Barnes is Ignoble

So, I went into my local Barnes & Noble, here in right wingnut Connecticut, to have a look at Charlie Pierce's "Idiot America".  For those not in the know, Charlie is a regular on NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" (which no one should miss:  it's generally on late morning Saturday and, someplaces, Sunday), and his intro mentions the book.  I'd been meaning to have a look, but hadn't got around to it until yesterday.

Well.

Not only didn't they have it in stock, THEY'RE NOT PERMITTED TO STOCK IT.  Three walls of right wing religiosity and another two of Obama bashing.  But not allowed to stock "Idiot America". 

Boycott Barnes & Noble.  They're just another Right Wingnut fascist corporation.  Enough is enough.  If the only books idiots get to read are lying idiocy, they'll surely believe it.  No child left behind, my ass.
