DON'T TAKE ME THE WRONG WAY, I LOVE A THRIFT STORE AS MUCH AS THE NEXT GUY. I mean, half my wardrobe is honestly from a thrift store, and it is not because I can't afford to buy new clothes—part of my personal wealth can be closely attributed to my not buying new stuff.
There are times, though, when I walk into a thrift store, that I am left scratching my head a bit. The thought comes to mind as I peruse the racks and shelves, ""Why would anyone donate this?" And then, even if someone did donate this, what moron decided to actually put it onto the shelf and not into the dumpster where it probably rightfully belongs.
OR, maybe I am missing something altogether. Maybe someone out there may actually buy the thing on the shelf you truly believe is fit for nothing but the landfill.
Like this doll, for example. I mean, not only is its face crushed, but it is missing half of its hair which has of course filled the bag, and made this thing into some creepy, hairy monster. I do recall that old show by Ray Bradbury where he would look around the room and think, "What shall I write about today?" Perhaps old Ray would have bought this doll, brought her into his studio, and decided to find a story to write about it.
Either way, I thought it was a funny find, and definitely fits within the category of "random thoughts," which is part of the description of this here blog.
Who the hell thought this was a keeper? Moreover, who in the hell would actually buy it?

American Manufacturing Is About More Than Just Jobs
Bringing back American manufacturing is critical to American society in more ways than just economic ones. In order for America to succeed it needs the ability to make things, not only for the stability and good jobs it provides, but for national security as well.
