"Economy: Wal-Mart expects a "blockbuster" holiday season, but with Democrats in full control of the levers of government in Washington, this might be its last."
They're definitely on to something here. Since the market took a nosedive I've been infected with a "what-the-H___" attitude and have made several purchases that are very out of the ordinary for me. Now this morning I see an upcoming one-day sale at WalMart with some great prices on laptops. I've been wanting to one for my mom so we can keep in touch more and share photos and this just may be the chance.
I've been assuaging my guilt and justifying the purchases by telling myself I'm helping to "spread the wealth". But at least I'm doing it voluntarily. Pretty soon BO will be forcing me to buy computers for someone else's relatives.
