But wait a minute, didn't I read a few weeks back that Simon & Shuster claimed Hillary's book was in the black? It seems to me that right at the end of the first week after the release there were stories in all of the papers that S&S was gloating that the naysayers were wrong and that they had already recouped there money and were turning a profit. As a matter of fact they were rushing another 500,000 copies to print due to the overwhelming demand.

Was I dreaming or does anyone else remember this?

LOL - yeah, it was "in the black" from the moment it was printed, depending on how they're counting.

So we're hiring an accountant, see, and the boss asks the first guy "how much is 2 plus 2?" He says, "4," and the boss says "don't call us, we'll call you." The boss asks the next guy, "how much is 2 plus 2?" "Four," the guy says, and the boss says "there's the door." The third guy he asks "how much is 2 plus 2?" and the guy gets up, closes the door, lowers the blinds, leans forward and asks "how much do you want it to be?" He was hired.
