Target Clearance deals
The good deals I found were..
Herbal Essences 23.7 oz. with attached free gift bag containing 3 trial size products.
$4.58
-$2/2 mfc
=$3.58
I plan to part them out and sell separately...that is, if I don't want to keep them for myself after I have tried one out for a week. :P
Dove Go Fresh Set
$2.54
-$1.25 mfc
-$1 target coupon
=.29
The Gillette twin packs in the first pic above were $3 and there is a $1 off Target coupon for Gillette but I didn't have any mfc coupons with me to match up. $2 for 2 Gillette shave gels is still a good deal but after getting all those free ones at Walgreens recently I had to pass. :-)
Keep in mind, those are only 2 pics of the clearance stuff.. there were 2 other clearance end caps full... but it was closing time and I was getting surrounded by target employees who were re-vamping the nearby aisles.

What if 'hate crimes' law was applied to Miss USA fiasco?
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 5/4/2009 5:00:00
A Virginia congressman says the anti-Christian hatred and bigotry of homosexual blogger Perez Hilton and his supporters underscores one of the fallacies undergirding federal "hate crimes" legislation.
Congressional backers of the federal hate crimes bill that recently passed the House repeatedly claim that it will help ensure equal protection under the law for all Americans. They also argue that the bill does not threaten free speech, but merely punishes acts of violence motivated by hate.
Congressman Randy Forbes (R-Virginia) is a former ranking member of the Judiciary Crime Subcommittee, and founder of the Congressional Prayer Caucus. He recently took to the House floor and provided a powerful example of how the "Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act" does not ensure equality under the law.
Randy ForbesCongressman Forbes compared the protection Miss California Carrie Prejean would receive under the bill to the special protection homosexual blogger and Miss USA judge Perez Hilton would have been afforded.
"Had [Hilton] done what he said he would do and stormed that stage and pulled that tiara off [Prejean's] head and [inflicted] bodily harm when he did it, there would not have been one ounce of protection under this piece of legislation for that young girl," Forbes stated.
"But after he did it, if she had in response made a statement back about the very sexual orientation that had led him to his hatred and dislike for her, and if she had responded by slapping him or any physical injury, she would have had the potential of a ten-year federal piece of legislation coming against her."
The Virginia Republican also argued that if beauty contestant's father had rushed onto the stage at the Miss USA pageant and responded to Hilton's hatred in a physical way, he would have been open to prosecution under the hate crimes bill as well.
