Sunday Special: News The This Time, Doesn't Rhyme

The Supreme Court will decide the fate of Obama’s Health Plan.
     There seems to be some question about letting too many people have access    to a doctor’s office.

Toys R Us and Walmart will open for Black Friday Christmas shopping at 9 0’clock Thanksgiving night.
     They’ll follow that immediately with their New Years Eve White Sale.

Target now calls its customers “guests”.
     So they’re inviting them all to a bring-your-own-money party on Thanksgiving night.

One marketing manager says starting Black Friday so early takes away sacred time employees need to spend with their families.
     But the store management feels the early start adds time for the customer to spend ON their families.
Some families have been camped outside Best Buys all week to be first in line Thursday night.
     Their Thanksgiving dinner will be catered by Turkey’s R Us.

Other shoppers found ways to profit from the campers, though.
     They caught one guy scalping TV sets.

One marketing consultant predicts a record number of people will be shopping during the earlier hours.
     So some people will be watching their favorite football games on the discounted TV sets they're buying.


The Occupy Wall Street group protesting in Philadelphia is in trouble with the mayor because of litter. He’s especially upset over the public urination and defecation.
     Michael Nutter is quoted as saying: “I’ve had enough of this shit.”
