The Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy of Book Store Clerks
Posted on April 28th, 2008 by Tintin
“If I close my eyes, it makes
all the bad liberals disappear.”
all the bad liberals disappear.”
K-Lo is in Washington, DC, and apparently has nothing better to do than cruise the bookstores in Georgetown to ferret out evidence of the conspiracy of liberal book store clerks to misfile books in order to demean conservative icons:
Barack Obama’s autobiography makes the “African-American” section in the Barnes & Noble on M Street in Georgetown. Clarence Thomas’s autobiography does not. Wonder how that decision was made.
Sometimes these people are so full of manufactured outrage that it’s a wonder that they can find time to breathe. And when book store slackers become the object of someone’s outrage, well, the next thing you know, that same person will be screaming at a “barista” in Starbucks for making the cappuccinos too liberal.
She should check out the B&N in Florida I visit when down there.
I move all their conservative screeds into humor, fiction, and psychology, or at least all I can discretely carry around the store. They stock a lot of that crap down there.
Well, duh – Thomas’ autibiography is in the “self-loathing sexual harasser” section.
Shouldn’t K-Load be monitoring Google to make sure their logo is patriotically correct?
Well, given her past work, I will give her props for not saying “wander.” As for why the decision was made, I’m sure it had something to do with simple marketing an economics…you know, those things that wingnuts love about 95% of the time but go batshit nuts over that funny 5%. So yeah, Grimace Jean, they probably put it in the “African-American” section because that’s where most people went to find it. Same goes for the decision to put Clarence Thomas’ book in the (I’m assuming) political section. And FWIW, I’m willing to bet that Obama’s autobiography is less political than Thomas’, and that both writers would agree.
Also, yeah. WGAS? Did this crew get this outraged over the torture memos? (No.)
And lovely, I dumped out “an” in lieu of “and” after mocking K-Load’s horrible, horrible writing.
Remember a couple of weeks ago, when Miss Romneyhearts marveled at a Douglas Feith book display (how could LIBERALS allow such a thing)? Wolcott was there with the LeBron double-handed-windmill dunk on that.

In fact, there is/was an evil liberal conspiracy to manipulate the location of certain books and DiffBrad apparently has fallen prey to their perfidy!
I’m thinking he should go book shopping with K-Lo to get deprogrammed!
In more than one sense, Thomas’s book was probably sold out.
Resume talk of anger-fucking, K-Lo.
What, Is Clarence Thomas African-American? I guess that explains why he’s so bitter.
Feh. Tokyo and New York get Godzilla. We get Jozilla.
Does she say why she’s here?
Nope.
Maybe she’s meeting up with Johan LoededHosen. I’ll take the camera and see if I can catch them having a tete-a-tete over three dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
Scream at it all you want, Kathryn.
Its still not going to make your reflection stop sneering at you.
Those drinks are too liberal. Everytime I have one I add at least 2 more stickers to my car.
Why doesn’t that blubbering, winebox-tapping turd burglar ask the publishers?
What disgusting sacks of shit these neocon retards are.
I move all their conservative screeds into humor, fiction, and psychology
Win. I recently saw The Purpose Driven Life shelved under “Alternative Religion” with books on Egyptian Neopaganism and Horoscope Dieting. Do you ever get over to Trident on Newbury St, Brad?
Maybe she’s meeting up with Johan LoededHosen. I’ll take the camera and see if I can catch them having a tete-a-tete over three dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
There is WAY too much sexual innuendo packed into that comment. You will be getting calls from the FCC and my attorney.
a different brad:
They didn’t have a discount or close out section? I used to slap half off stickers on them, or 30 or 40% off. I stopped because I realized it was hurting the bookstore more than the Wing nut welfare recipients. You have to love the tags on Amazon though.
Would ye prefer if I said hot dogs, maybe?
Or in Johand’s case, Vienna Wieners.
“If I close my eyes, I can be just as thin as all those other girls and even have a hot boyfriend!”
I believe that’s what she meant to say.
And at the risk of being labeled a lookist sexist doody-caca head, I really REALLY want to take a bucket of hot wax to that woman’s forehead.
Does she have an Andy Rooney fetish or are neat eyebrows part of the Evile Lieberul Conspiracy?
Yo! At least brush them (in one direction) you stupid slag!
Ahem.
/Lookist sexist doody-caca head rant
Don’t know if you guys are in for shooting some fish in a barrel, but Don Surber just compared Obama to Steve Urkel: http://blogs.dailymail.com/donsurber/2008/04/27/obama-to-debate-himself/
Holy crap, Urkel was black?
There’s always Corner boys, and you can make ’em like you.
Jesus. I worked in bookstores for three years of my life, and these assholes always show up – “Why isn’t Sometimes a Great Notion shelved in memoirs?” or “How dare you put David Icke in alternative religions instead of current events?” They always have a pet book or author, and they always have a special special place they want that book to be, and they always end up ranting for 20 minutes at a bookstore clerk who wants to get back to shelving books.
It’s the goddamn publishers and the corporate offices in New York, who all li9ve in Connecticut or upstate and probably vote Republican, you tube of biscuit dough. Stop harassing students working their way through college.
Maybe the fact that Obama’s book is selling much better than Thomas’s winefest might have something to do with it??
Maybe the bookstore thinks, for some mysterious reason, that neo-cons don’t typically look at any books in the African-American section and that people looking for books in the African-American section probably aren’t terribly interested in buying Thomas’s tome.
erg, wHinefest. dagnabit
Countdown to K. Lo. covering up for her bizarre paranoia by declaring that it was all a joke. 10….9….8…
I’d be witty in response to y’all, but the Fung Wah is too boring, I got no juice.
Or maybe Thomas’s publisher wanted it stocked somewhere else.
If only KLo had a way to find out…..
She’s cruising the bookstores looking for porn to denounce–or so she says. So far she’s nabbed Hannah Montana, but no soldiers.
I fear the pope’s visit has unhinged our Kathryn Jean, and soon she’ll be running down the streets throwing burqas over teenage girls and yelling the Hail Mary.
I believe you can find the Justice Thomas autobiography in the Uncle Tom section, right next to the Alan Keyes and Colin Powell selections.
““If I close my eyes, it makes
all the bad liberals disappear.”
Or, she’s dreaming of Dick Cheney, naked.
PS–doesn’t K-Lo look a little like Teh Pantload in drag?
I know someone who used to work as a barista at the Starbucks up in
DivasDavis Sq. She said this one customer kept complaining that the they put the milk in the steamer/foamer thingy too long, such that “the milk gets too hot and turns to butter”. Last time I checked, that’s not how butter is made.So we made the joke that every substance has a “butter point”: the temperature at which it magically turns into butter.
I thought conservatives were supposed to understand and support how markets work: If something doesn’t sell, then why bother with it? Who wants their inventory stacked with crap that won’t be going through the cash registers?
She and her wingnut friends can bulk buy any conservatard tome they want to jack up numbers on the NYT best-seller list, but if the real market says a product is a stinker, then hey, that’s fair.
The fact is, she is correct. No wonder the blacks are so brainwashed, with no balanced conservative writers to inspire them, they want welfare and crack, instead of the hard work that Clarence Thomas has done. Here in the heartland, I make sure bookstores and libraries have balanced collections and that there are always conservative points of view represented, for even in the heartland, there are some hard left biased bookstores. And library collections are always biased. They are often not busy, I imagine that if they actually beleived in Free Market Principals they would sell more books to the majority of heartlanders like me.
well, the next thing you know, that same person will be screaming at a “barista” in Starbucks for making the cappuccinos too liberal.
Uh, didn’t one of them actually do this already? I’m not going to look it up because that would give me such a pain, but I think one of the Protein Wisdom loons, or maybe Confederate Yankee, went berserk because Starbuck’s uses words like “venti” to indicate coffee sizes.
I’m pretty sure that’s a real memory…
To be fair, some bookstore wage slaves do put a lot of thought into where the books should go. Back in ’89 and ’90 when I worked at a Doubleday, these were important decisions.
After much debate, for example, we placed the poetry of Jim Morrison in “Humor.” Danielle Steele’s love poetry went into “Juvenile.” And “Adrift” went into the “On Travel” section.
One customer who actually asked for “Adrift” was very amused to find it in Travel. The customer who wanted the Danielle Steele love poems was less amused when she was sent to Juvenile. Nobody asked for the Lizard King’s poems while I was on duty.
No wonder the blacks are so brainwashed, with no balanced conservative writers to inspire them, they want welfare and crack
all the crack-smoking welfare queens I know got that way from reading Toni Morrison, Skip Gates and August Wilson.
I’m pretty sure that’s a real memory…
I seem to remember that too. Could it have been Lileks? Sounds like his kind of screech.
As a former Starbucks “barista” I can tell you that I got bitched out ALL THE TIME over this.
Is it just me, or does the Old Testament really belong in the “hate literature” section?
Well, of course.
Bookstores are OBVIOUSLY all liberal and seditious.
Have they never seen “Fahrenheit 451”?
I’m surprised Gary even goes into one without a flamethrower.
The fact is that the NAACP and black America have begun to undermine Barack Obama’s candidacy. They know that if Obama is nominated or even elected somehow, it will undermine the basis for affirmative action and will lead to a weakening of their position. The NAACP thrives on the notion that blacks are opressed, but if Obama wins, then that proves them wrong.
It became obvious as Jeremiah Wright was given a heroes welcome by the NAACP in clips certain to be played in ads this election season.
Wright sold his tapes to the media to help undermine Obama. Less people would believe “USA of KKK” rants if Obama won.
They’re protecting their business, and they’re going to kneecap Obama.
If I had photoshop and the skillz, I’ll bet I could work something out between that K-Lo pic and this, or maybe this from behind, or perhaps this. Such a dirty bird.
[i] Uh, didn’t one of them actually do this already? I’m not going to look it up because that would give me such a pain, but I think one of the Protein Wisdom loons, or maybe Confederate Yankee, went berserk because Starbuck’s uses words like “venti” to indicate coffee sizes.
I’m pretty sure that’s a real memory…[/i]
I rage against that all the time. Not because it’s unamerican but because it makes no fucking sense. Then I remember that starbucks tastes like ass (and not in that good way I like) and makes my pee smell and I seldom buy it.
“Not that I’m you know, gonna actually try to find out or anything, because the answer probably isn’t as delicious as the conspiracy theory I can get going by simply ‘wondering.'”
Jesus. I worked in bookstores for three years of my life, and these assholes always show up – “Why isn’t Sometimes a Great Notion shelved in memoirs?” or “How dare you put David Icke in alternative religions instead of current events?” They always have a pet book or author, and they always have a special special place they want that book to be, and they always end up ranting for 20 minutes at a bookstore clerk who wants to get back to shelving books.
Ain’t that the damn truth.
Plus, the wingers are always looking for some new conspiracy theory. I remember working at B&N while I was in high school and having a guy seriously ask me if we were purposely not stocking enough of the new anti-Hillary screed so that people had difficulty finding it, because he’d heard on the radio that’s what was happening.
It was so stupid I think I ended up staring at him blankly for a moment or two before I regained my composure and explained that no matter what he heard on Rush we were a heartless capitalist enterprise and would sell any book that made money regardless of ideology
Okay, I’m fairly new here, is this “Ruppert” character for real or is he a parody troll? It’s so hard to tell sometimes.
These people must live their lives in constant, shuddering rage. They must have internal ulcers the size of beachballs. How are they alive?
@ JD Rhoades: Yes.
Sadly, no.
I wouldn’t fuck K-Load with Gary Ruppert’s dick.
Holy crap, Urkel was black?
He was, and you know what? Obama has not apologized for Urkel. If he can’t stand up to dweeby icons of Friday-night television, how can he stand up to the terrorists?
Gary was thrown out of his S&M club because he kept forgetting his safe word. He’s here for the punishment.
K-Load reminds me of Ann Coulter calling women at the 2004 Dem convention “hippie pie-wagons”…
The fact is, liberals would censor all conservative thought if they could, and replace it all with their low-quality PC screeds that glorify the acheivements on women and minorities and deniggrate the works of white men as “racist”, when they are the racist ones.
Not that I’m you know, gonna actually try to find out or anything, because the answer probably isn’t as delicious as the conspiracy theory I can get going by simply ‘wondering.
Yep. Right out of the Wingnut Playbook. Saying something “raises questions” is better to them than actually making an accusation, because it gives them plausible deniability. It was last seen when the Rethuglicans were trying to smokescreen the Foley scandal by “raising questions” about whether the Democrats withheld the story until right before the elections.
DMOP is on the case!
Monitoring Political Correctness
You know, the last time I was at the Barnes & Noble in Georgetown (this is the one on M Street, right?), the books in the fiction section weren’t even properly alphabetically organized! I had written it off as lazy, minimum wage-earning college kids not doing a very good job at the time, but now I realize it was all part of the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy to prevent our children from learning the alphabet so they don’t know how to spell America, Mom, or Apple Pie. Thanks K-Lo!
deniggrate the works of white men ,
Okay, definitely parody troll. The alternative is just too painful to contemplate.
Gary’s defending K-Lo. He must have a crush on her. He approves of her modest neckline and sexually ambiguous eyebrows. Her gluttony merely proves that she has repressed her sexual needs as a single woman should. Sara Lee has been her only lover until now.
Go for it, Gary, before it’s too late and her blossom of womanhood has been plucked!!111!!!.
has Gary Jumped the shark?
I’m fairly new here, is this “Ruppert” character for real or is he a parody troll?
It’s complicated.
Nah, Gary’s gay. It’ll be macho men like Jeff Gannon, Bill O’Reilly and even Shrubby McFlightsuitpackage himself that really pump his nads.
That’s why K-Lo gets him hot. She’s the closest he can get to making love to Antonin Scalia without joining the other team..
The fact is, soon you will begin to realize my full power.
Heck, my Utah Valley Starbucks (an odd and sad creature in and of itself) pushes its customers to buy a pound of coffee to send to the troops. Then the (non-coffee drinking) barista gives me a weird look whenever I say, “no thank you”.
“every substance has a “butter point”: the temperature at which it magically turns into butter.”
You have my attention. Please tell me more, such as the temperatures at which various substances commonly found in the home will turn to butter. Water, for example.
One problem with parody trolls.
In the Swamplands of Wingnuttia there exist practitioners of sublime droolage no parody could possibly match.
Well, he’s a real character. A real sad character.
The fact is, Gary is St8 and ya’ll will just have to deal with that.
I hear that if you heat up wood it turns into houses.
…my Utah Valley Starbucks (an odd and sad creature in and of itself)…
No doubt!
Are there BYU narcs in there, sipping a cup of milk and watching for naughty Cougar kids going in there to drink the Hard Stuff?
A buddy of mine went to BYU Hawaii and said all the nearby bars were staffed with really obvious moles.
Clarence Thomas is like so many homosexuals who live straight lifestyles – like Larry Craig or Mark Foley who want to bang other dudes or little boys – but stay in the closet despite reality.
Except for Mr. Thomas, like his peers Steele and Keyes, his race is in the closet. (PS – What’s up with Maryland?)
Possibly. Though when I’m there it’s more UVSC/UVU employed transplants bracing themselves for the day – with the usual gaggle of locals who “just love the hot chocolate”.
My eleven year-old recently suffered a bit in her school for sharing that her favorite drink is chai. Utah – beautiful place, shame about the people.
My money is on a bet that Thomas himself didn’t want it in the A-A section. I don’t think he considers himself such.
Utah – beautiful place, shame about the people.
The view is a bit nicer outside Happy Valley, IMO. Here in SLC it’s pretty easy to find a crowd of sane folk. Though I don’t know if your daughter would have a better time in school, sadly.
This morning I went into a Starbucks, expecting to get one of those recycled sleeves with offensive liberal tripe on it. To my surprise, it was actually a quote by Michael Medved. Just when my persecution complex was in serious danger of resolving itself, I remembered that I live in Tennessee, a red state. Fortunately, there was still first-class seating available for the afternoon flight to New York, so a few hours later I was doing a little shopping in the Village and looking for a more representative store. I had almost convinced myself that NYC has developed an anti-corporate bias when I finally spotted the familar green-and-white lettering. As the dark-skinned barista handed me my drink, I watched for the telltale smirk of anti-white racism. Her smile was unconvincing, but I had more important concerns. I looked under my hand and read the name: “Jonah Goldberg”.
As I stepped out onto the street, my spirits lifted. It is a lot of work, and the hours are long, but sometimes, like today, I get a sweet little sign from above that I am making a difference in the world. I called Ann Althouse to see if she could do lunch while I was in town, but she was too busy measuring the busts of the mannequins at Banana Republic.
Im in yr hows, lickeng yr roebotz.
Here in SLC it’s pretty easy to find a crowd of sane folk.
Agreed.
“Love” has a blog? Maybe if “Terror” has one, we can get the IP address and inform the DoD.
It’s in the uncle tom section
[…]You’ll never catch me[…]
Georgetown is in the Heartland now, Gary? Why do shops in the Elite Coastal Areas need to follow Heartland rules?
Maybe I’m about to chomp down on some troll bait but could you take this closet negro/Uncle Tom bullshit and shove it up your ass? If it won’t fit, you may substitute an explanation as to why minorities who do not vote/think a certain way are sell outs where their non-minority counterparts are not.
Note: If you’re going to use the “Goes against self-interest,” argument, you must explain the difference between say … Alan Keyes and the lower-class white guy who has lost his job and home yet consistently votes Republican.
Good luck!
Jackass.
Ruppert today’s conservative thought is a major source of humor material and satire. There would no point in silencing an endless supply of material. The world would become an incredibly dour place.
The fact is I am neither an troll norm am I parodyx. Hear in the heftland Wendys questions are poseured by liebrillos we donut reply except to keep you guesting. The frack is, our lipperary skilz were prefected by
grossgreat Patriots like Kat-urine LoPez so we can leed you traytors to the trooths.I am not a troll.
Dammit, terror is sneaky. However, we haven’t checked in all the closets or under all the beds yet, so we may find it yet, the li’l bastard.
I mock myself for poor, repetitive word choice: HAha </Nelson Muntz>
Amended Gary Superdupert – libs would ASSIMILATE all of conservative thought … all of it that was truly worth it to bother the long, costly, risky process of assimilating. The shameful smidgeon that ratio now represents is indicative of how shallow the neocon brain-pool is. Can’t take a good hot bath in a thimble now can we, after all, eh?
Actually there’s a silver lining on the Obama-Pope kerfufffle – at least they’re ragging on BHO for bringing up hard times for Yanks during some speech & not yelping “Oh noes, de nigras & de popists be a-conspirin’ hot & heavy ‘gainst our po’ defenceless super-rich-WASP-dude asses now, boss! They’s ALL part um de demonical conspiracy! ZOWIE!” At least not on camera. So there – at least, it’s more 1972 Tricky Dick ugly than 1955 HUAC ugly.
An excerpt from what my laptop puked up all over commentarymagazineland yonder:
“I’ve seldom seen a prefab narrative being sold quite so nakedly to a public that’s never supposed to parse it, including the outset of Gulf War 1 (& THAT was a surreal enough freakshow in its own right) … said narrative also reeking of High-Octane Fail yet magically living on & on like a conceptual Zombie (marketplace of ideas my eye) … not a peep about his using bundlers to cavil on the issue of special-interset lobbies, or his shoddy voting record in the Senate – yet reams about him informally making the boringly tautological remark that Rustbelt America is seething with bitterness over the way both coasts screwed it out of the DotCom boom, then left it to twist in the wind in its wake, or shrill pseudo-essays attempting to make him into his pastor’s poltical Siamese-Twin.”
(Please note I included meaningful crit of BHO, just to make their withered saurian hides get an additional psychic rash. Being ungentle to shitheels is an urgent & global civic necessity – it can sometimes even save a planet.)
Think they liked it?
Warning, ad hominem ahead: I never realized how much K-Lo’s eyebrows resemble Abe Vigoda’s. Crikey, being a conservative doesn’t mean you can ignore personal grooming. Um, never mind.
PS —-The answer to KJL’s (cross)burning Corner query?
Barack Obama is a very potent new meme & of interest.
Which sells books, even in 2008.
Clarence Thomas is neither.
No bright 12-year-old would have trouble getting the answer.
I just do wonder: how long had she gnashed her mandible over THIS nugget?
I’d be witty in response to y’all, but the Fung Wah is too boring, I got no juice.
Oh, complain all you want. You haven’t spent all day in dental emergency…
The fact is, k-Lo rolled in a layer of Cheeto dust is hot!hot!hot111!!

Church floor collapses during Christian rock concert. So does that mean God hates Christian rock?
Sadly, No!
The pastor says it was a “miracle” nobody was killed.
I used to work at Borders in Santa Monica and, one day David Horowitz stopped by the information desk. He was there to make sure we had all of his books in stock. He insisted on checking whatever the hell section they were shelved in, and when he noticed there were a few missing he demanded that we order them. I said, “Sure,” but I’m pretty sure I forgot to do that.
Aargh! There’s a wandering comma in there, dammit.
Speaking of miracles of safety, hope the Fung Wah treated you well, brad. Those 100 decibel Hong Kong movies alone are health risks.

has Gary Jumped the shark?
The fact is Gary has always Jumped the shark. Gary is always Jumping the shark. Gary always will be Jumping the shark.
Also Gary is Ann Althouse and Gavin’s fiance and probably Thers, too.
Ha ha, ITTDGY! You’re still not in on the (obvious, by this point) secret!
Hate to disagree with a noted scholar such as my friend ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© , but the fact is that Gary is a Dog Fucker, not a Shark Jumper.
The good pastor has never heard of a warning shot.
Secrets. Hmph!
Doop-dee-do.
The fact is, Gary jump-fucks dog sharks. YOU THINK I’M KIDDING?!!
Doop-dee-do.
Ooh, sub-tile!
Gary jumps me all the time.
But does he ever call afterwards?

The fact is, This is why True Conservative Thought is regulated to the sidelines by liberal bias, deliberate exclusion of Conservatives in the book store and in the libraries. No wonder most Americans are brainwashed and cannot find the truth, the liberals are hiding it. We will make them pay.
Did you say something, Gary? We weren’t listening.
Fellow liberals, where do YOU hide the truth? I kept it in my back pocket, but sat down too hard and got such a bruise, so now I keep it in the glove box.
Subtle is boring. Also, apparently obvious isn’t, always.
I think B&N employees across the country should join forces to make sure that the Communist Manifesto is a staff pick at all times. Imagine how many hilarious K-Lo columns that would generate.
Oh, I wasn’t poking, I was admiring… I thought it was smoove.

Gavin’s Fiancee is a shark?
hmpf.
Not just any shark. A jumping shark!
Or have I misinterpreted something?
Water-skiing in a leather jacket.
That is; in fact, the heart of it all.
A libertarian jumping shark. Do I have that right?
The longer a thread goes on, the probability of Gary’s sexual practices with animals being discussed approaches 1.
I call it The Heartland law.
I love that image of GF as a water-skiing, leather-jacket-wearing shark!
Go, GF!!
And how did it go today? Extraction? Root canal? ‘Enhanced Interrogation Techniques’?
When a parody of a self-parody jumps a shark that is also jumping, where does it land?
This has been your daily koan.
Enhanced interrogation techniques, and also antibiotics today. Extraction tomorrow when the swelling has gone down enough for them to do it. Send him happy thoughts, ok?
And Lawnguylander is just trying to bait me, I hope.
It lands in a metaphor.
Fellow liberals, where do YOU hide the truth?
Sock drawer.
Now K-Lo’s calling CNN a hussy. Fox is the hooker with the heart of gold. It’s called moral relativism, honey. “Star Trek babes” on Fox is fine. Anyone else is a slut. Ordinarily you have to read door graffiti in a girls’ high school bathroom to find quality journalism like this.”
Did Gavin get some vicodin to play with, at least?
Fung Wah was bit slow, but I made it home, much to my cat’s relief. No movies being played (howcum everyone’s experienced that but me?) but there was a loud baby.
Funny how no matter how much I bitch about NYC, it really does feel like home.
Goddamn hipster yuppies from Kansas ruining everything…
Now, to purchase Mario Kart for the Wii.
sigh
And, to insert, commas randomly like, a Swank.
And Lawnguylander is just trying to bait me, I hope.
What? Jumping libertarians is fun and you get more exercise than just stepping around them.
It lands in a metaphor.
Shouldn’t that be the metaphee?

Yes, as an author, I can tell you, nothing gets those books hand-sold like being a dick to the bookseller.
That Horowitz obviously wouldn’t have sense enough to pour piss out of a boot if you put the instructions on the heel.
Well i just checked the BN website and the Clarence Thomas book (formally titled How I Was Raised Up Poor And Unedumacated But I Sure Didn’t Let That Stop Me From Being Bitter and Angry At Others For Not Achieving What I Did Against All Freaking Odds, Yo! I’m a LEGAL EAGLE Now So Suck On It) is in stock at the Georgetown store – it’s just under POLITICS and “Legal Figures”. Christ if you want the damned book (or accompanying CD) try asking a clerk or using the computer in the store to find it.
I mean isn’t a little racist to say every single book or work by someone of color has to be under the African-American section? I’m not even sure what that section is about. I mean isn’t every biography of a person of color DEALING with what that means? Hell you could give me a million bucks and I wouldn’t be able to figure out what goes in the “African-American” section. Write a letter to Corporate BN HQ you freaking goober.
Well, that bastion of liberalism known as the Los Angeles Times hides its conservative columnists like Jonah Goldberg on the opinion page.
And you can tell the Los Angeles Time truly is biased because they use the stupid conservatives like Jonah Goldberg. Just to make the entire ideology look bad. If they were really interested in balance, they would use the SMART, PERCEPTIVE, HONEST conservatives like … uh … Thomas Sowell? Larry Elder? Bill O’Reilly? David Brooks?
I got nothing. What can you say for an ideology whose brightest thinkers are Ben Stein and George Will?
I think that this:
Will give neurologists material for years, and may even result in the discovery of a new disorder, which I will preemptively call “K-Lo Syndrome”
I saw the Sarah Jane Chronicles on Friday. And the fact is, I am convinced that K-Lo is an Adiposian.
That poor child. Jesus done sucked her brains clean out of her head, like a crawdad at a church supper.

Shalom, gentlemen.
Um…duh! You can find Clarence Thomas’ autobiography in the Negro section!
Did we pass, protected static?
Get your skinny ass back to Hell, Kristol.
And wipe that smirk off your face.
The fact is, the elitist elites who work at Barnes & Borders are elitist in the way they handle book placement. Placing Obama’s book in the elite “African-American” section and placing Clarence Thomas’ book in the non-elite “Legal” section is an affront to average cheesesteak eating people like me, Bill Kristol, America’s #1 regular guy. I’m so non-elite that it hurts!
Anyhoo, Obama’s a big meanie elite guy because he doesn’t wear a flag pin. Just ask me, Bill Kristol, America’s #1 regular guy! Also, the surge is working. Hmm, what else is in the news? Oh, Hillary’s awesome because she’s not the frontrunner anymore. Also, Obama’s an elitist elite who sickens me, Bill Kristol, America’s #1 regular guy. Also, the surge is working.
(Ed. note: Bill Kristol meant to say “Barnes & Noble.” Once again, the New York Times apologizes for the error.)
Hey Charlie, we’re winning the war, aren’t we?

“Justice Thomas……your colleague, Justice Scalia appeared in a 60 Minutes interview last night and made some remarkable statements, especially concerning the use of torture and whether it violated the 8th amendment prohibition against ‘cruel and unuual punishment’. Justice Scalia put forward that torturing detainees for interrogation purposes is not ‘punishment’ per say as the purpose of the interrogation is to extract information, not to punish the detainee. Any thoughts on that issue?”
blink blink
“Justice Thomas??”
“Um..,.yeah…..whatever the wop said”
Hey, guys! I thought you said you weren’t doing anything tonight!
*taps desperately on Kristol’s mom’s basement window*
C’mon, guys, I can see you hiding behind the sofa!

Aside: cheap shots at wingnuts’ personal grooming and body-fat percentages are certainly easy and gratifying, but I think we’re forgetting what Frank Zappa said:

Ack, I missed the dental comment earlier.
Good thoughts sent and a repeat of this link.
Just let Gav know that to find full episodes, search on “Bewsh”!
The fact is, I’ve been nailing Gavin for some time now.
K-Lo will find Clarence Thomas’ book prominently displayed in the section: ‘sexual harassment in the workplace’
Easy. Clarence’ Thomas’ book is rightfully found right next to “Liberal Fascism” in the bargain bin out front on the sidewalk. Seriously, at this point they’ll pay YOU to take the crap off their hands. It’s well known that repeated handling of these books results in a marked stupidification of the handler.
Did Gavin get some vicodin to play with, at least?
Nah, he didn’t even ask for any. Just a shot of whisky and a bullet to bite down on.
He’s a throwback, that man of mine.
Hey! Did I ever mention that I have a Hadrosaur pelvis with a petrified .375 H&H Magnum slug embedded in it in my sock drawer? Along with three Magnetic monopoles and a little jar full of Higgs Bosons?
Kind of interesting what people keep in there, huh?

I can only hope that the Muse of Poetically-Named Medical Conditions visits you in time.
Shouldn’t that be the metaphee?
Nope, but you raise a good point. Let’s just compromise on metafour!
Mikey hid the truth during an episode of
drug-inducedperfectly well-founded paranoia, and hasn’t found the cache yet.A Metaph is a variety of angel, higher in the Heavenly Hierarchy than a cherub but lower than a Seraph.
Fellow liberals, where do YOU hide the truth?
In a dictionary, that way no conservative will EVER find it. heh heh
So jumping sharks land on Metaphim?
The most likely reason why one is to be found in the African-American section and the other is not is how the publishers or the Library of Congress categorized the books. When I look at my local library’s catalog, the two Library of Congress subject headings on the Clarence Thomas book are “United States > Supreme Court > Biography” and “Judges > United States > Biography”. No mention that he’s African-American. The subject headings on Barack’s book include “African American Legislators > Biography”. Barack’s book is also classified as history, whereas Thomas’ is classified as biography.
So, basically, it’s congress’ fault.
I had a threesome once with two Metaphim. There was a great deal of jumping.
The Angel Urk-El said,
Incidentally, that is supposed to read “The Angel Urk-El sayeth,”, or “The Angel Urk-El spake”. Yea, I am wroth with WordPress.
So, when a parody of a self-parody jumps a shark that is also jumping, it lands on a metaphim(s) and has a threesome.
Intriguing.

“First of all, I cannot be bought and second of all, if I could, it would not be for Bangers and Mash and a glass of white wine.”
Too funny.
O horrors. The thought of books by “those people” mingling with the lily-white books makes me feel quite faint.
Sorry, I mock the whole sub-sub-sub-genres thing because like so many corporate ideas it’s bloody stupid. Where (for example) do you put S.R. Delaney? African-American? Sci-Fi? Fiction? GLB? Why not make a whole sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-genre called gafro-sci?
Banger? I don’t even know her.
“First of all, I cannot be bought and second of all, if I could, it would not be for Bangers and Mash and a glass of white wine.”
She’s no Althouse.
I’m a hetero-male and even I want to wax those eyebrows.
Megs prefers red wine. Got it.
Clarence Thomas’s autobiography does not. Wonder how that decision was made.
What the hell does Uncle Thomas have to do with black people?
That’s just plain weird.
.
She’s no Althouse.
Althouse might not be had for a glass, either. Best offer the whole box.

I used to periodically go on a rage-for-order rampage and try to get all my books and music shelved properly. Being a tad obsessive-compulsive and more than a little anal, I’d drive myself crazy trying to define everything. Finally I just said fuck it and forgot all about genres, short of fiction and non-fiction. And the music I just put in alphabetical order by artist. Now, of course, it’s moot because I’m stuck in this little hellhole of an apartment and everything’s just thrown on the shelves. Hell I don’t even really have shelves anymore. (I’m not bitter. Why do you ask?)
I thought people like K-Lo are supposed to disapprove of the whole hyphenated-American thing anyway? Why would she want her beloved Clarence to be shelved with the hyphenateds? Consistency and logic are utterly alien to the conservative nature.
“First of all, I cannot be bought and second of all, if I could, it would not be for Bangers and Mash and a glass of white wine.”

Dammit, g totally beat me to it.
Look, this is beginning to aggravate me. No particular experience is “essentially black” and no skin tone will make you “always”, “sometimes”, or “never” black. Clarence Thomas does not speak for black people, but neither has he forfeited his blackness by not believing or behaving in a particular way. He is not a “black jurist” (as opposed to an ordinary, or white jurist) but he is also not any such thing as a “traitor to his race”.
On the one hand race is treated like something a person can never climb out from under; on the other, it is something that has to be earned. Can’t he just be an evil douchebag?
Pedestrian,
Ya mean like affirmative action for assholes?
Hmmmm… Your idea intrigues me!
So … Clarence Thomas is an Evil Douchebag-American?
The poor shelver could have told K-Lo that
Just Us“Justice” Thomas’ book is kept safely behind the counter, in order to protect it from the mis-shelving hijinks of naughty lie-bruls like diffBrad. Imagine how much fun *that* column would have been to mock!Smut Clyde, Alan Rickman played a Metaph in DOGMA, and obviously quite enjoyed the job.
And Arky, Chip Delaney used to have a little comedy riff about that very question — he insisted his work should be shelved under “poetry”. And that — is the rest of the story.
Yes, and if bookstores want a sub-genre called “Evil Douchebag-American Literature”, or simply, “Non-Fact”, I can see the value from an organizational perspective.
THE FACT IS!!!!
SHUT UP!!!!!
Has anyone from last night figured out that they’re missing their “Lake Louise” baseball cap yet, or should we raffle it off to help cover dental expenses?
Fellow liberals, where do YOU hide the truth?
I bought one of those fake rocks out of the Skymall catalog last time I flew to the Islamofascist Gay Abortion Training Center. The truth fits very nicely in it… but now I can’t remember which of the rocks in my front yard is the fake one.
Also, if a parody of a self-parodying troll jumps a shark that is jumping…
and the jumping’s in a bottle that is sitting on a poodle and the poodle’s eating noodles…
it’s called a tweedle beetle poodle noodle paddle bottle battle muddle.
Note: If you’re going to use the “Goes against self-interest,” argument, you must explain the difference between say … Alan Keyes and the lower-class white guy who has lost his job and home yet consistently votes Republican.
Well, the difference is that Keyes is well-compensated for working against the common interests of black Americans, while your hypothetical white guy isn’t, and is in fact punished for his voting habits. Keyes, in other words, is smart enough to know the system and work it to his benefit, while your lower-class white guy isn’t.
I’d’ve thought that was obvious.
Please cease and desist the personal name calling vulgarities. I can stand debate on my issues but don’t degenerate yourselves to the point of this. It’s low, and useless and if you had any ability to engage in civil minded debate, you might be addressing the facts I raise and not attacking me personally.
Justice Thomas ruled in favor of voter registration laws, which most people believe are aimed at poor and minorities.
I call fake K-Lo. I don’t see any spelling errors in that comment.

Kathryn, pray tell, how are we to debate the issues of war and torture with someone who takes soldiers – whose lives are at risk because of people like you – to task for finding some brief respite in the pages of Playboy magazine? Your priorities and your morals are way out of wack, dearie. Now, if you’d like to sign up for a war that will cost you dearly in parts and bodily fluids like blood, I’ll be happy to “debate the issues” with you. Until then, you are fair game for ridiculue.
Gee Kathy-Jean, if I call you a “moron” is that name calling?
Even if it’s true?
Don’t forget gays and women and … just about everyone who isn’t Alan Keyes. My point is, if he (or Thomas or any of the melanin enhanced fRightWingers) were Caucasian, people would just classify him as an evil douchebag and move on. For some reason he merits an extra set of vapors because he’s an evil douchebag who happens to be African American.
And of course his other evil douchebag friends get to scream Racist! when people point out that he is an evil douchebag.
Uncle T. gets trotted out every time an African-American does or says something that someone else (regardless of race) thinks they shouldn’t, and (ahem) sometimes for such factors as skin color which are kind of hard to control. It’s bullshit, ignorant, boring bullshit when there are so many other terms we could use to describe Mr. Keyes 2 teh Asylum.
Hey. How’d I get on this soap box?
We could debate, how the pope put hope in Bush’s secretly-Catholic heart and spring in his step, or how public funds should be used to support Catholic schools. Or we can discuss how Lopez spent all day mocking a man of the cloth because he was of a different faith denomination.
On the other hand, the faux-legal language is a nice, conservative touch.

“Uh, didn’t one of them actually do this already? I’m not going to look it up because that would give me such a pain, but I think one of the Protein Wisdom loons, or maybe Confederate Yankee, went berserk because Starbuck’s uses words like “venti” to indicate coffee sizes.
I’m pretty sure that’s a real memory…”
It is indeed: http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/7848.html
Kathryn Jean Lopez said, Please cease and desist the personal name calling vulgarities. I can stand debate on my issues…”
Well, sweetie, if this really is you, there’s nothing to ‘debate’ because your ‘issues’ are just trumped-up bullshit.
And that’s being kind and giving you the benefit of the doubt, because some would say that the ‘issues’ you raise are signs of some seriously disordered thinking on your part. You’re delusional, and possibly paranoid.
As for making fun of your slovenly appearance, integrated eyebrow, etc., well, speaking for myself it’s just too hard sometimes to resist picking the low-hanging fruit.
But as for the substance of what you say – it’s just worthless bullshit. There’s really nothing to discuss.
Susan of Texas, I’d like to see some proof of that cheap shot. Or wait, you’ve probably taken a quote out of context or cherry picked an article. Surprised? I am not. Oh, and for the rest of you, ridicule does not equate debate. Thought they might have tought you that at the Ivy League schools mommy and daddy sent you to. Wonder why Mainstream America has written you off?
Pantload had the same whine, until mommy lined up some welfare institutes to bulk purchase.
Back in the ’90s my mother went up to a Barnes and Noble clerk. “I’m looking for the latest by Mary Higgins Clark…”
The clerk pointed to the suspense section.
“…and Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot…”
The clerk was about to point to the Al Franken display when my mother said. “I wasn’t asking you a question, I was making a statement — Rush Limbaugh IS a big fat idiot,” and she walked away.
K-lo
Frist mommy taught me to spell tought. You really are an editor?? Second who wants to debate with you? Finally brush that bright orange dust off your blouse, its disgusting.
Thought they might have tought you that at the Ivy League schools mommy and daddy sent you to.
Why do conservatives hate education and parents who benefit from supply-side economics?
I see this thread has gotten dazed and confused while I was slaving away at teh Borg.
We’ve missed you, ITTDGY.
And I’m still saying fake K-Lo.
Liberals hide truth in K-Load’s XXL panties, Gary.
Everybody knows that it’s in there, but nobody will ever volunteer to find it.
Wonder why Mainstream America has written you off?
Hun, have you seen any polls at all lately? I don’t think you’re in a position to talk about the mainstream public writing anyone off.
Why do so many of these idiots come to Sadly, No and complain we won’t debate them?
And what’s worse, they all say something complaining about the tone, the mockery or the insults.
I mean, how depleted uranium stupid do you have to be to miss the whole point of the whole freakin site? How are you so detached from your own concerns that you see that you are mentioned in a post on a particular site and have no interest in what KIND of site it is?
And just exactly what do they think they are going to accomplish, short of being mocked and insulted directly rather than indirectly?
Sorry, I guess I’m having a rhetorical questions moment.
Although, KJ, if you’d like to address these questions, let me distill it down to this:
What were you thinking, Grrrrllll?
mikey
You know who really hate the school voucher idea? Private religious schools. I remember the idea coming up quite a bit back when St. Ronnie was president at my fundie academy in the Ozarks. My school taught six-day-Creationism and used corporal punishment. Do you think we could have continued to do that on the public dole? As soon as tax dollars go to private schools they become public schools.
Why do so many of these idiots come to Sadly, No and complain we won’t debate them?
That’s one of the best things about Sadly,No! When they mock conservatives, it’s often so effective that they come by the comments to whine about it. I mean, hell, after the most recent mocking of John Lott, the guy showed up in no time. Jeff Godlstein never fails to show. Same for Ace. I half expect Glenn Reynolds to come by some time after a good mocking. But he might be too oblivious.
Oh, and for the rest of you, ridicule does not equate debate.
Quite true. And neither does spouting ridiculous shit.
And those who spout ridiculous shit deserve ridicule, not debate.
If that were the real K-Lo she’d be offering to pray for me.
She’ll also have to point out which cheap shot.
Since you’re here, K-Lo, could you explain how it feels to work for a perpetually money-losing “business” sucking down Wingnut Welfare, all the while parading capitalism and the free market? And why doesn’t National Review sell enough copies to pay all of your salaries? Do you feel that speaks well of the kind of support you have for the ideology your magazine pimps out?
Because from where I sit, your outfit looks like an Astroturf organization.
I’m not so certain about it being a fake K-Lo. The whining is certainly present. Hurt feelings. Complaint about ‘tone’.
So, just in case, I shall address her ‘facts’. Well, I’ll repost what A Concerned Citizen said at 22:38 because it sums up the real facts so well:
The most likely reason why one is to be found in the African-American section and the other is not is how the publishers or the Library of Congress categorized the books.

Barack’s book is also classified as history, whereas Thomas’ is classified as biography.
Nice little piece of research summarized well; question answered; K-Lo’s ‘facts’ debunked. Thanks, Citizen!
Now, on to more important topics! About that shark / archangel / jumping three-way thing…
She’ll also have to point out which cheap shot.
Yeah, because she’s noted for her history of clear, concise, insightful and well thought out writing, right?
mikey

When will conservatives finally either A) learn to use Google, or B) stop being too damn lazy to find answers to their questions. Like why Thomas’s book wasn’t placed in the African-American section.

The fact is, mikey, many of these idiots are be us. At least that is what my dim-witted, work-addled, unable-to-jump-the-shark brain is picking up.
P.S. I already knew we had met the enemy, someplace or other.
Hey K-Lo, could you do us all a favor? Sometime in the office, casually refer to Jonah Goldberg as “Doughy Pantload” in his presence. He’ll know what it’s about.
And please video, or at least audio tape this. You’ll probably love the reaction.
Thanks!
As I understand it, they do indeed show up but in typical chickenshit reichtard fashion they don’t use their real names.

When I worked at Borders Books Muzak Movies & A Cafe (1998-2002) the decision on which section to put a book in was made by some idiot English major working for shit wages in Ann Arbor (corp. HQ). There was a procedure for correcting bad choices. I always did my best to hide the right wing bullshit, though, unlike diffbrad, I couldn’t put it all the way in psych as I was getting paid (though not much at all) to do it & needed the job. So there, K-Je!
As a note, I suspect that at Borders both books would have gone in the “Politics” section.

Would it kill KLo to tweeze her eyebrows? Or at least comb them neatly?
Yes, I am just as critical of male pundits’ eyebrows, and I defy you to find anyone else who shows up on the tee-vee with such godawful dishevelment going on up there.
No, K-Lo’s right. Let’s talk some more about how tired I am of her religion being shoved down my throat with her endless pious posts.I could just go elsewhere, but how else would I know how to obey some religion I don’t belong to?
If I accept K-Lo’s premise, I’ll spend every moment hunting down people of multiple religions to tell me what to think and do. If they disagree, we can put their gods into a wrestling ring and let them duke it out. I’m putting my money on Cronos.
Hi, M. Bouffant! You worked at Borders? In LA?
thanks for visiting my blog. I was planning to email you now I’m not at work.
FWIW, there’s been a copy of Thomas’s book in the same spot on the 7-day loan shelves at my local public library every time I’ve gone since at least December, when I first noticed it. Other books come and go or get moved to other places (the books on those shelves aren’t alphabetized). You’d almost think no one had checked it out in all that time…
i miss this place. been busy.
k-lo, really?
as always, i am fascinated by those who cannot separate tone from fact claims
ya see, you can shit all over our troops without actually using the words “shit” or even “poop”. you can do so by signing them up for more tours in a useless attempt to stop someone else’s civil war. (ironically) doing so civilly does not make you any less complicit in being a murderer-by-proxy.
now i, from my perch having been right about every damn thing leading up to this abomination of a waste of human flesh, i may say mean things about you. due to a good upbringing those things won’t include sexism or racism–unnecessary. what i will say about you k-lo is that you are a loathsome piece of shit that i wouldn’t piss on if you were on fire. because you use your words to kill maim and injure in a most hateful way, all while using obfuscatory sidebars in order to mislead. i find this behavior most vile, and frankly the english language fails me in my attempt to engage you.
i will defer to mike judge–you are, on your best day, a no talent ass clown.
and a dimwitted fucktard.

I’m personally delighted that it might actually be the real K-Lo that’s shown up! She needs to realize though that we’re not here to ridicule her, we’re here to make fun of ridicule!
Late again, but when I read right wing whining about placement in book stores, I have the urge to scream “Amazon”, or have they not heard about the old inter-tubes booking buying phenomenon….
Er… What mikey said (tho’ these days I’m way too much of an elitist to hump the PRC, or whatever it is that kids today call it… someone else will have to do it…).
