Here are a few of the things in news, entertainment, sports and popular culture that we've been talking about lately.

* The New York Giants' Plaxico Burress accidentally shoots himself in the leg -- with his own gun -- at a Manhattan nightclub. Basic math: "NFL player" plus "gun" plus "nightclub" plus "staggering stupidity" equals "no place you'd ever want to be."

* "Black Friday" day-after-Thanksgiving sales increase 3 percent over last year. Next on the retail calendar: "Moving Into A Big Box Near The Underpass Tuesday" in late January.

* The National Bureau of Economic Research confirms that the United States has been in a recession since December 2007. The official announcement came from the U.S. Department of the Blazingly Obvious.
