The story that was used to smear Wal-Mart, Christmas shopping, and commerce itself turns out to be a fake. The woman who claimed to be run over and left in the dust by shoppers anxious for a bargain is a professional victim, with 16 injury claims, 9 of them against Wal-Mart. (Courtesy of Drudge)
PS: George Will and all the others who used this story to write tendentious anti-capitalist sermons: time for a retraction.
