First there was the collapse of the Sears and Kmart storefronts -- anarchy, genocide, starvation.
Then when it seemed when things couldn't get any worse, we got the bankruptcy; the living death; quickly closing its fist over the entire company. And then we heard the rumors that the last corporate folks including Eddie Lampert himself were working on a cure that would end the bankruptcy and restore Sears Holdings Corp. RESTORE IT? WHY? I LIKE THE BANKRUPTCY. I LIKE THE MISERY! I LIKE THIS WORLD! AAH!
