Plaxico Misses Foot; Shoots Self In Leg Instead


The Really: The march of the New York Giants back to the Super Bowl was lacking a little drama.

Taj Hotel Standoff Is Over (Again)


The Really: The terrorist standoff at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai is now over, again.

MSNBC is now reporting the standoff is over (and provides an excellent recap of the other times the standoff has been declared over in the past three days.)

Forgive us for not outsourcing.

Why They Call It Black Friday


The Really: A Wal-Mart employee was killed and a woman suffered a miscarriage when a crowd broke through the doors at 5:00 am to hunt for "bargains" at a Wal-Mart on Long Island.

So is this why they call it Black Friday? American shoppers have always been insane but add the evil of the recent economic disaster and the more it is like the Day of the Locust than Black Friday.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Scares Children!



The Really: These are real photos of real balloons that have been in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

You think times are bad now?! Look at this photo of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from the 1930s? Sheesh.

The Citi Never Sleeps


The Really: Late breaking news from CNBC shows that the Citi never sleeps when it is trying to put together a deal to save itself.

Breaking now: Citi is trying to work with the Government to sell assets or receive a bailout-in (or "out" as you prefer) but the situation is fluid. (The mind boggles when one thinks what kind of fluids these may be).

Meanwhile Ryan Tate the night reporter at Gawker has compiled several reports which lead one to believe that the following countries are on the brink of a kind of "bankruptcy".: joining poor Iceland may soon be Great Britain, Switzerland and Hedgefundia.

Dealbreaker is providing a blow-by-blow for those who know they will not get to sleep tonight anyway.
