Regarding an event whose time surely has not come, Random House has announced that

[f]ormer President George W. Bush’s memoir, Decision Points, will be released ... on Nov. 9. Mr. Bush will write about political and personal challenges and discuss his handling of events including the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina, as well as his embracing of his faith amid his effort to quit drinking.

... The book will be released in hardcover and in audio and e-book formats. Mr. Bush will also go on a national tour for the book.

It's that last phrase that's jumping out at me: It's impossible to imagine the logistics of such a tour—metal detectors and heavily armed Secret Service men in a Barnes & Noble near you. The author, after all, isn't exactly Harlan Coben.

UPDATE — Make them stop!!!
