Training course:  Maximizing your mattress

In the current economy, sales of mattresses have come to a total standstill, but your old mattress has never been more useful.  Now that you have free time during the day, you can maximize their value.  They offer more security and better returns than putting your money into Citigroup accounts or stocks.  They're the ultimate tool for promoting health and wellness, when you no longer have late nights at the office.  And they're good for a cheap date.  So join us as we explore the value of the mattress.  NOTE:  Field trips to visit and view class members' mattresses may be available upon request.

CNN and The Washington Post both ran headlines stating that President Elect Obama is not Black.  Duh!  He's African-American.  When did it become more politically correct to say black?  No one who's Black is black.  They're brown, chocolate, mocha, or golden brown, but they're not really black. 

The next President's father came from Kenya.  That makes Obama' more African-American than Jessie Jackson. 

Maybe The Washington Post should post an online reader poll:  Do you think Obama is: (1) a honky, or (2) a negroid?

That's the day after Thanksgiving when retail stores start to make their profit for the year, going from being in the red to being in the black.  Now it's Red Friday.  Seeing Red - two men shot each other in line.  Drawing Red Blood - a WalMart store clerk was trampled to death on Long Island.  Staying in the Red - stores cut prices so low that they may not even stay in business.  

The meltdown of the housing market did one thing I really appreciate, since I work from home.  I no longer get three calls a day to refinance my house.  But now I get 6 calls a day to help with my credit card interest rates.
