Black Friday Blues
Thanksgiving is over.
As a way to ensure that people get a little exercise after the overstuffed meal on Thursday, God invented "Black Friday," so shoppers could run from store to store, looking for Christmas bargains. According to the NYTimes, Retail Desperation on Display in Early Hours:
Most discount chains, like Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City, Target, Toys R Us and Sears, opened at 5 a.m., with department stores such as Macy’s waiting until 6 a.m. and Saks Fifth Avenue holding off until 7 a.m.Yet, not everyone is observing the rituals of Black Friday.
As Don Davis of The Satirical Political Report observes, GOP CANDIDATES REFUSE TO CAMPAIGN ON ‘BLACK FRIDAY’.
Can it be true? Isn't that un-American?
No. As Davis explains:
“IN THE GREAT TRADITION OF OUR PARTY’S SOUTHERN STRATEGY, WE’RE WAITING FOR THE ‘WHITE SALE’ IN JANUARY.”
