SOMETHING WHICH YOUR CORRESPONDENT CAME UP WITH BY ACCIDENT, AS IT WERE, while imagining material for this blog post:

"Beck" (as in Glenn, who's announcing further fresh and fascinating ways to stoke up the hate of the Great White Unwashed as are all the more Unlikely to be Retrained in the New Socioeconomic Paradigm) happens to rhyme with "dreck," the Yiddish for "trash," "dirt" or "garbage."

Which, all in all, is what Glenn Beck is and hath become.

Hence, imagine "Glenn Beck" as rhyming slang for "dreck," as in "Please take out the Glenn Beck, will you, dear?"

(Please share this with your friends ... responsibly. Besides, you ain't whistling "Tzena Tzena" or "Mein Yiddishe Mommeh" for nothing.)

WHILE FAMILIES ARE EXPECTED, IN LINE WITH ESTABLISHED TRADITION, TO REMAIN TOGETHER @ TABLE ON THURSDAY in deference to Thanksgiving Day, you can just imagine the Friday following (known in the retail game as "Black Friday") to be the sort of day that children, in the minds of some parents, should expect to be out of the house "lest [the parental units] have a nervous breakdown" by their lazing around doing nothing, watching TV or surfing the Information Stuporbahn "in idleness and sloth."

Which, unfortunately, could too easily be code for having the kids out of the house so the parents can look up child pornography or worse online, with "nervous breakdown" being code for this. (And there actually being a genuine, copper-bottomed nervous breakdown when the police start asking questions, especially when mall security starts asking the kids why their parents aren't exactly with them on a rather busy day which can see substantial crowds ... and security starts getting suspicious about the answers being coached or scripted to avoid arousing suspicions.)

As can too easily be commonplace during school holidays as much as on weekends.

So, parents, why expect your children to be out of the house during the lion's share of the day when it's unlikely that you're all that sick, or @ risk of a nervous breakdown?

YOUR CORRESPONDENT KNOWS NOT THE FITNESS OF THE PRECEDING IMAGE TO WHAT I'M ABOUT TO DISCUSS, especially among you with Black Friday shopping plans in the more traditional stylee "out of common sense:"

CNNMoney.com has Some Inconvenient Truths You Need To Know About regarding those "amazing deals" featured in retailers' flyers as announce special early opening hours this Friday ... the which you ought to read in the face of prolonged queues likely to ensue, and of a sort as could have police called out in case bedlam and confusion crosses into disorder and violence.

(The which I will spare you @ the expense of giving away spoilers.)

Moral: Consider shopping the Information Stuporbahn ... especially so the several e-tailer affiliates of The Exaggerator as well as its e-boutique, The Exaggerator Collection (powered by CafePress.com); it's online shopping with a conscience (as in donating part of the proceeds which Your Correspondent can generate therefrom to Reduction of the National Debt, among Other Good Causes, in case you need explanation).

SOMETHING WHICH YOUR CORRESPONDENT WOULD LIKE TO SEE, to borrow from the occasional mock "department" Mad magazine was fond of doing in the heighth of its glory: Having a small (and preferably independent, "mom-and-pop") motel essentially dumping TV altogether as a guest amenity and convenience, never mind that it's FreeVee, cable or satellite.

Preferably in some "shoobie trap" of the sort favoured by the lowest sort of so-called "Real Americans" that, for all of Fox Prolefeed's excesses of hagiographic idealism, may be of the lowest breeding and intellect--the ilk revered by "tea party" campaigns and others with weird and unwholesome connexions and associations taking advantage of their want of critical thinking skills and their primitive, easily-exploited patriotism and xenophobia.

The better, shall we say, as a protest against the overdone choices available as are probably too much for the average guest to fathom, not to mention the deteriorating quality of programming as is sure to raise the hackles of the Elmer Gantry crowd pushing the American Cultural Exceptionalism card seeing Die Bransoner Muzikschaukultur as its ur-acid test as much as Das Realkultur von der Amerikanischer Volk.

"...and that is is a way."
