A fair and balanced book fair.
So, my place of employment is having a book fair starting this Sunday. The usual school book fair, but with a "cafe" and other doodads (and books for all ages). While in the process of performing my duties today, I frequently had to walk through the area where the parents were setting it up. I noticed they had several copies of O'Really's latest in the "new releases" section, but no "left-wing" book. Most of the day was spent trying to figure out a tactful way to point out the lack of equal time. Imagine my relief when I discovered they weren't done, and Al Franken's book was later prominently displayed next to O'Really's.

Did I mention the kick-off to the book fair is a *FREE* chili dinner? I love my job. :)

1. It will be interesting to see which sells more copies
I can't imagine Franken won't outsell O'Reilly. I read "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot" and it was hilarious. Also, O'Reilly gave him such great publicity with the FOX News lawsuit. Where is this book fair, anyway? I haven't bought the book yet and I haven't eaten dinner! LOL! Sounds like a great job!:D
