Nevermind the stock rally from Monday or the massive sales figures from Black Friday, CNBC’s Jim Cramer had a very grim outlook for the global financial markets going forward. In sum, the European crisis is so bad that the U.S. is grave danger. Business Insider explains:
In his opening segment on Mad Money tonight (via The Fly) Jim Cramer warns that Europe could easily spoil any party we’re having in the US due to the collapse in credit.
He walks through a fairly long (but very basic) explanation of what credit is, and how central it is to the economy, before (around the 6:30 mark) declaring that we’re in “DEFCON 3, two stages from a financial collapse so huge it’s hard to get your mind around.”
He tells everyone to “curb your enthusiasm.” If you want to stay happy, don’t watch the clips below. But if you want the hard truth, For video and article:

Makes you wonder:
Since becoming pregnant, I have learned a hard reality. I have private insurance because I am self employed. I knew that my insurance plan did not offer maternity coverage.
I did not know that there are NO private insurance companies that provide maternity coverage. I thought that was strange, so I did a little digging. What I found out was shocking to me.
I called 18 health insurance companies, including insurance “firms.” I was told this, ” When Obama enacted his “health care reform,” he mandated that maternity coverage not be available to any private insurance company.” All 18 companies said the exact same thing. It almost seems like he is trying to discourage pregnancy. Hmm…that made me think of something else.
When I worked at Planned Parenthood, there was something that we were not allowed to talk about. If we didn’t talk about it, then maybe no one else would either. It was called the Jaffe Memo. In 1969, Planned Parenthood was asked by the government to produce some ideas to help with overpopulation. They did just that. What is in the memo as a “solution” to overpopulation is astonishing. And, I’m sorry to say, it looks like the Jaffe Memo is starting to show its face in our culture.

Mrs. James and I were blessed to have been in attendance at this performance years ago (though it was only posted on Youtube last year).
For the first time in years, Walgreens’ ads are using the term “Christmas” instead of “Holiday”:
Retailers are calling it ‘Christmas’ again
Walgreens is team Christmas again. (Walgreens handout)
Walgreens is the latest store to return to explicit references to Christmas, switching its position a day after some Christian groups threatened to boycott over its generic holiday wording.
The American Family Association and the Liberty Counsel—Christian groups that maintain lists of “naughty” and “nice” retailers based on which stores reference Christmas—applauded Walgreens’ switch, along with several other big stores who are coming off the naughty list for the first time in years
