Some Good CyberMonday Deals

I'm shopped out, but in case you are still going, CyberMonday starts today. Prices will fluctuate throughout the day at most sites, but here's a few that will stay the same until Dec. 7:

  • How about a Panisonic 32" LCD HD TV that for $499? It's a 720 as opposed to 1080p (and I don't buy their "retail price" of $2500., but 720 probably all you need in a 32".

If you found any great deals, let us know (not the link, unless you can put it in html format, but the store and the item.)

Friday Open Thread

Update: Wal-Mart worker trampled, dies following Black Friday stampede.

It's shop till you drop day. The same deals are available online, so why go out? If you bought anything fun, or found a great deal and wished you could, let us know.

If there's one thing I wish I could get today, it's this, to replace the one that was stolen in my home invasion two weeks ago.

If you've got anything else to discuss, from politics to your thanksgiving dinner and all other topics, here's a place for you.

Thanksgiving Day Radio Thanks

I just turned on KBCO in Boulder. Like many great radio stations around the country, they are playing collectibles with fewer commercials today.

Playing now: The Rolling Stones, You Can't Always Get What You Want.

Which of your favorite songs did you hear on the radio today? (I'll get some great late night suggestions from them.)

What I'm thankful for right now: The thieves left my stereo (probably because it dates to 1978 and the amp weighs about 80 pounds.) As you look around today, what are you happy you resisted the urge to trade in or give away?

Thanksgiving Morning: Alice's Restaurant Edition

It's a great Thanksgiving tradition. Radio stations around the country today will play the 18 minute version of Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant, recorded in 1967.

Should you miss it on your local radio station and yearn for the original version, you can listen here (and read the lyrics too.) [Update: that link doesn't seem to be working yet today, try here.]

If you're wondering where Alice is, she's here.
Does anyone besides me still have a hardcover edition of her 1969 Alice's Restaurant cookbook in their kitchen? (Photo here.) It's filled with tasty recipes and very easy instructions.

100 Greatest Films

According to Cahiers du Cinema compilation. (Via Ann Althouse.)

Everyone has their own list of course, but it is hard for me to imagine that nothing from Roman Polanski made the list ("Chinatown" is my favorite film, but "Repulsion" should satisfy the art house insistent.) Plus, "Touch of Evil" makes the list? The other thing is "Once Upon A Time In America" over "Once Upon a Time In the West?" Not buying that one.

Black Friday Shopping and Deals

Probably because I've been pre-occupied with replacing what was stolen in my "home invasion" two weeks ago, I've spent untold hours lately checking out the latest electronics and prices at a wide array of online retailers and stores.

I have my favorites. {More...]

Corrente hosted a representative of Health Care NOW to discuss, shockingly, health care reform. Not knowing anything about the subject, I merely point you to the discussion.

Saturday Open Thread

Today is Saturday, which means college football for all patriotic, red blooded Americans . . .

The Mighty Gators have a virtual bye against the Citadel this afternoon. The big action will be in Norman, Oklahoma tonight, where the Sooners host the Red Raiders of Texas Tech.

It should be a barnburner.

In any event, Go Gators!
