Black Friday

I couldn't bring myself to do it; there was no way in hell I was gonna go out into that mass of human misery called "Black Friday" and conduct my holiday shopping. I love Christmas, but man do I hate the shopping!!! Tis the season to get your family members everything they've been longing for for the last 12 months...by any means necessary!!! I know, I used to work retail; it's never a pretty sight. Whatever happened to "seasons greetings" or "tis the season to be jolly" or "peace and goodwill to all mankind"??? Seems like within the last several years, that's been replaced by long lines of moody, whiny, pushy people who wouldn't hesitate to push you down to the ground for the last stack of Yu-gi-oh playing cards or the last copy of "Halo 2". Things aren't as bad as they used to be; thanks to online shopping, you can avoid any and all contact w/rude procrastinators who've waited until the last moment to buy that special gift for their loved one and can only see the look on said loved one's face as they cut you off on the highway to get to Best Buy before closing time. But, that doesn't stop these people. They will undoubtedly find someway to make someone in retail miserable just so their loved one's won't be. Never mind the other 364 days out of the year they could've enhanced and enriched the life of a loved one. No, no, no, no. All of that pales in comparison to this one day that carries so much weight that if someone were to fail in their gift giving they must be shunned and marked w/a scarlet "G" for all to see...

White House says it is creating 'very large' dossier on Washington Post journalist and others.

    This is not okay.   For the record, I hate the phrase "This is not okay", but this is NOT okay.  To be fair, I'm certain that he's not the first POTUS to create dossiers on, well, anyone.  But this is an intimidation tactic, plain and simple.  I mean, POTUS is pretty fucking lazy, so there may not be any dossiers.        'Cept, his folks will have to do whatever he tells them to do either because it's their job or because of the allure of power...and maybe out of some sick form of civic duty.        As if gathering info of journalists in order to shut them up is patriotic.        Last I checked, it was the very antithesis of the American way .      November 2nd can't get here soon enough.         This is not a myth, POTUS.
