Thursday was Thanksgiving, yesterday was Black Friday, so what is today?  Hangover Saturday?  I don’t mean from drinking, but from all the shopping done.  Sounds good to me. 

I’m sure you’ve all heard the awful news about the crowds by now, which seems to get worse each year.  Sean P has a great post about his feelings, which pretty much mirrors mine on the Black Friday madness.  There is nothing out there to lose your life for.   The stores are just as responsible as the people are.  (Yes Virginia there are incidents where the store has nothing to do with the events, don’t blow a casket.)  Christmas is the time to celebrate Christ’s birth, not the latest Wii game.

Would somebody please explain to me just where  the Office of the President-Elect is?  I don’t recall Bush or Clinton having one.  I also don’t remember either of them giving weekly radio addresses?  Can there be more arrogance in one person than Barry O?  BTW, he’s Senator Obama.  That is his official title until January.  These people calling him President Elect Obama make me want to vomit!   Oh and don’t give me this crap about the economic situation calls for it, blah blah blah.  George W Bush is still the President of the United States – no matter what some people want or believe – so get over it and stop trying to shove your empty suit on me any sooner than is necessary.

While searching for references in my above paragraphs, I ran into something that just rubs me the wrong way.   Long Post Titles that are also the post slugs.  According to ProBlogger post titles shouldn’t be too long as “This is good for readers but also search engines (they will only show 65 or so characters so if you go too long your full title doesn’t appear in search results).“  Now yes, his blog post slug is long, but come on people, if the post title is three paragraphs long, can you shorten up the slug a bit?  Just one of those things. 

Now this is just beyond wrong and if someone isn’t brought to task for it, the chief needs to resign.

Raise your hand if you watched Rosie’s new variety show the other night.  (looks around).  Me either.  Sometimes I wonder if Rosie isn’t Chris Matthews in drag.

Did you go shopping on Black Friday in the stores, or did you do like me and stay safely at home in front of the computer?  See any rude people?  Tell us about it in comments.

 That’s all folks.  Have a great weekend.
