Borders: Viva Che, Down with Bush!
I've written about my exasperation with the Borders book chain before. Now I can extend that griping based on what I saw at the Borders in Fairfield, Connecticut today.
First, the store carries a line of figurines in the "Little Thinkers" series. I realize this is a set and not really a Borders' confection, but still, do the Little Thinkers need to include Einstein, Freud, Jane Austen, W.E.B. DuBois, Marx, Jesus and Shakespeare with . . . Che Guevera? What's his big idea in the world of intellectual discourse? I could see Borders throwing Che in with the others, but it added to the Chesyteria with a Che watch and a bio of him. Why not Milton Friedman or Thomas Jefferson?
So Borders covered the Che crowd downstairs, and then upstairs it had a display to warm the innards of the Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) contingent. It showed an "Out of Office Countdown" calendar for Bush, along with "Countdown to Victory" calendars for Clinton and Obama. Couldn't Borders at least find a "Countdown to Crackdown" calendar for Rudy Giuliani, or an "Impeach Hillary '09" calendar? The display also showed Bushism and similar products -- so predictable, so conventional.
