Borders offered me a great deal on W's upcoming memoirs!

As a member of their program, I got an automatic offer of a whopping 46% discount on the upcoming book!!!!!!!!!!!!

But.........I figured if Bush had anything at all to do with it (probability remote but not entirely impossible),
I would be better off if I waited until the English translation comes out.

1. They should pay you to take it.

2. Or you could just go to their bathroom and pull a roll for yourself.

What's it called? "Operation Freedom Jesus against 9-11 Terror: Mission Accomplished!"?

3. Yeah, what a shock to the ol' inbox.
Then again, they recommended the DVD Notting Hill for me too, so it's not as though I can take the W thing personally. ;-)

Come to think of it, they may have had an e-mail blast for Sarah Palin's book too. Oh, the humanity... :puke:

7. I must have missed the email blast about Palin
I suspect they gagged when trying to push Palin's memoirs as a "book."

Besides, someone must have had a hard time calculating how they could make money offering customers $3 to take copies our off their hands.

8. Well, I mean after all............
I speak nine languages, but Bushese is not one of them, and when a language has no written version, translation get tedious.

5. Not actually available 'til Nov 9
I can't wait. My life will be in suspenders for the next half a year.

I've read, however, there's some chance that Borders won't be around on Nov 9. I think they're struggling to stay in business.

:hi:

6. If they're relying on the sales from that, they're in even deeper doo doo.
