A little ray of liberal sunshine at a Houston B&N...
Edited on Thu Jun-10-04 11:20 AM by Richardo
Was working a my BushCo® mandated second job last night and came across a copy of Hillary's "Living History" placed in front of a pro-Bush book on the shelves.

Now this sort of customer behavior is very common in bookstores, but here in the 9th Circle we usually see the pro-Bush books placed in front of the liberal stuff, not vice-versa.

I smiled to myself, silently toasted :toast: the mystery liberal customer, and reluctantly moved the books back to their proper spots.

Sweet! :thumbsup:

...5303, to be exact.

Come by some time, Lisa - you'll always find a liberal book on the Staff Rec shelves (from "Rich") at 20% off. ;)

Right now: "Salam Pax: The Clandestine Diary of an Ordinary Iraqi"

I've got to start making decisions about when I'm heading down Saturday.

17. You bought TXlib's present there?
Did you buy him some crayons to go with it, or will he have to supply his own?

16. The nametags looks great, BTW
I reduced the size of mine a bit to fit a name tag holder I was able to er-borrow from the office.

19. I'm notorious for doing that at the local bookstores in Wilmington
Except for my local independent bookstore. I know the owners and I wouldn't do that to them. We joke about it though and they didn't mind that I put Living History in front of that crap written by toe-sucking Dick Morris
