Black and Blue Friday

I plan to not leave my place today. You would think that after a brutal economic year (well, later part of the year) some people would not be enticed by prices ending in .99. 

 I'm sure you all heard about the 34 year old Walmart employee in a suburban NY store who got trampled to death this morning due to the early AM crowds looking for marked down, imported crap from China.   So sad.  Someone wrote me back, "How could someone actually be trampled to death?" Well, with that said, I give you a video from last year's Black Friday @ a Walmart.  Need I say more?  

God Bless America.

Happy Thanksgiving from Sarah Palin

How can this even happen?? The producer and/or camera person must have been a Democrat.  And the jokes go on...

A letter from Sarah Palin!





Wow - What a lovely surprise! I picked up my mail the other day and found a letter from America's most popular Governor (Arnold step aside!) 

 A letter from Sarah Palin!  How appropriate on election day...

Yes, of course, it was your regular run of the mill letter looking for money, but I was still tickled to think that somehow, I ended up on this list.  I read the letter which stressed how the "Republicans reject the Democrats' fearful and pessimistic mentality." And strongly noted that when they are able to get their "message past the liberal mainstream media filter" and directly to voters, that the vast majority of American people agree with their "confident, optimistic view of principled, conservative government and opportunity for all."

Confident? Oh yes... Optimistic and opportunity FOR ALL? Please... 

Too bad they didn't allow Sarah to go 'rogue' and write her own letter. This entry would prove to be much more interesting and humorous.  But then again, there is nothing humorous about this woman in any real position of power... If so, get ready to move backwards.

Please everyone get out and vote today!!  

A friend of mine had this to say:


"I voted early for Obama. I think he's our chance. He'll attract the best and the brightest again. And since one man can't do it, and it can't be done in a year, or a decade, smart people with real human values are what we need. I'm even hopeful that he might usher in an era which will laugh at the Art and Cinema worlds as we know them, and encourage some real work, from the heart, from the interior, from the energy centers. We've been operating from the head too long. Time to delve deeper.

If you think McCain might have something, think about Sarah Palin. It takes a lot of cynicism to imagine that we would fall for her. And he has plenty of that, under an affable, but awkward and repressed exterior.

I urge you to vote for Obama. There may be a better candidate, but he's not running. This is the real world. Let's live in it."

Well said - now get out and vote!


Free coffee if you vote...


Well, I guess whatever it takes it get you in there I guess... 


If you vote, Starbucks buys your coffee

On November 4, 2008, Starbucks will give voters a free tall brewed coffee at participating U.S. stores. 

After voting, voters must go to a Starbucks store, where they’ll be given a tall (12 oz) cup of brewed coffee at no charge (limit one per customer).  Just tell them you voted...

This is an extension of Starbucks commitment to community through Starbucks™ Shared Planet™. It lets us immediately support customers who care about the same things we do and who want to make a difference.

Enjoy!
