This is scary:
"I'm a big fan of Hillary's and Bill's," said Greg Packer, who was the first in line, arriving at 9 p.m. Sunday. Packer, 39, a highway maintenance worker from Huntington, planned to buy two books the limit because Clinton "has a lot to say."
In spite of the limit on wristbands, the crowd kept growing on a line behind police barricades near a side entrance to the Fifth Avenue store.
Barnes & Nobles' vice president of marketing, Bob Wietrack, predicted the memoir will be the chain's No. 1 nonfiction book of the year. Simon & Schuster, which agreed to pay Clinton $8 million, printed an astounding 1 million copies.
Richard Paice, a 36-year-old lawyer, decided on the spur of the moment to join the book signing line at 8:50 a.m.
"If you think about it, it's a historic moment. She's the smartest person in politics in modern history," said Paice.
Evidently, there's many more mental-midgets than we thought.

All this admiration of PIAPS is getting to me, but I've found a way to channel my aggression, I've been out in the yard ripping up weeds. At this rate, my lawn and garden will be weed-free in two days! :)
Has anyone heard from Aggie Mama? Little Aggie was set to make his world debut soon.

Packer, 39, a highway maintenance worker [aka UNION] from Huntington, planned to buy two books.I would dare to say that over half the crowd were union people.Remember Speaker Jim Wright?
