Tonight is the state-of-the-state address by Governor Jim Hodges of 
South Carolina, where I live.  If you recall, SC was the site of one 
of the "Harry is evil and must not be read in our schools" protests 
shortly after PoA was released, resulting in the response of "It's up 
to the individual school district to decide what to do with Harry, 
but we are not going to remove it from the school libraries" from the 
state board of education.  Where am I going with this, you wonder?  
Well, tonight Governor Hodges uttered this phrase regarding a reading 
program in his speech: "...is bringing the magic of Harry Potter to 
our children..." Harry was the ONLY book that he mentioned in regards 
to this reading program.  I was thrilled beyond belief that the 
Governor of the state which had such an unfounded kefuffle over Harry 
in the classrooms mentioned it in an enlightened and positive way.  
Perhaps he, too, is a fan of the cannon.  

Trina, who is glad to know that it was e-groups that had the problems 
and it was not Penny who posted multiple messages about clotted cream!
