Has anyone been to a Border Books this weekend? I visited two stores and could not find a copy of this week's Time OR Newsweek (both with W's victory as a cover story)..And of course there wasn't a copy of National Review or Weekly Standard to be found. Maybe they were sold out, but these periodicals always get put out on Friday and I was there first thing Saturday morning.
I say this because I remember some controversy regarding their carrying more of the liberally bent politcal books..
Anyone notice the same thing in your area?
There isn't a Border's book store in my area, but I did read an article in National Review about some of the dirty tricks that Borders employees have pulled (in fact, I posted something about it a while back).

As for trying to find a copy of National Review, The Weekly Standard....good luck. Although I subscribe to both (ok.... so I like to read!), I sometimes check just to see if a bookstore carries it. Now, if I wanted to check out the latest issue of "Leather Lover's Weekly", now THAT'S different!
There is a Barnes & Noble in my town, and I haven't noticed any "dirty tricks" .... of course, I feel like I'm in enemy territory because of well..... dare I say it?.... all the icky liberals! Let's face it, what do you make of someone whose hair color reminds you of a roll of Life Savers, is wearing a Che Quevera T-shirt, sipping on a Chai Mochachino Latte and is reading "Bringing Out your Inner Lesbian"?
Whenever I go to the current events section, if someone else is there, they're always looking at "Stupid White Men", "The Bush Haters Guide to the Universe", "Between Iraq and a Hard Place" or other such nonsense. If I check out Coulter, Hannity or Schlafly and I sometimes get "the look". When that happens, I show them a note from my mother that says it's OK for me to be reading such materials!
Like the late great Rodney Dangerfield always said "It ain't easy being me! (especially in a bookstore!)"
