TODAY IS CYBER MONDAY…??
Cyber Monday is a marketing term for e-commerce transactions
on the Monday after Thanksgiving in the United States. It was
created by retailers to encourage people to shop online.
The term was coined by Ellen Davis of the National Retail
Federation and Scott Silverman, and made its debut on
November 28, 2005, in a Shop.org press release entitled
"Cyber Monday Quickly Becoming One of the Biggest
Online Shopping Days of the Year.

THE POLITICAL JOKE OF THE DAY FROM FOX
Biden pardons son Hunter Biden ahead of exit
from Oval Office.
President Biden previously said he would not pardon his son.
(TNND) — Hunter Biden, was facing possible prison time for
federal felony gun and tax convictions.
The decision, which reverses Biden’s past promises not to use
the extraordinary powers of the presidency for the benefit of his
family members, comes weeks before Hunter Biden was set to
receive his punishment after his trial conviction in the gun case
and less than two months before President-elect Donald Trump
is set to return to the White House.
SOME EXPENSIVE MUSIC MEMORABILIA
David Jon Gilmour (78)
Music memorabilia has always been popular with collectors,
and there have been several items with truly extraordinary
price tags.
According to Guitar World, a 1954 Fender Stratocaster owned
by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd sold for $1.8 million at a 2019
Christie’s auction, while one owned by Jerry Garcia of the
Grateful Dead sold for $1.9 million in 2017.
Famous guitars associated with a single iconic musical
performance have fetched huge prices at auction houses.
The biggest by far is the Martin D-18E acoustic played by
Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain at the band’s “MTV Unplugged”
performance, which sold in 2020 for more than $6 million,
making it the most expensive guitar ever sold.
