The Pandemonium That Wasn't

Record breaking sales? Not so much. Christmas shoppers must have been buying tech toys and door busters, because they weren't buying books. This was the most anemic "black Friday" ever. We never saw a line form beyond 3 or 4 people, it was beyond freaky. I'm speechless and a bit worried, Wal-Mart has cut their projections in half, yes, the almighty Wal-Mart. There's your trend right there. I'm thinking the week before Christmas should be a good dose of hell, that is if people concede to acquiring more debt.
