What is with you people? No, seriously, What Is With You People?
What bargain can possibly be so important that it is worth trampling a Wal-Mart employee to death?
Was it the Samsung 50″ Plasma HDTV? Maybe a Bissel Vaccum for $28? How about the Samsung 10.2 megapixel digital camera for $69? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the $9 DVDs. It’s even more sad and absurd if it was over the DVDs.
Seriously? A human being died because of stupid cheap holiday bargains. Was it worth it? Do you actually like traffic and potentially dangerous crowds? Can none of you figure out Amazon.com?

In closing: a couple items on the Citi bailout (remember, CitiGroup would not exist without Phil Gramm actually working to repeal Depression-era banking reforms); a nice group of items on exactly how much taxpayer money is being spent on bailouts, and what your personal share would be (I can think of better ways to spend it); Lies Conservatives Tell About Liberals; the economy sucks even worse if you are a woman; scientists can now at least predict how fast the ice sheets will melt; and ’tis the season to be charitable. Please remember Child’s Play this season. They help put toys and games in the hands of children in hospitals.
