Meaningless Mini-Activism at the Library
So I'm at the library yesterday, trying not to come home with another armful of books that will bring the rest of my life to a standstill while I read... And I notice, someone has gone through and placed a bunch of anti-liberal and Dem-bashing titles in prominent positions all throughout the shelves. Grrr! I surreptitiously re-shelved them. I didn't pay too much attention to putting them back in the correct order.... ;)

and Dick Morris's Hillary book

I was angry at the time
I just found James carville's, David Brock's and some other liberal books turned around

3. I found a bunch of liberal books in the political section
turned around so you couldn't see the titles

5. I find that frequently at CostCo
I flip 'em back. And put 'em on top of the Coulter/Hannity stuff.

6. Some of those types of books may have wound up
on top of the shelves in my local library. Completely on top of the seven-foot-high shelves where it is difficult to spot them at all.

I wonder how that happened?

7. I turn around Time magazine or any other mag that has * on
the front so I don't get sick looking at it.

8. I routinely
de-alphabetize the books in the children sections of bookstores because children are our future, and that can't be a good thing so anything I can do to slow them up...

Stolen from Scott Adams of Dilbert fame.
