Lindsay Lohan, the reason for the season.

I hope all of you had a good turkey day. And in Maese's case I hope you had a good vegetarian day.

So I needed to get out to the stores early today to buy a digital camera for my mother. One of those Canon jobbies that was like half price. To say Best Buy was a little busy is a bit of an understatement.

But thankfully, I skipped through the lines pretty good and cut my shopping time in half for it.

I also managed to pick up some other things like:

The First Season of '24' (It was $12.99 at Best Buy and I promised my friend I'd watch this show if the cost of the seasons went down)

Family Guy DVD Volume 1 (At $17.77 it's a decent little bargain)

Mean Girls DVD ($9.99 for a movie too many people seemed to like. It stars Lindsay Lohan and co-stars Lindsay Lohan's ever-expanding rack.)

ESPN College Hoops for XBox ($19.99 isn't a special but that game absolutely rules the earth)

Nifty Household Tool Box ($13.77, I needed one of those, now I must find a tool belt to complete the look)

Sony 48" Plasma TV ($1,200 but no financing until 2006....yeah right, I was just making sure I hadn't lulled you guys to sleep yet)

Anyway, since I'm still working on my Vegas post, I mentioned one special Sunday in this week's column. So enjoy it and imagine what a 12-man chest bump looks like.

As for last week's column, I got well over 200 responses from people around the globe. The response was surprisingly 50/50, which makes me think we need to continue speaking out for the rights of the people with common sense so they don't get swallowed up by the religious right.
