Surprise, surprise. I wonder what Barnes and Noble's, Amazon's, and HarperCollins's fourth quarter earnings will look like.
Thanks for sharing this news, Tommy.
Whoohoo Sarah!
Does anyone know when the next update on sales numbers come out?
Oh and BTW Tommy, not all of the televised NBA games today were horrible. :)
Heh heh
Roy is awesome. I really like that Bayless kid. He didn't have a good game but he's certainly the future backcourt mate with Roy.
<3 B-Roy
Again this probably doesn't count the Wal mart or Sam Club type sales right? So the figure is probably much larger!
M.,
I think the NY Times list does include Wal-Mart and Sam's Club from the description at the bottom of the link.
Nielsen bookscan is the one that doesn't include Wal-Mart or Sam's Club in its calculations.
Yep, Roy is special. And Bayless is a serious dynamo. It's just to bad it took half of the team being injured, and almost all of the bigs, before he got his deserved minutes. All things considered, the Blazers are playing really well right now - with so much heart. Pretty proud of em over their last 4 games!
Oh my goodness... the photos are up of my visit with Governor Palin. Totally feel like a giggling school girl now.
I'm am feeling giggly too. My pics are not up yet so I'm getting antsy. I hope everyone had a very joyous Christmas! Enjoy the tulips Sarah, my hero!
2012...soon.
good news for tommy report.
We held a vote, which came out 42 to 41, hoping that you had a nice Christmas. The bad news is that there will be a recount.
NYT
A shrine to Sarah.
Michelle costs Americans jobs.
Did I say NYT? Yes.

"<span>Mrs. Obama, though, has successfully separated the personal from the political. Indeed, the only thing more surprising than the storm over Ms. Palin’s “Pretty Woman” makeover is that almost no one has raised an eyebrow over Mrs. Obama’s wearing of non-American labels, which include Nina Ricci and Junya Watanabe, and some of the most expensive at that.</span>
<span>
Maybe the politicos don’t know a Junya from a Juicy, though you can bet that Mrs. Obama and Desirée Rogers, the White House social secretary, do. And maybe the world has gone flat, largely paving over the distinctions, geographical as well as moral and ethical, about where clothing is made. But with garment factories in New York closing on a steady basis, with people losing their jobs in retail and fashion, it’s a hard distinction to sell this year."

"Lots of working women who spend their own money for their clothes would identify with that. But I’ve been thinking about those women, and it seems to me that Sarah Palin, and not Mrs. Obama, is closer to how most of them dress. (Obviously this is not a discussion about Ms. Palin’s political views or intellectual gifts, so stay out of my fashion story.)
I like the way she dresses. The straight skirt and white blouse, the trim jacket with an open neck and three-quarter sleeves — the look is clean, tailored and energetic. It’s businesslike without being boring, smart without being insider. You don’t need to read a fashion magazine to understand it. That was how Ms. Palin dressed on her book tour. And it’s the way a lot women would like to dress, and probably do, when they don’t have time or many choices and think that accessories always wind up looking prissy.
Mrs. Obama’s choices are all insider, apart from her shorts and those strategically worn plebe numbers from Target and Talbots. If she got any more insider, she’d be backing down a runway. She wears Rodarte, Jason Wu, Sophie Theallet,Narciso Rodriguez, Thakoon, Isabel Toledo and Rick Owens, labels that in terms of creativity and price are at the highest level of fashion. Go much higher and you hit couture."
-
"Palin already looked great — a babe in jeans, a pro in a suit."
-
"Fashion is message. Do I look rich? Do I look available? Do I look like I get it?
Fashion is also context. And in the year since the industry placed its absurdly bright hopes on Mrs. Obama and her wardrobe, much has changed and dimmed. Is this how a modern, educated, working woman wants to be viewed in her first historic year — as a maven, an icon? Who’s Barbie now?"
Yes, the NYT.

See this. Especially #1.

Yikes.
When the NYT tells Michelle to dress like Sarah, Change Is Coming.
We may hear the screams from Hawaii.
"<span>At least the fashion world had Michelle Obama and Sarah Palin to help avoid the impression that, you know, nobody cares about clothes and big dangly earrings. It’s hard to see now why so many columnists got their tights in a twist over Ms. Palin’s spending $75,000 of perfectly good Republican money at Neiman Marcus during the 2008 Republican convention. Have you seen Neiman’s numbers lately? After 18 straight months of declines, it wouldn’t be surprising to find a little shrine erected in Ms. Palin’s honor."</span>
If the NYT tells Obama to drop golf and take up snowmachining our heads will explode.
HAHAHA!
Michelle Obama is an aesthetic nightmare. She is a fashion role model only for those individuals who seek to terrorize the 'hood into submission just by walking around.
5 weeks at #1 at the NYT ties with Hillary Clinton's Living History which was also #1 for 5 weeks. Bill Clinton's My Life or was it My Lie was #1 for 6 weeks. I hope GR beats My Lie by at least a week or two. I hope we get some updated sales figures, it must be close to 2 million or more by now.
Here's a good story:

An interesting observation:
Bill Clinton's book is My Lie.
Hillary Clinton's book is Lying History.
See the common thread between the Clintons?
The veracity-challenged non-couple.
The swine at my Border's had the Guinness 2010 book where Sarah's was supposed to be. Count it as a small victory for Sarah's cause that the libs are trying to suppress her book by any means necessary.
Something must be be done about the comments box format on C4P.
There is no "back" button if you click a link. I have to close the link and C4P and reopen C4P and come back to where I was before.
Why doesn't the comments software allow this? To come back to the exact same position where the original link was.
Press "backspace" to get back to the comments page.
To open the link in a new window, hold down "shift" as you click on the link.
But she didn't spend the money. She didn't go shopping. Can't these people get simple facts straight?
And elsewhere he's still implying she's a dope. Good grief, watch her, read her writings. She is constantly aware, informed, always checking the Blackberry - no doubt taking care of business we don't yet know about - on vacation, at book signings. She is still a working executive even though she has no political title (yet).
If someone already posted this link, sorry about that.
Top Ten Tweets of 2009 - http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1209/30933.html
Sarah Palin*
Sarah Palin’s Aug. 7 statement that her Down syndrome baby could have to stand before an Obama death panel set off an intense firestorm of controversy. Some screamed that Palin was wildly distorting the facts. Others shouted that they wanted Palin to run for president. Either way, the volume was up, and the person people were talking about was Palin. Who, incidentally, had a book to sell.
Here’s the meat of Palin’s post on Facebook: “The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care.”
The controversy didn’t scare Palin away from the topic. Palin returned to the death panel question in a tweet on Dec. 22, writing of the recently passed Senate health care bill: “merged bill may b unrecognizable from what assumed was a done deal:R death panels back in?what's punishment 4not purchasing mandated HC?”
*OK, so it was a Facebook posting and not technically a tweet. But it was a short Internet missive heard round the world, and it made news.
I think she looks like a downtown transvestite myself.
During the campaign, I thought she looked pretty militant. You know, aggressive. It seems to me they've really softened her up. With the new twist hair do and much more chic, feminine clothing. She personally looks more attractive now, I my opinion. It's like she's channeling Laura Bush.
You know, I really don't care what Michelle obama looks like. Elanor Roosevelt was pretty homey and she was probably one of the best first ladies ever. And I'd lots rather have Hillary in the White House right now than Michelle, and she's no beauty either.
Gov. Palin being attractive is just a plus on the front end, in my opinion. Gets her the camera exposure that she might not get if she weren't as attractive. What people care about in the end is performance. Look at Obama. Is anybody talking about his looks now?

Sarah, the NYT sets up Obama for you again.

"Experts say risk-averse investors are effectively financing a second bailout of financial institutions, many of which have also raised fees and interest rates on credit cards.
“What the average citizen doesn’t explicitly understand is that a significant part of the government’s plan to repair the financial system and the economy is to pay savers nothing and allow damaged financial institutions to earn a nice, guaranteed spread,”..."
"Mr. Gross said he read his monthly portfolio statement twice because he could not believe that the line “Yield on cash” was 0.01 percent. At that rate, he said, it would take him 6,932 years to double his money.
"Many think the Federal Reserve is fueling a stock market bubble by keeping rates so low that investors decide to bet on stocks instead. ...
[But, Sarah, beware of this Articles incorrect statement about the reason for Medicare Part B increases, and the dangerous idea of borrowing cash and calling it "income." Don't rely on NYT "fact checkers" or "financial advisors." ]

I doubt that taxpayers pay for the outfits.
Time is reporting that Obama didn't go to Christmas church services and has only been to church 3 times in the last year.
The meme to try to turn Michelle into Jackie Onassis or even Sherri Palmer, does reach ridiculous levels. Do not doubt that she has policy input in this administration,
Michelle Obama isn't an attractive woman. She needs all the help she can get with the professional makeup and hair-stylists. If the lamestream media repeats it over and over again that she is an attractive woman the people will start to believe it. The woman hasn't done anything for the last year but if the lamestream media repeats it over and over again that she is the greatest first lady ever the folks will start to believe it. So give the woman a break she needs all the help she can get. Just like her failing husband needs all the help he can get from the deceitful lamestream media.
We all know what happened to Sherri Palmer ... he he.
The man only has one church that he cares to attend. I don't know why he doesn't attend the "God Damn America Church" that is rooted in his soul.

I didn't mean it that way, RD, but that is the meme they are going for.
Thanks for the tips.
That doesn't surprise me. I went to get the Michelle Malkin Book "Culture of Corruption" and could not find it where they display the recent books. When I asked they told me that it was not there because they have had it for weeks. It had come out three weeks before and books that had been out longer were displayed in the recent books area.
Jean A, I gotta say that you are correct. All the cool "names in fashion" are doing this lady a great disservice. She looked a lot better in a sun dress that she bought at Target than anything I have seen her wear. She spends a LOT of money on clothes, yet they do not do much for her.
The inauguration clothes were just plain inappropriate. The dress and coat she wore looked like they came from Scarlet O'Hara's parlor cushions. The ball gown had an inappropriate lingerie look to it. I can't imagine what it will look like in the Smithsonian up against all the other First Lady gowns. I don't want to appear catty about all of this. It just seems like a lot of money has been spent and it just hasn't done much for her image. It's just wasted money which is the meme of her husband's administration.
Then there is Sarah. She looks good in anything. Yet she dresses as a professional. Jackets and skirts. Pretty difficult to mess up anything like that. Besides the clothes aren't supposed to be what you notice about Sarah. There is substance to Sarah. Flashy clothes don't need to be the story. Sarah's ideas are what is important and Sarah has them.
Michelle Obama's appearance became an issue only because the NYTimes, the All-Obama cheer squad, made it an issue. When the NYPravda heaped buckets-full of compliments and gushed about how stylish, chic, and ravishing Michelle is, then it is incumbent on us that are not yet brainwashed to restore some balance to the discussion. Pointing out that she is ugly as sin and has the demeanor of a rampaging psychopath helps nudge the discussion back towards reality.
