13. I've never seen a book by Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris, etc...
displayed at CostCo. They had a whole table of Glenn Beck last time I was there.

3. You seem surprised.
Have you looked at the other stuff Costco sells?

They sell processed and empty foods in bulk. Should we be surprised they support processed and empty ideas?

Yep, Costco, just another American "mom and pop" store.

14. But I shop there in preference to Sam's Club, or its evil twin, Walmart.

5. There's some real stupid crap in that Costco magazine.
I toss it in the garbage each month.

6. Well, it is an AD. I don't blame them for taking money even from the crazies in
these bad economic times.

8. Do you really trust Costco anyway?
I mean, come on: Their city-size stores have huge holes in the ceilings and crashed airplanes stuck in the racking. Any retailer who won't correct such obvious safety hazards, I'm not going in.

17. I'm not bothered - someone had a buttload of unwanted Glenn Beck books to unload
and an ignorant buyer at Costco thought the price was right. I suspect they'll have trouble getting rid of them.

19. Uh, the big red line is larger than our present National Debt.
Over seventy percent of which, by the way, was rung up by THREE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS.

Anyway, so where did they get that figure, out of Rush's cyst? I guess I'm going to write a book, put on mah SS duds, make up as much shit as I want and people will buy it, right?

We're entitled to our own facts, it appears.
