If the retailers and the media didn’t force feed us the message that today is “Black Friday,” would anyone really get up at 4:00 AM to go buy stuff they didn’t need?And why do they call it “Black Friday?” Black folks ain’t behind this mess and sure as hell ain’t reaping the benefits! Too many of us are getting separated from our hard-earned cash in the name of mass (or is it crass) consumerism.
Was it just me or were there fewer news stories about feeding the needy this Thanksgiving? I know we didn’t suddenly end hunger and homelessness. Maybe those stories just aren’t “sexy” any more.
Two reasons to get back to the gym now rather than later: First, it’s not as crowded now as winter sets in and people don’t feel like leaving the house, and second, it will get very crowded after January 1st, when people try to lose their winter weight and set New Year’s resolutions they won’t keep.
This just in: Due to global warming, Hell will not freeze over. Scientists say earth temperatures will never again dip to a level where Satan’s home could possibly turn to an iceberg. People who have been told to wait until Hell freezes over–before getting a raise, going on a date with that person who’s out of their league or some other such longshot–are now advised to wait until pigs fly.
Speaking of long waits and Satan, is it just me or does it seem like the whole world is waiting for George Bush to leave office before we get back to dreaming about a brighter future? Everyone’s life is on hold until then.
Even so, despite what should be a slam dunk, I am completely convinced the Democrats are fully capable of handing the election to the GOP. The presidential candidates have all forgotten the lessons taught us by the late Ron Brown. Brown was the DNC Chairman who engineered Bill Clinton’s victory by getting Dems to stop beating each other up during the primary. Vicious infighting in the past often left the party so fractured the nominees couldn’t build enough support and the nasty campaigning gave Republican candidates plenty of ammunition to use against them during the general election. I can see the same scenario playing out.
Finally, how come he’s still touring and not behind bars? I guess violating a minor isn’t as important as a music career.
