To: The Bandit

This is a hoot! I just called Barnes and Nobles in my town and asked the clerk if they had "Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man" in stock.

I told him him came out yesterday and Amazon has it on its best seller list.

He had to go check and had an unpleasant tone in his voice at having to report he had it in stock and took my name to hold it for me.

CALL YOUR BARNES AND NOBLES AND BORDERS AND ASK IF THEY HAVE "MICHAEL MOORE IS A BIG FAT STUPID WHITE MAN"!

That has got to be one of the all time best titles to call up brick and morter bookstores (which are dominated with young liberal clerks and older liberal managers).

I may have to spend tomorrow calling around town to see if I can find a store "near me" that has it in stock. If they ask me for my name so that they can hold it for me, I'll say "that won't be necessary... unless you are afraid that it will sell out before I get there...".

In Austin there was a prankster who wrote an article for a locally published zine/magazine (it was published, not photocopied). He called up a number of these stores (including the "respected" Book People) and asked the people at the desk about different upcoming signings by people like Jack Kerouac, Samuel Clemens, etc... They'd say that they "think so" but that they'd go check. He'd cut them to the quick and tell them how long ago they died and maybe what their pen names were.
