Apparently I forgot to throw down this photo before Jesus' birthday passed, but it's better late than never, right? I mean, I don't think the Christ child was actually even born on December 25th - didn't the New Testament's calendar scheduler eff it up because he thought a winter birthday sounded cozy? Or something?
This picture was taken at Kramerbooks & Afterwords, the ballerest bookstore in existence. Sort of. Anyway, I like it a lot, & so did Monica Lewinsky, who purchased "Vox," a book about phone sex, here. Ken Starr subpoened those purchase records, so this place is basically legend, in addition to being all-around awesome & serving really stellar butternut squash ravioli at its restaurant.
Where else would you see such a sign but in the nation's freedom-lovin' capital?
And can someone tell me why Charles Shulz's Peanuts book fits into the detainee category?Am I missing a major chunk of historical info?

Okay. My first reaction to this post was "why the eff is there a Peanuts book with all of those other books," and I was busy freaking out about it (but also busy fixing my late dinner), and planning on saying something about it in a comment...and then I scrolled down to the rest of your entry. We definitely have the same sense of humor, huh?
