Saved just over 30% on a bedroom set today though.. Did research online, got soem price matching.. found out it was coming out of a local warehouse.. set it up to pick it up myself (saved shipping costs 
)
That's 30% over the internet price.. not MSRP.. probably save 50% of MSRP or more..

THE PATRIOT, the whole thing is up on youtube if anybody wants to watch it.
The second half of this clip is my favorite scene.

Barack Obummer wants the auto industry to get "lean and mean". This from the mother f*cker who's budget adds more national debt than every President from George Washington to G.W. Bush. Most extraordinary bullshitter I've ever heard.

I got a B of A credit card with a pretty high balance, cause at 7.9% it's pretty good. Couple of months ago I get the statement. Interest rate jacked from 7.9% to 22.9%. No explanation. Never been late, never exceeded my limit. FICO in the high 700s. Called them up. What's going on? They're reevaluating credit 'cause they're worried about outstanding debt. Asked the lady if that's cause they gave credit cards and sub prime loans to illegal alien wetbacks. No response. Told her they could make a choice;
Put my rate back to 7.9% and I'd keep paying, or leave it at 22.9% in which case they could take the balance, turn it sideways and stuff it where the sun don't shine 'cause I wouldn't pay it. She says hold on. Comes back on after talking to some boob and checking my credit score. They put it back to 7.9%. Don't let the bastards get you down.

Since it's slow here and all, I think Cleveland should post some pics of that snazzy new bedroom set!
I've got the afternoon off and am drinking RonRico, about 5 so far. I ain't done yet.
And I'm just ball bustin'. If I had a women worth keeping, who wanted to be kept, I'd buy her any bedroom set she wanted. But then, I've already got a platoon's worth of guns and ammo!

Did you see the Dateline episode last week (part 2 or 3) on the banking industry? I'm an independent mainly because both parties are full of salamander manure, and I believe that there is a happy, middle ground in what the gummint controls and what it doesn't control.
Lately, the complaints about our new, Socialist gummint wanting more regulation have been increasing. Well, lets look at credit cards...
The banking industry got congress to remove interest rate caps in the 80's because they claimed caps limited the amounts of loans. By removing caps, the banks can loan out more money to Johnny American. This is the root of the banks being able to jack our rates from 7.9% to 29.9%. The fine print says that the rates are variable and can be jacked for absolutely no reason whatsoever. A Harvard professor stated that the credit card companies had 1 page of terms back in the 80's. I think the current ones average 10 pages. Furthermore, the banks are looking for folks that bite off more than they can pay off in a month, and keep raising the limits until a certain point, then jack the rate. The cardholder has nowhere to go at this point. Deregulation did Johnny American no favors as far as credit cards are concerned.
BTW, I saw your comment on another thread about how the US has had Socialist thinking for a long time, i.e. Social Security, WIC, etc. I couldn't agree more with that statement.
