The "No Wal-Mart" christmas
After watching the PBS special this week, our family had a discussion about big chain stores and all of their products being imported from China. We decided that since we'd prefer American made goods, we'd boycott the big chain stores that only stock chineese made crap and buy only American this year.

Whatever happened to the "Made in America" national pride? This year, why not join us and simply refuse to buy anything from big chain stores.

I'm sure there's plenty of people way ahead of us, but who'se with me?

7. what career?
If it wasn't for the outrageous crap he pulled on the Tom Green show, what career would he have?

I wonder if Drew left him because of his insane urge to fellate any object any time... or because he's just insane.

5. Pride in our country only manifests itself in
bombing women and children and bad-mouthing the French. It doesn't include supporting American workers and American industry, not when we can save a few cents, that's for sure!

10. since I can't
even afford Wal-Mart, no problem. For my wife and I even Wal-Mart prices are upscale shopping. We normally hit Big lots, Dollar General and thrift stores.
