These people have got to be kidding. Right? This is some sort of joke? Someone actually took the time and money to find this out?

I will say that I'm proud to see Carson, Dewey, and the Kinsey Report all here. They're in good company with Friedan and Marx. I'm thinking of taking the whole thing over as my "Favorite Books" list.

Also, how funny is it that the article contains links to Amazon.com? Just in case the conservative readers want their own copies of these evil, evil works.

Would have thought they'd have put up Super N's Genealogy of Morals instead of Beyond Good and Evil. Though the "The Nazis loved Freddie (sorry, can't spell)" comment is amusing enough.
