Tonight at Barnes & Nobels I got angry! I went to buy Dick Morris's new book Rewriting History. When I entered the store the table facing the front door was covered with all the new anti-Bush books, too many to mention. I looked all the way around the table expecting to find Morris on the back side. His book wasn't there.
I went to the nearest cash register & asked the lady where I might find Rewriting History (I am starting to smolder). She checked the computer and then informed me it was all the way across the store on the back wall.
I asked her why it was that the anti-Bush books slapped me in the face when I came in, but I had to ask for help to find Morris's book. She frowned and then said "I wish I knew, I just do what I am told". I told her I would like to ask the manager that question and she said "I wish you would, let me call him". She was grinning from ear to ear.
In a few minutes the manager showed up and after I asked him my question he blushed and stammered for a minute. Then he apologized several times and said he would make sure, from now on, that the front table would be "fair and balanced".
Then he added that the pro Bush books sold better anyway and they should be up front, like he didn't even know that they weren't.
Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of Reno/Carson City. Just not Vegas.
lol. I was in Costco and I strategically placed a novel with the title, "Divine Evil", on top of a pile of Clinton's books.
I have been to Reno once. Once was enough. Sleazy. Like old Las Vegas. Whats wrong with northern AZ or NM?
Meanwhile, screw Barnes and Noble, and Amazon, and buy your books through the Conservative Book Club or search engine.
I lived in New Mexico. Farmington for a year. Yeah, I agree with you on Reno, but Carson City is completely different. I spent a week down there.
There's a long story behind the choosing of that place. Mostly, because my mother-n-law wants to go there, and I'm sick of the Socialist Republic of Washington. Nevada is inherently more conservative. So is Arizona, though.
Best of luck with your choice of a new home.
I really like taking the omnipresent "My Life" by Bill and moving it from nonfiction to fiction.
Thank you. Even if it comes from a Houstonian. Talk about zoos. :) Hehe!
That is exellent!
I'll ignore that.
Loved your tagline.
Do you know anyone who could photoshop
Kerry and Te-reZ-ah's faces onto Boris and Natasha's
bodies?
It should say, "Welcome to Zouston." :) Hehehe! Just kidding!
If pro-Bush books sell better, why in the world are they hiding them from the customers?
I figured you were like a diet Xena. But I thought I'd throw you a humorous question.
Anything can come from Amazon. I know a woman who is from some town 20 miles out of Reno who works at a distribution facility the size of 15 soccer fields.
Amazon has it together.
