I thought it had something to do with loving the color pink a ton. And cebula was celiberal in a different language. That was my best guess. Then today out of nowhere BAM!

I just emailed my husband to see if he can get some info about that, and see how the other big publishing houses compare. He always seems to have access to that kind of thing.WendyCinNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548500219172368038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817248340630521543.post-38527983113059597532008-11-25T07:55:00.000-08:002008-11-25T07:55:00.000-08:00That was also news for me.

Though, it does look like the directive was to stop aquiring technical manuscripts, unless I read it wrong. Either way, I think it's something where they went too far.<BR/><BR/>I saw that stupid Palin video also and I too thought for a minute of becoming vegan, but it passed once I thought of Thursday. I look at all of this as a dark part of life as a meat eater.
