Cyber Monday Ads

The day after Thanksgiving is the number 1 selling day there is for the Christmas Holidays. Everyone heads to the stores as early as 5am to be in line when the doors open at 6am. If you've been there then you know what I'm talking about. Some people make it a yearly ritual, to shop the day after Thanksgiving. To the stores, this day is considered to be Black Friday and just exactly why they call it that I'm not sure. Each year the website iblackfriday.com develops cyber monday ads for many different stores, in order to draw a precised business. I would suppose it's because of the storm of customers they experience, and the onslaught of bad manners, exhibited by them. They produce ads for (ie. bestbuy deals, circuit city ad, officemax specials, etc.) and others according to the sales they will be offering. These are just a few of the name brand stores we are accustomed to shopping at. Black Friday values are adjusted to the stores conveniences and prices. I tried it one year and almost got run down by a little old white haired lady, with her wheel chair. That was a crime going to happen, and I made sure to get out of her way. I made a vow to myself, to never do that again. I know that I'm only one of a few, who decided to stay home in my cozy bed, while others are getting trampled. I've watched several different newscasts showing the objects customers, managed to get to first and they told of the savings they had made, by not waiting to shop later. Shopping later has it's downfall, but at least you don't get beat up or talked bad to. Black Friday shoppers, will be able to go to the website and see all the different ads listed. Then they can decide which store to shop for what item.

Getting Worse

A trader works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, ...
Mounting concern that the global economy is hurtling toward recession, diminishing investors' appetite for risk and sending world markets lower. Poor earnings Wednesday from major corporations revived worries of a global recession and showed the depth of the financial crisis the Bush administration is trying to tackle. Investors again shifted their focus away from improving credit markets and fixated on worrisome corporate earnings that are raising fears of a deep and painful recession.

Some Of The Senators..........

PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID:"'Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damages morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, quickly tried and hanged!!!" I don't much care where you come from. What your religion is. Whether you're black, white, or some other color...male or female.....Democrat, Republican or Independent.......But I do care when you are a United States Senator representing Citizens of America...and Vote against English as the official language of the United States. Your vote reflects Betrayal. Political Surrender.. Violates Your Pledge of Allegiance. Dishonors historical principle. Rejects Patriotism. Borders on traitorous action and , in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator...impeachment... Recall........Or other appropriate action is warranted, or worse; If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a backlash so stunning it will literally "knock you out of your socks"......... And preferably totally out of the United States Senate Senators: Your vote against an amendment to the immigration Bill 1348....to make English America's official language is astounding. The entire immigration bill is a farce... Your action only confirms this really isn't about America ... it is about self-serving politics......despicable at best.

Obama's Own Words

Below are a few lines from Obama's books; In his words! From Dreams of My Father: I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites. From Dreams of My Father : I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race. From Dreams of My Father: There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And Black. From Dreams of My Father: It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names. From Dreams of My Father: I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela. And FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!! From Audacity of Hope: I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction. We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!! I don't care whether your a Democrat or a Conservative. We CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President. PLEASE help spread the word.

He's Such A Spoiled Brat.........

We have this tabby cat, that we got when he was a small kitten. This boy grew into a giant cat. At first we thought it was a female, but four months later, he finally started to blossom. The name we had given him, didn't fit any more so he adjusted it to fit a male cat. Since then he's become a big part of our lives and demands, his needs very strongly. Aside from being lazy, he is also spoiled. He jumps up into your lap and gets very agitated if you make him get down. If he gets any larger, he will be able to fight.........maybe. Right now, he can't fight his way out of a paper sack.........

What Do You Think?

Did you watch the debate last night? If you did then you can see what's going on and it's not good. I can truthfully say, that I think our country is in for a "big mess". We have enough problems on our plates and now there's going to be more. What were we thinking electing these two? It's going to be a bumpy road the next 4 years and God forbid we re-elect one of these the next term. America..........we are in trouble!
