Someone else mentioned this the other day (I think in Kitchen Goddess?) in regards to a slow cooker purchase, but Linens N Things is officially going out of business, and they are in the middle of liquidation sales on their website and in the stores. All sales are final, but there are some nice deals.
We're going this evening to pick up some fresh cookware, and I'm going to try my best to stay out of the kitchen appliances section.

I just read that Linens N Things is considering filing for bankruptcy. It seems the slowing economy coupled with the falling housing market are adding to their troubles. The company has not said that they are for sure filing, and they are looking into other options.

Ladies,
Have you heard the news about Linens 'n Things? It looks like they'll be going bankrupt because no one is willing to bail them out. It's too bad they won't be around much longer, but I am looking forward to the clearance sales that are coming-soon!

Memories from the Great Depression seem more relevant today than ever. The New York Times is starting a series of video conversations about that painful past and the uncertain future.

Who's next?
With consumers shutting their wallets and corporate revenues plunging, the business landscape may start to resemble a graveyard in 2009. Household names like Circuit City and Linens 'n Things have already perished.

EVER since Mary Todd Lincoln overshot the White House decorating budget by $6,700 (a third of her $20,000 appropriation), infuriating her husband and delighting a press corps that had already turned against her, the redecoration of the president’s house has been a public relations minefield. Some new administrations tiptoe through it unscathed; others are less nimble, and bombs explode.
“It’s an old maxim that you can build a billion-dollar highway that’s the biggest pork barrel in the world and no one will say anything,” said William Seale, a White House historian, “but if you’re in public office and you try and change your desk, you’re going to end up on the front page.

Just reading this article makes me feel panicked. I don't understand why people can't figure out that we should not be pumping money into our housing market, it is going to do nothing but cause even more, and prolonged damage. There is enough damage due to federal government interference, why continue?
