Sometimes the Punchlines Write Themselves

Ann Althouse blames the lack of bookstore patronage on Barack Obama.

Despite shrines to Obama, the bookstore was nearly deserted

Wisconsin residents are unemployed and don't have money to buy books. In December, 25,000 have lost jobs. The unemployment rating is the highest since 1986. In Althouse's mind, the lack of shoppers at Borders is somehow Obama's fault.
