Great Denials of our Time, # 47543

The US State Department would like you to know:

Reverend George Bush did write a book titled Life of Mohammed in 1830. Reverend Bush was NOT the grandfather or a direct ancestor of the current president.

Word searches find no instances of the words "insect, insects, rat, rats, or snake," although in one section Reverend Bush does compare Muslims to locusts...

So, Ping has been clearing out. We now have a big pile of books and CDs to be got rid of, and most of them are in Chinese. The general desirability level is not high, at least if the English parts are anything to go by (Ace of Base? Roxette?). Your advice is sought. This would be a poll, if I knew how to do polls (they may be a paid-member-only feature, I suppose).

Anyhow, tell us what to do. We should:

1. bin the lot
2. give the English-language stuff to Oxfam and bin the rest
3. give it all to Oxfam and let them deal with it

Ping was going for 1; I've got us as far as 2. Anyone who can authoritatively push us to 3, please do. Alternatively, if you yourself want a carrier-bag full, just say the word...
