The Black Friday stampede

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. should be judged fully liable in the wrongful death suit filed this week by the family of an employee killed on Black Friday. Temporary security officer Jdimytai Damour, 34, was trampled in a mad scramble by shoppers at a Wal-Mart store on Long Island, New York.

Other retailers provided outside security guards and priority numbers to shoppers for use in purchasing popular products, encouraging them to form orderly lines. Such as with rock concerts and sporting events, venues that invite large crowds have a responsibility to provide appropriate and fully-trained security officers. Even homeowners with swimming pools are required to contruct safety fences.

I was paging through this book at the box store on Sunday. I can't remember a celebrity memoir that looked so interesting. Great title and jacket cover, too.

The Cardinals landed a new shortstop, Khalil Greene, in a swap today with the San Diego Padres. Greene is an adherent of the Baha'i Faith, a religion with 5 to 6 million followers worldwide.

Bend an ear, fellas. This 9-year-old kid has all of the answers to your dating questions. Which is all really funny until the kid grows to be one of those self-help assholes on television.

Hey, good for the Cardinals- they signed Spicoli.

What is that 12 opening day shortstops in 12 years?
