It said, “Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons … for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.”

Liza’s back! Again!

Liza Minnelli is returning to Broadway for the first time in almost a decade.

Yet another reason NOT to shop at Wal-Mart — you might be killed …

Date November 29, 2008

… or carjacked, or shot (as has happened in Denver several times recently).  At best you could just be trampled in a stampede of savages. My mother says Wal-Mart is where all the crime happens in her little town of Laurel, Mississippi. She won’t go there after dark because of robberies in the parking lot.

What kind of people want Wal-Mart crap so bad they have to stand in an angry mob and crash through the doors while killing someone?  I mean, the stores are downright disgusting:  cheap crap, unfinished ceilings, bad lighting, cheap floors, dirty parking lots and, oh yeah, cheap crap.

Here’s the New York Times article about the incident in New York on Black Friday:

Published: November 29, 2008
