Frankly, I was shocked — shocked! — when I read Sen. Mike Jacobs’ quote about a possible pay raise for legislators. Jacobs said “Frankly, if you don’t want politicians selling jobs and you don’t want politicians carrying plastic bags to the governor’s mansion full of cash, well then you’ve got to pay them.”

It’s unconscionable to use plastic for such a purpose. Don’t politicians care anything about the environment? Plastic is bad — cloth bags are good. When you use cloth bags, they can be used over and over again to carry the cash.

There’s more than one way to think green.

    What did you do on Black Friday?
    Out shopping as soon as the stores opened.
    Waited until the early rush crowds thinned out and then went shopping.
    Took my time and went shopping later in the day.
    Did all my shopping online.
    Spent the day doing anything BUT shopping.
