Little known fact:

Last year, just 2 months after the worst financial scare we've seen in 80 years, sales on black Friday were:

1. Higher
2. Lower
3. The Same

from the year before (when the economy was expanding, and consumer confidence was high).

Answer: 1. Higher.

But why didn't the media report this-- shout this from the rooftops?
