happy (belated) labor day
...very belated, since the rest of the world celebrates May 1st--as Omar is fond of reminding me--and we have to wait until the first Monday in September.
The credit for this post goes to Dave. He was at his favorite thrift store last week, looking for some back-to-school clothes to "wow" his students with. At the checkout counter, the cashier slipped a flyer into his bag announcing that the store would be open on Labor Day. Dave asked her why she had to work on the holiday. She replied, "We no want. But, they want." That pretty much sums up the state of things.

Cathy, how many times should I tell you that the first of May is not "labor day" but "workers day". Only capitalists celebrate "work", whereas the working class celebrates itself (for what's worth it).
