I offset your boycott by purchasing a member's card yesterday. Had nothing to do with anything other than not being able to use my Books A Million card here.

PLEASE - PLEASE - before you stop going there, buy one more book. I would suggest "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. But you may not like it so.... never mind.

like in the Sopranos

Love that book. I was in Barnes and Noble after Ann Coulter spoke as I do not like crowds all that much. It seemed rather quiet after whatever storm took place there.

I get coupons to use at various places-- including Barnes and Noble if I chose it-- when donating blood at the Villages OneBlood donation center. So, I was checking out the new books, DVDs, and CDs. https://www.oneblood.org/rewards/


Ann Coulter is a writer/pundit/entertainer I read once in a while but from books of hers at local libraries. She is not a writer whose volumes I would return to often nor share with other family members. To each his own though.

I just hope no one takes offense from Lee Child's Jack Reacher books. I do get those at Barnes & Noble. More my kind of entertainment.

Or like I used it in post 10.

They are both--Ann Coulter and Barnes & Noble--out to make money. Anybody who doesn't realize that could be offended by them. Anyone who does realize that can ignore them or not.

Here's the problem, f---ing Jew has historically been a derogatory reference with no qualifiers. Just a blatant condemnation statement. Ann Couter's tweet resonated that sentiment, because it stood by itself. Subsequent tweets attempted to clarify but the damage was done.

Thanks for the daily dose of hilarity! When you come back down to earth, you may want to check out a different news source. Pundifact found Fox to be truthful only 18% of the time, compared with 60% for CNN and 31% for MSNBC. But I'm sure you will dismiss these facts as liberal media lies, because if its not okayed by Fox then it is left wing propaganda. Me thinks the right wing media does a pretty good job of manipulating their sheep.
