Such a Deal?

Amazing how the mail box fills up with circulars this time of year. Everyone is having a morning madness sale Friday. This tradition probably started several years ago when people lined up outside Wal-Mart in the wee morning hours to take advantage of the great buys. Other businesses saw this piece of marketing strategy and adopted it. Staples will even open at 5AM! Yep, all that pushing and shoving, rudeness, hair pulling, eye gouging, tire slashing, bitch slapping sure makes me want to get up early and dive into the insanity.

Just go to any retail site and check out their specials. It'd take the whole day to link to them.
