My favorite thing to do on my day off is browse through my local bookstore.
Over the years I've SPENT a lot of money there. Just as I entered Barnes
and Noble today I was slapped in the face by a lifesize display of AC's
latest book, 'Goddess'. Here she is on the cover staring seductively out at all her
adoring public, which must be all horny old men. She looks like she's posing
for Penthouse or Playboy magazine, so that should tell you right there the woman
does not have anything of any substance to say. Are her publishers selling sex or
politics? I gather from the cross she's boldly wearing that she is religious.
Hmmm? Wonder if she wears that lowcut little black dress topped off with the
cross in her bare cleavage to church on Sundays? Wonder how many family values
Republicans peruse the book when they're shopping at B&N with their children?
I look for B&N to start displaying the National Enquirer or The Globe or some of
those other trashy supermarket tabloids right up front. It will be a very long
time before I make another purchase there, if ever.
