They really do need a mini-Baraq to round out the family.

What does he do the rest of the time? Pay with cash or let the Secret service pick up the tab and bill it to us?

Well, Bayou Trilogy is $15.61 at Barnes and Noble, and $11.55 at Amazon, so, that was half the bill right there.
This guy thought $32.00 was too much for that plus four or five more books at an Independent Bookseller’s Shop?
