ShopperTrak RCT Corp., a Chicago-based research firm, is reporting that Black Friday sales are up 3% over previous years..

Whether storegoers were happy, fighting, or trampling Wal-Mart employees to death, they shopped til they dropped on Black Friday 2008!

Experts were expecting a smaller than normal Christmas shopping kickoff due to economic fears and recessionary spending habits kicking in.. but the American people defied reality and gave stores a run for their money..

Bodybags ready? Still a little under a month until Christmas..

Buy American! If you can find it...?
