That might be the first Martha Stewart mention in list history. Additionally, an amazing response to the great discount store debate. I still blame K-mart because of the stale bluelight popcorn. ¿This response is bus related ? Anyone running 195/70/R15--Continental. I can't find the hankook's.

The holding company is Sears Holding Co symbol SHLD. A merger is the joining of two entities into one with usually one, but not necessarily, emerging as the dominant entity. It could also be argued in this case that it was a consolidation with the disappearance of both entities with the new entity, SHLD, emerging. Since in this case it appears that Sears has emerged as the dominant entity the normal lay person would probably argue that Sears bought K-Mart. Since neither was really the case; SHLD acquired both. Which is correct: well, let the academics argue it. What it really was: Two bads merging to make one large horrible. Is it really true that Martha Stewart is now autographing Craftsman tools? And one more for the road: I haven't used Google since Rosie O'Donnel suggested, in her tirade on the strike on the World Trade Center, that if you didn't believe that steel could not burn to just Google it. --- On Fri, 2/13/09, Neil <nbmdude@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Neil <nbmdude@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Kmart DID buy Sears!
