ANOTHER Home Run
One day I’ll emerge from total tard-land and actually charge for amazing ideas. But anyway, two weeks ago, literally at the MINUTE that was precisely the right time to short the hell out of retail, I wrote a post with an incredibly cryptic and hard-to-understand title AGAIN, SHORT RETAIL.
