What Took So Long?...

"Victim's kin file suit in Wal-Mart stampede death"

I was beginning to think that the bloodsucking vampire lawyers were all safely sleeping in their dirt filled coffins in the basements of their tree lined McMansion subdivisions before I read this one.

Thank God opportunity strikes! And at Wal-Mart no less.

Well, I'm actually not surprised that they were going to sue but I am surprised it took so long for them to file the lawsuit. 3 business days! I mean Christmas is fast approaching and you'd think they'd want that Wal-Mart money AT LEAST before the end of this week to get that Wii game system or new flat screen LCD TV. Because you know, they'll be all sold out before the 25th...

I don't get why they are suing the police department though. It's not like it's their job to "police" the doorways of every retail store giving away free toasters or kitty litter with every $100.00 in purchases. You'd think the managers of said stores would somehow herd the crowd in some form BEFORE the doors are opened, but, alas this happens every year.

Next year I'm taking bets on which store will have the first casualty. I'm placing mine on Fashion Bug, the store for "Rubenesque" or zoftig women...

Is Dress Barn also a store for ladies with panniculus? It sounds like it should be.

I can't believe this stampede. Terrible. Did you hear about the 2 guys who shot each other at a Toys R Us? Black Friday sucks.

You guys have it all backwards. You have a holiday in which you're supposed to be thankful for what you've got, and you somehow wound up with a holiday in which its acceptable instead to storm out and get more.

In Canada we get tons of gifts for Christmas--usually items we don't really need or sometimes even want. Then the very next day we get Boxing Day, when we pack up some of that free Chistmas crap and take it back (presumably to find out how cheap our relations really are), or take advantage of "year's best" sales.

--Being thankful for what we have all the while.
