Yes, Monday is Labor Day, but now, courtesy of Clint Eastwood (and the Dumb Bastard in the White House), it’s also National Empty Chair Day!

Oh, I know, every day is Empty Chair Day for Obama and now we can salute the fact that we haven’t had a president for the past 4 years, we’ve had a Golfer-Divider-Amateur-in-Chief.

This is a special day where we can all participate! Here’s the plan: Set up your own empty chair, take a pic and send it in. Also, if possible, put an Empty Chair outside to commemorate the day. Post a link to your pic in Comments and we’ll post them in this main posting, or Tweet your pic using #tbrs and the official National Empty Chair Day hashtag #EmptyChairDay and we’ll get that posted here, too. Over at Legal Insurrection, they’ve already started! Click here for examples of what their readers have started to send in! You can tell there’s all sorts of things you can do to the Empty Chair to make a statement and make it your own

In the meantime, in honor of Clint Eastwood’s brilliance and to illustrate the absent, careless “president” we’ve endured for the past 4 years, I’ll be posting my own Empty Chair creation tomorrow. I hope you’ll join me and everyone else around the interwebtubes. I can’t wait to see what TAMs create!

Thought For The Day - 9.01.08

“Labor Day is a glorious holiday because your child will be going back to school the next day.
It would have been called Independence Day, but that name was already taken.” ;-) ~Bill Dodds


Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country, said Samuel Gompers, founder and longtime president of the American Federation of Labor.

The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.

In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a "workingmen's holiday" on that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.

“If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day Weekend.” ~Doug Larson

Hope you all have a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend!!
