Black Friday

Black Friday has arrived and our nation full of insufficient funds and over-extended credit are finding a way to consume and drive our fledgling economy.

Or at least kick a few tires.

It's a common misnomer the media feeds us that today is the busiest shopping day of the year. Today is, in fact, historically not even in the top four shopping days of the year.

The biggest rush of retail excess is the last Saturday before Christmas. When the calendar delivers Christmas on a weekend, then the rush is on December 23rd.

That's when I'll be doing my shopping. Along with a slew of other frenzied fathers and husbands.

It's retails Procrastination Day.
