The most annoying thing I have read all day

Here is an irritating article called "Why Booksellers are Going Belly Up," but should be called "Why Californians are Whiny Little Bitches." There is a lot to hate here, the pretension that Berkeley is the intellectual center of the country (DC, Boston, NYC trump that place any day of the week.) Then there are sentences like these:

Telegraph, Telegraph, Telegraph. It means a million things to a million people. Ask any soul who's hung out there within the past four decades and you'll get a different answer.

Ask any soul who has hung out there in the last 15 and you will hear....dirty hippies.

Finally the WORST part is that the author notes that book sales are INCREASING, but says that isn't real, because some bookstores have closed in the Bay Area. People complain about Americans only paying attention to America, but I want to complain about Bay Area people who think the only place that matters is the Bay Area.
