• Commented on Black Friday Doorbusters Are A Sleazy Way To Lure Customers
  @Toffeecake: Seriously. They're more sleazy than retailers. At least the stores have "door-busters" much less often....
• Commented on What Does "Hostile Takeover" Mean?
  Maybe someone could explain what's evil about them. Bigger companies can't eat up the small ones by themselves; they need the consent of the shareholders. That doesn't sound hostile. It sounds voluntary....
• Commented on Costco Bans Coca-Cola
  @MrEvil: True. It's owned by the "Dr. Pepper Snapple Group" (thumbs-up to that name, by the way). [www.drpeppersnapplegroup.com]...

  Coca Cola also owns Minute Maid orange juice....
• Commented on Federal Reserve Proposes Rules On Gift Cards
  Actually, I saw an American Express sign at the store by the gift cards, and they said "No fees after purchase." So I guess they're already doing that. By the way, what happened to the comments system? It's all shoved...
• Commented on Reader Says He Was Tackled At Walmart For Not Showing Receipt
  Wal-Mart should really start using those orange "Paid-for" stickers....
• Commented on 15 Years In Prison After Cutting The Line At Walmart?
  Misleading headline. If she went to prison, it would be for assault. Also, the trial hasn't happened yet. 15 years is the maximum, which she is unlikely to get, in my opinion....
• Commented on Congress Investigates Airline Fees In Search Of Tax Revenue
  Congress isn't worried about the fees it imposed on the airlines, security and otherwise. That sounds like a double standard....

  @Al Swearengen: That's right! They're actually alcoholated caffeine drinks....
• Commented on Walmart Takes Steps To Prevent More Black Friday Chaos And Tragedy
  It wasn't their fault in the first place. I can't believe people were blaming Wal-Mart for the actions of a mob of shoppers. If someone's door got broken down and his house got robbed, whose fault is that?...
• Commented on How Epic Bureaucracy Led To GM's Doom
  @mexifelio: That's not proper grammar. GM killed *their* electric car. That California mandate should not have existed in the first place....
• Commented on How Epic Bureaucracy Led To GM's Doom
  @ARP: It's a bogeyman. A lot of the people were deceived by the fear-mongers. Those assets were "toxic" because they weren't worth anything. We transferred the risk from the banks to the government. What we should have done was let...

  #12. Change state law regarding auto insurance mandates....
• Commented on Walmart Clinic Spotted In The Wild
  This is a good thing. With insurance, no one knows what anything costs. Having menus listing what things cost is great. John Stossel talked about them in his documentary, "Sick in America":...
• Commented on Pizza Hut Coupons Let You Choose To Be An Idiot If You Want
  Here's what it shows on my deals page: [img196.imageshack.us] They seem different there. Maybe the reader's was an anomaly....
• Commented on
  It's not like the windows close by themselves. Someone has to push the button to close the window in the first place. Really, you're cheering for a law that puts a band-aid on negligence. Why not a device that stops...
• Commented on $1.26 Billion Glorified Tap Water Judgment Against Pepsi Thrown Out
  "I want $1 billion because they became successful." I mean, I don't sympathize with the plaintiffs at all....

• Commented on Seattle Coffee Direct Decides You Need $40 Worth Of Coffee Per Day
  I signed up for a "free sample" of coffee about a year ago, from Gevalia. I just had to pay $3.15 for three boxes. A couple weeks after that arrived, another box came, along with a bill for $20-something. I...
• Commented on PerfectPitch Owner Apologizes For DMCA Notice, Explains What Happened
  @Jocko_OC: What First Amendment rights? He asked Google not to list a URL when someone searched for their product, and it was because of a legitimate reason - piracy. It's not like he asked that the blog be taken down....
