Mary Ann & Ginger at Denny's?

Big News

Authorities on Sunday announced the capture of al-Qaida's number 2 leader in Iraq. This guy is such a terror, rumor has it the Army may reactivate Lyndie England to guard him and take pictures.

Experts warned Sunday an obesity pandemic threatens to overwhelm health systems around the globe with illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease. And yet, at the same time, half the world is hungry and malnourished. Obviously, what the world needs most is a massive fat transplant.
- By the way, how does somebody get to be an obesity expert? Get a doctorate in lard?

- Monday is Labor Day. Democrat Chairman Howard Dean will throw the first Republican into the Lake of the Unknown Union Leader.

- What I've never understood about Labor Day: If it's to honor the working man, how come Republicans get a holiday, too?

September 4th Now and Then

Today is Labor Day in the U.S. and Canada, a day to honor people who actually do something, who keep producing day and day out, never complain, and very seldom even shoot their bosses.

I love Labor Day. In fact, I like any holiday that doesn't require me to eat yams.

The goofy comedy "Gilligan’s Island" premiered on television on this day in 1964. Wow. That means by now Mary Ann and Ginger are probably eligible for the senior citizen’s discount at Denny’s.

Ford introduced the Edsel on this day in 1957. When this car passed by it made people nervous. It looked like something long and sleek from outer space with its mouth open.

Robert Raikes was born in England on this day in 1736. Raikes invented Sunday School. I like Sunday School but it's weird -- everybody always passes, but nobody ever graduates.

Love & Learn

Parent Care - Columnist Marsha Seff's Toba passed way in August just six months shy of her 87th birthday. One of the most important lessons Marsha learned from her mom, says Seff, was to keep positive and remember that “Life is good.”

Bad Words, Good Beat Are Duet for Trouble - The biggest problem with the current wave of sexually explicit music is it simply isn't very good.

Editorial: Iraq - Simple, simpler, simplistic.

Et al.

I almost bought some air conditioned underwear, but I just don't think I'd feel safe adding freon to my shorts.
