Target Stores Down For The Count

That’s right, Target’s on the mat and the count is nearing ten and out. Wal-Mart just pinned Target and its new Management (old Coca-Cola team) and Marketing program against the mat. Wal-Mart announced today that it would donate $1,000,000.00 – that’s one million dollars folks – to the red-kettle donations of the Salvation Army.

You remember, the wise and apathetically constricted management of Target Department Stores decided it was in their best interests this year to deny the red-kettle bell ringers of the Salvation Army in front of their stores this Christmas season. Please see Hugh Hewitt here and Betsy’s Page here for more information. Let us just hope that at some point the cadaverous management of Target will eventually become the changed Ebenezer Scrooge and not that of the grotesque and former partner of Ebenezer Jacob Marley.

Peace from the Barber Shop…
