ALABAMA: Alabama Governor Robert Bentley was in Tuscaloosa today at Tuscaloosa County Veterans Memorial Park Association's Veterans Day ceremony. Gov. Bentley thanked veterans and their families for their sacrifices. Talking more about our veterans as the rain fell he went on to say, “We’re a little bit uncomfortable here, but they're uncomfortable most of the time." Well said Governor, well said.

NATIONAL: A gaggle of retailers are already announcing early times for Black Friday making more time to shop! So far I’ve seen Toys-R-Us, Sears and Walmart advertising they’re opening at 8pm Thanksgiving night. I vow to not join you in the joy this year or anytime you advertise shopping insanity like that which will ensue on the biggest shopping day of the year. No sir, I’ll keep the sofa warm.  

SPORTS: Monday Night Football tonight has the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. Looking at this game, The Chiefs lead the league in turnovers and Steelers running back Isaac Redman had a career high 147 yards last week… I’m going with the Steelers.

ENTERTAINMENT: The Team Jacob vs. Team Edward battle is back on this Friday with the final installment of the Twilight Saga, ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2’. The last three ‘Twilight’ movies have averaged $290 million at the Box Office and it’s estimated this one will be the biggest grossing film yet.

MUSIC: According to People Magazine, the relationship between Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy is over. Hmm, more content for her next album?
