I've heard of the anti-Obama film, 2016, Obama's America, through Mike Gallagher's radio talk show. It is based on Dinesh D'Souza's book, The Roots of Obama's Rage. There has been a curious lack of coverage of it throughout the media. I haven't seen anything about it even in the NY Post, which has a conservative bias. I failed to find any reviews online. I would have expected the majority of the media to blast it as partisan and false, even worse. This morning Gallagher, the Happy Conservative Warrior, mentioned that the Hollywood Reporter claims the documentary is doing well at the box office, despite playing on only 169 screens nationwide. Even New Yorkers, who vote overwhelming Democratic, are filling the one theater where it's playing. By Friday it will be in 1075 theaters. Perhaps the liberal press is waiting for that to begin an all-out counter assault. The film is already the twelfth-most popular political documentary of all time. It was co-directed by D'Souza and John Sullivan.
Jack stopped by the floating book shop today. Somehow we got into a discussion about the news report that authorities found bricks and pipes atop a roof in Tampa less than one mile from where the Republican National Convention is to take place. He thinks it's a set up to tar the movement, which he at least agrees has its bad elements. In fact, he divides OWS into four groups: the Homeless, Anarchists, Socialists, and Capitalists like himself, who decry the Crony Capitalism that exists between politicians and corporations. He vilifies the first two segments as trash. While selling T-shirts in Manhattan, he holds up a pro-Romney, anti-Obama sign. He has been spit at by one guy and excoriated by a black woman who made fun of his rotting teeth. He is unique, his own man, although he's not quite playing with a full deck.
Mrs. Eclectic purchased her usual mix of books today, including two for her daughter. I also sold four large pictorials to an elderly Russian woman. My first customer purchased a novel based on fictional characters inspired by the fictional author on the TV series Castle. It has a picture of Nathan Filion, the show's star, on the back, as if there actually were a successful writer named Richard Castle. I hope the book is as much fun as the series. Thanks, ladies.
