Your horoscope says this is a bad day for dumping unused gifts.

It's interesting to note that all of the copies of the Bush-Bashing books on display are UNSOLD. They can print them up, but that doesn't mean they are rushing out the doors.

Meanwhile, every single copy of Unfit For Command that hits the shelf is quickly swept up and read.

Kerry opening his yap and attacking this book has to be good for another 1,000,000 copies sold.

Yesterday, by chance I was in your Eatontown, New Jersey Branch

With all of the shenanigans going on with the NJ Legislature, this story seems to make perfect sense when you know where the exchange took place..

Why are so many people being told it is sold out and will not be available for 5 to 7 weeks then? They've been taking advanced orders for a long time. They knew they needed a bunch of them.

The more the Lurchites try to suppress this book, the more people will hear about it, wonder about it, and ultimately buy it. Why, even Juan (pronounced Wan) Williams has been "reading it" for the last two weeks (slow reader) and Chris Matthews may even get around to flipping through it.

There are several copies avalable at Borders on Laskin Rd. in VA Beach.

So I highly doubt that there is really a ban.

Reading is a strictly conservative trick...he'll never finish it.

This is an open invitation to ALL FReepers, veteran or not, Vietnam era or not. Please join us on September 12th as we tell the world that John Kerry was a liar and traitor then, just as he is a liar and traitor now

KERRY LIED . . . while good men died

A gathering of Vietnam veterans from across America

John Kerry told the world we were war criminals who raped, tortured and murdered in Vietnam. Now, thirty-three years later, we will tell America the truth. Where: Upper Senate Park, Washington, D.C. It is easy to get to, shady and pretty, with a great view of the Capitol dome in back of the speaker's platform. THIS IS A NEW LOCATION AS OF 7/17/04

When: Sunday, Sept 12, 2004 2:00-4:00 PM (EDT)

Why: To tell the truth about Vietnam veterans. To counter the lies told about Vietnam veterans by John Kerry

All Vietnam veterans and their families and supporters are asked to attend. Other veterans are invited as honored guests.

If you are in DC on the 11th, look for the National March Against Terror.

I picked mine up at Borders in West Des Moines last night after reserving it. The clerk said he couldn't believe how fast they were flying out of there and they went through the lastest shipment in a couple hours.

No need to actually read it, the MSM has already decreed that it is full of lies. The MSM is never wrong.

Book-readers are the most threatening segment of the population to tyrannies of every stripe.

If the allegations in the book are true, Kerry is roadkill.

The pen can be mightier than the sword in politics, if not in statecraft.

"said that Borders was not carrying this book because it was full of lies."

This is what was said (original text), and also what I commented about. It is obviously not true.

"Why are so many people being told it is sold out and will not be available for 5 to 7 weeks then?"

This is what you said, and has nothing to do with my comment!
I have no idea why Borders doesnt have enough copies, nor do I care. I'm sure they will restock.

The Border's in Framingham, Mass, is very, very liberal.

I think all freepers should call their local bookstores and ask if "Unfit for Command" is in stock. It will ring a bell with the store owners, who need revenue more than they need their liberal principles. I am going to call B&N and a couple of leftist bookstores in my town. If they don't have it, I'm going to ask when they expect to get it in stock.

No, this is a case of the store manager in each Borders handling UfC differently, and some are basing their decision on their political view. It's a store by store thing.
