I’m sorry, but there’s just no reason for book stores anymore; we have TV now.
I disagree. If it weren’t for bookstores where would people who majored in Womyn’s Studies or Postmodernism find a job? There’s only so many adjunct positions available.

What, exactly, is there to watch on television now? Baseball makes me turn off the television to sleep, and I’m not a European who watches soccer like you.
“So default is armageddon, but actually having to cut spending is way way worse according to Obama?”
Well, yeah. Defaulting will give him a chance to nationalize the banks while cutting spending will make enemies of people he’s bought off with the stimulus and 1.5 T in increased budget. Oh, and all the old people will hate him for cutting medicare. He hates to be hated and loves to be loved.
I am having trouble telling random thoughts from Nuke on the news.
Our local Barnes & Noble bookstore is basicly a Starbucks with an enormous reading section.
And for $125 you can buy a device that makes it unnecessary to ever buy anything in the store again. (Other than FudgeyWudgey cupcakes and coffee drinks with fake Italian names)
I once had over a thousand pounds of books that I gave away. Considering that the average American house weighs 28,000 lbs., that was 1/28th of a house I was carrying around when I moved.
Oh, and there’s no reason for TV anymore; we have the Internet.
I like Book Stores. I just prefer mine without gobs of lesbians who have pierced every possible part of their face and who wear “save the whales” T-Shirts, which is a shame because they cover their Yakuza like tats…
I now have an IPAD and a Kindle to avoid Borders…and now they are going out of business…so WTF? I bought these for nothing? Or, possibly my purchase of was the absolute last straw which forced them out of business. So I am the one who pushed them over the edge! Muwhahahahahahahah!
@DamnCat: A coffee spewer, for sure. But the question is, what books would a DamnCat buy? I would think that cats keep themselves busy watching cat videos between their many pee trips to the garden.

Because Obama thinks he can spend your money better than you ca
n, and will roll up into a small ball and cry if we cut off his spending addiction. And he does not want us to see him rolled up in a ball and crying.

Would it be overstating the obvious if I pointed out that Obama is a horse’s ass?

You’re taking away my livelihood! Buy books! Buy buy buy! Buy from IMAO’s advertisers! Or just send me the money directly. That would work.
Good point, HP5K – how am I gonna order books from Amazon if I don’t get free WiFi from the bookstore?
Borders is closing? The Kindle rulez!!11!
