Is Thanksgiving Becoming Black Thursday?

Would you rather spend Thanksgiving Day with the family or look for discounts at Target, K-Mart or RadioShack?  You’ll have more choices this year as more and more chains are opening on the holiday.  But Nordstrom, Costco and others are striking back, staying closed and boasting that they’re more “family friendly.”  Is opening on America’s Day of Thanks a kind of secular sacrilege, or should the marketplace decide? Also, Governor Brown’s latest appointment will help re-shape the State Supreme Court.  Why is it called a “mind blower?”
