I catch her on MSNBC occasionally; my sense is her wit is somewhat constrained there, but she's still very good. I'll start checking Vanity Fair now; thanks for the tip!

My mom was the opposite of your mom in this; she abhorred Black Friday. Not having any money to spend was a big part of it, I'm sure.

That's hilarious!

I used to love going around stores on Black Friday morning. Everyone is so petrified of the "Crowds" that they stay away and you can go in, get a great parking spot, some excellent doorbuster deals, and get all your Christmas shopping done by noon. Ive done it at the Mall of America and loved every minute of it.

Now its all online which 1) is no fun at all 2) you never really have in hand what you bought that day and 3) are never happy with once you get it.
