Just got back from lunch and a brisk afternoon walk around the mean streets of SLC. Saw something that gave me a chuckle as I passed the stinky bookstore and thought I’d share.

In the shop’s window, among the antique steel cans of Miller Beer, the Godzilla toy, and an ancient, crumbling Book of Mormon held together with a red ribbon, was a pair of recently published but used hardcovers standing side-by-side. A hand-lettered sign tucked between them made the following offer:

“Ann Coulter’s Treason $7. Living History by Hillary Clinton free with Coulter book.”

Is this someone’s gesture at political balance? Or just an observation about what sells in Utah and what doesn’t?
