The view from atop Mount Schaedenfreude...

a glance through the front window of my local dollar book store reveals that Tim Russert's mawkish "Big Russ & Me" has been remaindered at 20% off.
It ought to be down to 50% off by New Years.
Tripe like this usually comes from heavy market research from the publishing companies.
That is if you were wondering how Tom Brokaw found time to become a historian of World War II...
I'd love to know what kind of inane polling informed Tim's publisher that the public was panting for a book lionizing Russert's father?
