LONDON: Gay Bookstore Vandalized

London's famous Gay's The Word bookstore was struck by vandals over the weekend.

Staff at the Marchmont Street store came to work this morning to find the front window smashed and the shopfront had been pelted with eggs. Assistant manager Uli Lenart told PinkNews.co.uk that witnesses reported seeing a group of youths “rampaging” up and down the street at around 12.30am and throwing eggs at another store. He said the gang, who were on bicycles, left the scene and reappeared ten minutes later with a rock and a bottle, which they threw through the shop’s front window before running off.

It's not clear if the store was singled out as a gay business, but its manager noted that no other business had its windows smashed.

WND's Deal Of The Day

World Net Daily is promoting Scott Lively's completely discredited book, The Pink Swastika, as the site's "deal of the day." Lively's insane book contends that the Nazi Party was founded by and mostly comprised of gay men. You may also recall Lively for hiring a convicted child molester to run his Massachusetts teen outreach center and for his in-person inflaming of murderous anti-gay sentiment in Uganda. And today, the most widely-read Christian "news" site in the world is supporting him. Again.

RELATED: As very few corporations are willing to advertise directly on WND, the site makes most of its revenue by pitching survivalist gear and snake oil health remedies. And from bullshit hate-filled books like Lively's. Glory! Praise His Name!

Borders Books To Liquidate

Months after declaring bankruptcy and with no buyer in sight, Borders Books has requested the court's permission to liquidate the stock at its 399 locations.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York is set to approve the move on Thursday. Liquidation sales could start as soon as Friday. In a statement, Borders President Mike Edwards said the changing book industry and the economy hastened the chain's demise. Borders had been seeking a new white knight bidder after a $215 million bid by private equity firm Najafi Cos. dissolved late last week. Creditors and lenders argued the chain would be worth more if it liquidated immediately.

Jane Fonda: Teabaggers Forced QVC To Cancel My Appearance

According to a post on Jane Fonda's personal blog, wingnuts forced QVC to cancel a planned appearance to hawk her new book, Prime Time.

Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me! None of it is true. NONE OF IT! I love my country. I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us. I do not understand what the far right stands to gain by continuing with these myths. In this case, they denied a lot of people the chance to hear about a book that can help make life better, easier and more fulfilling. I am deeply grateful for all of the support I have been getting since this happened, including from my Vietnam Veterans friends.
