Now that the turkey lethargy has worn off, I thought FReepers would appreciate this column. Lemme know what you think.

As I complete this column, the first reports of actual sales, rather than predictions, have come in. WalMart sold $1 billion all by itself, on Friday. Total sales nationwide on that day were up 4.8% over last year. The announcer you quoted before your words that I captioned, was reading from the DNC talking points.
No matter how good the signs are for a booming economy, including everybody's personal witness of "Black Friday", the RATs and their propaganda arms at ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN, et al, will continue to spout the doom & gloom themes of 'soaring defecits', 'looming inflation', 'jobless recovery', etc.
Thankfully the people standing in those long lines know the truth about our economy.

Great stuff! But, like you, I refuse to make a personal visit to the local StuffMart on that day. If I must go, it will only be during the middle of the day and the middle of the week. But I am probably up to about 85% on-line now.

Henry Ford failed to discover this,... Impressive. From black Friday to the black Model-T.

I refuse to shop early on Black Friday.
Too many geezers out and about looking for cheap LEGOS.

Then with a dose of tryptophan in my system up to the "Sleeping Beauty" level, I watched the usual Detroit Lions game whose outcome was irrelevant, and in which the Lions played "better than they had all season." But not only had I never participated in the "door-busting" deals in the stores the following day, I openly questioned the sanity of all who did.Kudos to you sir. Excellent once again - you have a knack for this. I made that mistake once, Wal-Mart on Friday years ago, when the children were younger, I ventured forth to save a few bucks. It was the most insane situation I had ever been in - the aisles were full of "Conan the Barbarian" types, staking out their prizes, daring any and all to come within striking distance. And that was just the women.
