Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

Happy Labor Day to all the scumbags who bash unions!Let me guess,you all went to work today to protest the "corrupt" unions..........
I wonder how Brian McLaughlin is celebrating today. Maybe he got an extra visit from Bubba.
Of course unions are corrupt. After all, there's nothing wrong with companies who have just been put on life-support by the American taxpayer paying their "producers" millions--hmm, produced a financial meltdown.
We have to pay for that kind of talent. We don't have anything left over to pay the security guards who guard the money with their lives, the bank tellers who serve the customers, the secretaries who take the calls...
I expect that all true Republicans go to work today to protest a government that celebrates socialism by glorifying their workers. Every Republican should know that workers exist only to comfort the wealthy (The real Americans). The workers in Texas and the other Red states already know this to be true. Wake up liberals.
Some jobs require you to work on Labor Day.
Why does this have to be overshadowed by West Indian Day?
Every year the Sunday before we have music blasting on the whole block until midnight (and, since it is a tweeder event, no cop will stop it.)
No, don't give me that racist shit. Its a pain in the ass and totally unnecessary.
Here's something to chew on:
The Chance for a Free Speech Do-Over
Labor Day's well and good but I prefer May Day.
By the way, parts of this article seem to have been lifted from the Wikipedia article on Labor Day.
"the virtues of men are of more consequence to society than their abilities___in selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. regard not the
particular sect or denomination of the candidate.
LOOK TO HIS CHARACTER."
Noah Webster
I prefer celebrating Oct. 12. The Day of Entrepreneurial Recognition: in commemoration of the great Cristoforo Colombo. Labor wanted to turn back, but the Keen Navigator said "push-on".
The Men of Vision trump the Workers.
George, you're a self parody, but at least you're amusing.
Oh thank you, most gracious sire. The kindness you show to a peasant is overwhelming.
