• The green arches?

  
  Springtime for Dubcek ... and Slovakia! — Authority: 123
  Perusing the headlines on Sme, I ran across a report about how McDonald’s is rebranding itself as “green” in its German restaurants . No, they’re literally rebranding the chain as green. As in, the red in the classic red-and-white Mickey D’s color scheme is being changed to green. Those golden arches will ...

• I’m beginning to dread a lot about Christmas…

  
  Midlife Crisis Queen: The Weblog — Authority: 470
  We had barely gotten past Halloween when the onslaught of  “holiday” commercials began.  I think it was a Walmart ad.  All I remember clearly was the personal panic that immediately set in! It must be my age.  Every year I now face the “holidays” with dismay and consternation instead of joy.  They make ...

  Rich Credit Debt Loan — Authority: 522
  On the surface, this seems like an oxymoron. How could you possibly use debt to create more money? It actually isn’t an oxymoron, but you’re going to need to change your perception of debt and classify into two different categories for this to make sense. There are many ways that going into debt can actually end ...

  Hellbound Alleee — Authority: 112
  Just in time for the holidays and Black Friday! The five-minute Aunt Jemima Program: proof that in the Golden Age of Radio, "product placement" was not necessary, as the product WAS the show.

  WIMN's Voices: A Group Blog on Women, Media, AND — Authority: 396
  As I sit against the florescence of the television screen, watching the conservative Fox News pundit Glenn Beck drive political nails into progressive leaders using the fear of U.S. blacks and immigrants of color as his hammer, my memory harkens back to the year in which the book Push was set, 1987. During that time, ...

  Welcome to the Momplex — Authority: 118
  I live in a very, very liberal town that also happens to be smack in the middle of hunting and fishing country. Within the city limits, one dare not show a taste for firearms or veal, and yet when you drive beyond the borders, you must be up on the timing of deer-hunting season and where to get the best Friday-night ...

• Gifts for Young Kids @ Christmas : my take

  
  Metropolitan Mama — Authority: 498
  Most of our 3-year-old’s favorite things aren’t things. She likes painting and hiking, racing and bike riding, baking and card-making. She’s never really formed affinities with objects nor does she get particularly excited about playing with toys. She would much rather “exercise” in the front yard or “go ...

As the holidays, and I mean ALL holidays, begin showing up in stores months and months in advance, I become increasingly disgusted. I saw Christmas items out in early October this year. Halloween items ...

  NPR Check — Authority: 423
  Monday meant that there were only 45 shopping days before Christmas, and NPR was in crass commercialism high gear.

  "Commercialism is a vacuum," my mother warned me. "It will suck you in." I was seven or eight years old and my mother was running a bath for me.
