Are you ready? I prefer to do all my shopping online. There nothing I hate more than a mall between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I’ve already done some pre-Black Friday shopping on Amazon. They have some great deals right now. But to find the best price on a huge variety of items, I’ve been using dealnews. That site is pretty sweet.

Obama’s got nothing on this guy.
That’s just inspiring.
Sixteen-year-old Aaron Fotheringham – known as ‘Wheels’ – got official recognition last month, even though he has been doing them for two years.
He takes his specially made wheelchair on to skate ramps in Las Vegas, where he has become a something of a celebrity in the skate scene.
He said: “It feels awesome to have the record.”
Aaron invented a sport that he calls “hardcore sitting” – using a wheelchair to perform moves more often seen done on skateboards or BMX bikes.
Suddenly, that 207 I got at the bowling alley doesn’t feel so special.
That sure is a nice sculpture you’re showing the the Louvre.
So that’s what he’s been doing all these years.
No, not poltergeists, something much better:
The Food and drug Administration has decided to reverse the 1992 ruling and lift the 14-year ban on the use of silicone breast implants in the United states. Two California-based companies, Mentor and Allergan, have been approved to manufacture and sell what experts say is a newly designed and safer silicone implant.
Dr. Daniel G. Schultz, director of the F.D.A.?s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said that the F.D.A.?s review of company-sponsored studies on silicone implants, as well as long-term use of the implants around the world, was enough to approve the use of the implants in the best interest of American women. Dr. Schultz cautioned however, that no device is completely foolproof and some implants may need to be replaced eventually due to leaks or ruptures.
?Women should know that breast implants are not lifetime devices,? he told reporters over the phone last night. ?Women having these procedures done need to be prepared for the fact that there is a likelihood they will require additional surgery,? he added.
So as you celebrate Thanksgiving in a few days, there’s one more thing to be thankful for.
So, the company is sending me to Chicago next week for a job. OK, that’s fine. However, the fact that they are flying me up there on the fifth anniversary of 9/11 does have me a little bit spooked.
But I’m sure I’ll be fine. If any terrorists have designs on the plane I’m occupying, I’ve got two words for them:
Let’s Roll!
UPDATE:
It’s not every day you hear the Prime Minister of Japan sing an Elvis tune…
You’re a pretty good Elvis singer,” the president said, in an obvious prompt to his guest. Bush knew what was coming, having previously experienced Koizumi’s tendency to burst into song when it comes to the late rock ‘n’ roll legend who is the Japanese leader’s undisputed musical hero.
Koizumi quickly complied. “Love me tender,” he sang. “Wise men say, `Only fools rush in.’ “
Enter the special tour guides for the two leaders’ private tour of Graceland: Presley’s only child and heir, Lisa Marie, and her mother, Priscilla. “I want you, I love you,” remarked Koizumi, spouting more Elvis tunes. Draping his arm around Lisa Marie, he went on. “Hold me close, hold me tight,” the prime minister crooned.
And what were they serving on Air Force One on the way to Graceland? Grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches, of course.
UPDATE: Thank you, thank you very much.
UPDATE II: Wait, this one’s better…
