BOOKS UNBALANCED
The Mo bitches at Borders are in money trouble:
Borders could become the latest victim of the credit squeeze, announcing Thursday that it may put itself up for sale ... . Shares in Borders tumbled more than 39 percent ...
They can always increase their bag levy.
UPDATE. In other book news, a disgruntled Michael Moore staffer is selling his copy of Downsize This:
Mr. Moore’s staff provided NO TRAINING AT ALL to the intricacies of his very weird office, except for one briefing document that described what food the office must always have ...
(Via Chris W.)
The food bit should be easy:
For the Lard Lord of the Left:
Post-arrival at 1000: four Big Macs with large chips and a coke every three minutes until he departs
(NOte to staff: very important! During meals these are his snacks for those long picoseconds in between bites)Elevenses (1100-1155): 12 family size Supreme pizzas with stuffed crust, extra cheese, extra meat and more extra cheese. 12 litres of coke
Lunch (1200-1255): one 50lb chunk of thick-battered whale blubber deep-fried in pig fat. 45lb of chips. 24 litres of coke
Oneses (1300-1355): One large antidue brass spittoon filled with macaroni cheese. 5 litres of jolt to keep the hardworking colossus of the left alert.
1400: famished from a hard day at the office, the jubbling titan of the progressive world retired for dinner (1430-2330)
Sound about right?

canberraMorning
“Health insurance sure would have come in handy when my APPENDIX EXPLODED!!! (see 2nd picture below) And let me tell you, these hospitals & doctors are not very nice when you owe them money. Buncha greedy bas*ards! We need a new French Revolution, but in America!”
So doctors saved his life, and he wants to guillotine them for sending him a bill?
Yep, he fit right in with the rest of the Moorons.
Maybe they should call in the

I’m sorry, but that is absolutely hilarious.
Reality is such a bitch for lefties.

Is Borders a book shop? I’ve always thought it was a library. You only ever see people reading and drinking coffee on the lounges at Borders.
I’ve noticed that myself - and made use of those amenities a few times as well. A curious business model, wouldn’t you say?
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2008 03 23 at 02:16 AM • permalinkI’ve shopped at Borders once. Never again.
I buy books online these days. It’s cheaper to get a hardcover with postage and to buy the paperback from Borders or Angus and Robertson or Dymocks.
It’s also quicker at times!

LOL! Says it all.
Posted by Nilknarf Arbed on 2008 03 23 at 02:39 AM • permalinkScholars theorize that this stanza was from an early part of the Epic, wherein Myron the Plumber examines a swollen waste-pipe.
Scholars Discover Fragment

An Expert Renders His Opinion“I been through the toilet-clog wars;
I’m guessing this bad boy ain’t yours.”

Me too. Huge section of CDs but impossible to find anything interesting because of the crappy way they’re arranged. I always buy CDs and books on line. Here’s a plug for a good Australia/NZ site my wife and I use regularly - and free postage for orders over $50. No dearer than Amazon and faster delivery (and in some cases cheaper than Amazon)—
Posted by walterplinge on 2008 03 23 at 04:30 AM • permalinkA number of years ago, I bought a copy of Bob Woodward’s “Bush at War” from my local Borders.
In a misguided attempy to make conversation, the salescrek asked me why I’d want to read about such an evil dictator. I let her proceed with the transaction, then just as she was about to call the next customer, I asked for a refund.
She couldn’t process the refund by herself, and had to call her supervisor. When the supervisor asked why I was requesting a refund on a book I’d just purchased, I proclaimed that I was there to buy a book, not a political lecture, and the salesclerk was paid to operate a cash register, and not to dispense political opinion.
Is it any wonder people buy online?
Posted by Young and Free on 2008 03 23 at 07:09 AM • permalinkWow - and corporations with lefty sensibilities are usually so good with their finances.
Posted by Margos Maid on 2008 03 23 at 07:56 AM • permalinkRe #16: BUAWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Excellent, Y&F! I doubt that the sales clerk learned her lesson, but still a good move.

Yep, he fit right in with the rest of the Moorons.
Except that he wasn’t treated like one of the elite when he’s “pretty darn liberal” and all that crap. Which is the real cause for his rant.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2008 03 23 at 09:32 AM • permalinkI have a buddy who is a director of various vids and commercial pieces in Detroit. He says that anyone who works for Moore says he’s a big cocksucker and that he treats anyone who works for him like shit. Serves them right, actually. What were they thinking, working for a Riefenstahl-like propagandist?

“I doubt that the sales clerk learned her lesson”
Oh I don’t. Just the interruption plus the onset of close managerial supervision can be a day-ruiner. I bet she chilled on the lecturing thing for at least the rest of that day, even if they probably DID get together an hour later to badmouth Y&F.
And even if it didn’t work out that way, you shouldn’t spoil my delusion that it did.Posted by formerly Huck Foley on 2008 03 23 at 10:50 AM • permalinkHmmmmm.
In my experience:
If you willingly work for an a**hole, expect to get shit on.
Posted by memomachine on 2008 03 23 at 11:43 AM • permalinkHmmmm.
““Never meet your heroes,” she muttered afterwards.”
Personally I’ve met plenty of heroes.
The trick is to know whether or not someone **actually is a hero**.
Posted by memomachine on 2008 03 23 at 11:46 AM • permalinkHmmmmm.
“I’ve noticed that myself - and made use of those amenities a few times as well. A curious business model, wouldn’t you say?”
I don’t even bother buying computer books anymore. I just read’em at Borders.
Now usually I wouldn’t do that, and I don’t do this at Barnes & Noble where I buy my books first. But Borders has a long history of trying to burying conservative books so I can’t say I feel at all sorry.
Posted by memomachine on 2008 03 23 at 11:48 AM • permalinkAnd even if it didn’t work out that way, you shouldn’t spoil my delusion that it did.
My humblest apologies for ruining your delusions, fHF! ;-P
Doubtless it was the nadir of her day, and no doubt the subsequent supervisory counseling session was an eye opener. It’s just that anyone clueless enough to sternly lecture a customer giving them money about their purchase has drunk deeply of the leftie Kool Aid indeed.
That’s the sort of “economic model behavior” I’d expect to see in Cuba, or the former Soviet Union.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2008 03 23 at 11:54 AM • permalink#18, 19, 22 and 26 . . . . you know what, apart from thinking how much fun it was to yank a lefty’s chain back, and harder, frankly I couldn’t care more what the salesclerk and her supervisor thought and whether her day was ruined or not. In my capitalist real world, money talks and they lost the sale that eventually pays their salary.
Posted by Young and Free on 2008 03 23 at 06:44 PM • permalinkThe Mo bitches at Borders are in money trouble….
And perhaps somewhere, Jonah Goldberg gets another guilty urge to chuckle….
There you go Y&F, spoiling my delusion like a great big capitalist meanie!
In my little world, that particular aborted sale was the final straw that snapped the business viability of Borders and began their slide into ruination and doom! And here’s you, making like it’s no big deal. Hmf.Posted by formerly Huck Foley on 2008 03 24 at 01:32 AM • permalinkOkay okay okay . . . . it was me. I took Borders down, right after I had my broker short-sell a bunch of their shares.
Mwahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa.

From disgruntled former ex-Michael Moore employee:
This is the same Michael Moore who struck (sorta kinda) hard at the American health industry? Who lavished uninhibited and unlimited love and affection on the Cuban medical system? Really?
Well, I can see why he hearts Castro so much….the dudes have a lot in common. Aristocratic behavior and a desire for slave labor, to name just two.
