Circuit City Unplugged...Time to Charge on Over for Current Sales

The $10 billion dollar company with 34,000 employees is getting zapped! Liquidation sales are already underway. Get in line for the organized and legal looting of this 60-year old company based in Richmond, Va. You know there is a store on Jennifer Road. Let's see....I can use a new camera (lost the old one), always need disks, paper, cartridges, maybe an external hard drive too...hmmm....what else???...the old tv is real old....course, I ain't got no money to buy nuthin' either....and on a more sobering note...our credit crisis is quickly turning into a massive unemployment crisis...we can live without Circuit City but now 34,000 men and women will have to figure out where the next paychecks are coming from....Same thing with the great Steve and Barry's chain of discount clothing--CP went there a few weeks ago before their Glen Bunie store closed and got a down jacket for $9.00.....it's a great time to be a bargain shopper, a store liquidator or a foreclosure lawyer....and probably a banker too! California is about to go bankrupt...We have nothing to fear but fear itself. ..We have only one hope, only one person to turn to....OBAMAMAN to the rescue!!! Ta da! Well, maybe....maybe not.....But I'm sharpening' up my shovel....got my shovel ready just in case...only problem is the ground is frozen! Clunk. Let's pray for global warming to thaw things out...I need stimulus...I need stimulus...Actually, as the Ramones sang, I want to be sedated....

"I want to be sedated...."

Paul, I sure some of your readers will be in favor of this idea.

Dennis.....hmmmm...Thanks....I think...let me ruminate on that one...is that a back-handed compliment? Or by "some" readers do you mean the elected officials, cronies and others who see my writings as a thorn in their sides--or worse--and wish I would just fade away? Are you suggesting I am too prolific? Too hyper? Too energetic or intense? Are these bad traits in a blogger? Please elucidate and enlighten me, I mean us. If you'd like to sedate me and have a case of Blue Moon or a couple bottles of a fine California Shiraz, invite me over but, I can't take anything harder....unless it's by prescription and doctor ordered...If it were summer, you could have me by your pool or on your boat to sip as well....but, that's up to you..I am waiting...anyhow, just ask the barristas at Ahh, Coffee! and they will tell you I only drink the decaf...and only one cup at that... Comments from readers who identify themselves are always most welcome...even when...well, when weird...I mean wired...

While it is sad, CC did not waste any time with the sales. I stopped by yesterday with my own empty wallet to check it out and the checkout line was at least 100 deep and they were offering 30% off lowest ticketed price.

Most of the good stuff will likely be history by the time the 50% sale rolls around.

But a VERY sad sign of the times---in front of the mall, hundreds of signs about the Champion Billiard and Bar Stools bankruptcy liquidation (big new building next to Annapolis Bowl), sandwich board advertising guys for 60% to 80% off at KB Toys for their liquidation and bankruptcy, and the sandwich board advertising guys for the 30% off at Circuit City for their liquidation and bankruptcy.

I fear this is only the beginning and I have to wonder if Obamaman can really affect change once Obamapalooza is over!

I went to Circuit City too and it was crowded...but not being much of a consumer (except of news) I left empty-handed. Perhaps it is true that the era of the consumer-driven economy has ended. Hang on to your hat.
