Classless Masses Fight over Cell Phones on Black Friday … What Has Become of America?

DISGRACEFUL: Once again we are presented with what is not the reason for the season …  What the hell has become of our country?

Sadly, folks reduced themselves to the lowest level of existence as they battled each other on Black Friday over cell phones. WTF!!! These fools battled, pushed, shoved to get phones as if they were Haitian refugees fighting for food following a massive and terrible earthquake. However, those in Hati were starving,  Note to the morons fighting over phones … IT’S A FRIGGIN PHONE!!! Don’t you know that you can get your own free Obama phone?

I guess when we have record number of Americans living on Food Stamps and record number of Americans unemployed, underemployed and no longer looking, this is what society gets reduced to.

Larry Hagman, the actor who played such iconic roles as Major Anthony Nelson and J.R Ewing of ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ and ‘Dallas’ fame, respectively, has passed away at the age of 81 due to complications of cancer. Hagman was surrounded by his family and friends in Texas and died peacefully as per a family statement. Never has an actor been so loved and hated as to the roles that Hagman portrayed. From the bumbling and comical character of astronaut Major Nelson and everyone’s dream to have a problem like how to deal with a Jeannie, Barbara Eden, to the ruthless, conniving and mischievous Dallas business man J.R. Ewing … Rest in Peace Larry Hagman.

Rest in Peace: (September 21, 1931 – November 23, 2012)

“Larry was back in his beloved hometown of Dallas, re-enacting the iconic role he loved the most. Larry’s family and closest friends had joined him in Dallas for the Thanksgiving holiday,” the family said in a statement that was provided to The Associated Press by Warner Bros., producer of the show.   The 81-year-old actor was surrounded by friends and family before he passed peacefully, “just as he’d wished for,” the statement said.

For those of you who are too young to know that TV used to actually have fantastic drama programming, not ridiculous ‘reality” tv on every channel and before a DVR was ever heard of, Friday nights from 1978 to 1991  were reserved to watch ’Dallas’.   For those who think that the choosing of the Apprentice or who is the final one standing on Survivor, Dancing with the Stars or American Idol were events, it had nothing on the story line of “Who Shot J.R.” that captured the collective imagination and forever entered the American lexicon of individuals in the 1980′s.

On this day in 1980, 350 million people around the world tune in to television’s popular primetime drama “Dallas” to find out who shot J.R. Ewing, the character fans loved to hate. J.R. had been shot on the season-ending episode the previous March 21, which now stands as one of television’s most famous cliffhangers. The plot twist inspired widespread media coverage and left America wondering “Who shot J.R.?” for the next eight months.  The November 21 episode solved the mystery, identifying Kristin Shepard, J.R.’s wife’s sister and his former mistress, as the culprit.

Warner Bros.”Dallas” executive producers Cynthia Cidre and Michael M. Robin, and the show’s cast and crew released the following statement:

“Larry Hagman was a giant, a larger-than-life personality whose iconic performance as J.R. Ewing will endure as one of the most indelible in entertainment history. He truly loved portraying this globally recognized character, and he leaves a legacy of entertainment, generosity and grace. Everyone at Warner Bros. and in the “Dallas” family is deeply saddened by Larry’s passing, and our thoughts are with his family and dear friends during this difficult time.”

Pennsylvania’s Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) Cutting 400 Instructors, Support Staff & and PT Instructors to Avoid Paying for Obamacare

Thanks Barack Obama … America, you get what you vote for.

Obamacare responsible for 400 of the Community College of Allegheny County instructors, support staff and part time instructors having their hours reduced. Obama just things that money grows on trees and has no concept how any business actually works. More revenues must be brought in than expenses paid out. Then again, Obama has not had a budget in 4 years and has increased the federal deficit by nearly $6 trillion in his first term. To any thinking person, it was obvious that colleges, restaurants and businsesses were going to have to cut and make adjustments to pay for being forced to insure individuals.

“It’s kind of a double whammy for us because we are facing a legal requirement [under the new law] to get health care and if the college is reducing our hours, we don’t have the money to pay for it,” said adjunct biology professor Adam Davis.   On Tuesday, CCAC employees were notified that Obamacare defines full-time employees as those working 30 hours or more per week and that on Dec. 31 temporary part-time employees will be cut back to 25 hours. The move will save an estimated $6 million.    “While it is of course the college’s preference to provide coverage to these positions, there simply are not funds available to do so,” said CCAC spokesperson David Hoovler. “Several years of cuts or largely flat funding from our government supporters have led to significant cost reductions by CCAC, leaving little room to trim the college’s budget further.”   The solution, says United Steelworkers representative Jeff Cech, is that adjunct professors should unionize in an attempt to thwart schools seeking similar cost-savings efforts from avoiding Obamacare.

What Would Jesus Say? Black Friday 2012 … Thousands of Teen Girls & Young Women Crowd Entrance at Victoria’s Secret Pink at Oak Park Mall in Overland Park, KS

What would Jesus say?

Sorry, but I long for the days of old when I did not have to see individuals making fools of themselves on Black Friday, acting like a bunch of savages who are without conscience, thought and restraint. All this in the name of getting a sale or bargain price? I can dare say that pretty much everyone in this crowd could not provide a educated guess as to the “reason for the season”. As reported at Action 41 News, thousands of teens and young woman crowded the entrance of a Victoria’s Secret in Overland Park, Kansas all in the name of “Black Friday”.

Let me just say this, is it any wonder why so many people long for the days of yesterday when its citizens were not such mind numb zombies, captives of marketing. Take a good look at yourselves, this is hardly something to be proud of. What the hell ever happened to my country?

It kind of looked like a Justin Bieber concert.

What seemed like thousands of teen girls and young women crowded the entrance at Victoria’s Secret Pink at Oak Park Mall as it prepared to open the gate to Black Friday shoppers at midnight the day after Thanksgiving.

Mall security guards attempted to control the crowd outside the store, which was really more like a hundred or so, as the gate went up. But the crowd was pushing its way in, so a store manager had to step in.
