with a loose, easy woman, everything is OK in the Bible Belt.

But Alabama State Representative Gerald Allen is keeping his legs close together due to his huge concerns over books.

His recent bill, which died due to a lack of a quorum, called for the banning, in public school libraries, of all literature written by, or referencing gays.

Allen, who denies attempting censorship, stated:

"I don't look at it as censorship. I look at it as protecting the hearts and souls and minds of our children."

Does that mean that he sees himself as a kind of Savior?

Here are more details on "CBSNews.com."
