Now, about that horrid economy…

Retailers buoyed by strong holiday start

It would appear that another doom-and-gloom story circulated by the MSM has fallen by the wayside. Soon the “experts” will be dragged out and questioned as to how the consumer can be so dumb as to be out there purchasing things and driving the economy onward and upward in such dire times…and they will never see the contradiction in that meme.

And it’s not just the US consumer that’s doing the shopping. Folks are flocking from all over to take advantage of the "weak" dollar.

Forget the climate! Britons scent U.S. bargains

Along those same lines, the Canadians are crossing the border in droves to shop in the US malls. I forget where I saw the story yesterday, but the locals are complaining about the lack of parking in many shops along the border because all those Ontario plated cars are taking up the spaces. I’m sure the retailers are ecstatic about that little development.
