I just saw the story on MSNBC saying they sold a record $1.43 Billion, which is up over 15% from Black Friday last year. For those not familiar with Black Friday, it's the Friday following Thanksgiving and is so named because it's the day when merchants hope to get "out of the red"(debt) and "into the black"(profit range).

The funny thing was when the announcer said, "Wal-Mart attributes the extra sales to customers spending more money."

Well, duh...lol.

I love the weekend "anchors".
