Everybody knows it. Sometimes I catch errors. Sometimes not.

Every Barnes and Noble I've been in already had toilet paper in the restrooms.

... ZERO copies? I am guessing his recent fall meant he could not appear? When you release a book like this, you must: Schedule an outrageous attention-getting news story, plant excerpted "bombshell" revelations, and promote... Promote...PROMOTE! Possibly, the Fetterman was not feeling well enough to sell the book.

Hopefully he won't ever publish another book. That would be nice. No more chances to spew his nonsense. Just another thing I'd limit government people from doing: no books while serving, and none for ten years after they leave the job. No speaking engagements, no getting on company boards, or educational boards. They can go home and live off the millions they already got by "serving the people" while raking in money by any means possible. Oh, I'm sorry, it just somehow fell into their pockets. My bad.
