Thoughts: 07-September-2009

Today is Labor Day, a holiday that was created to honor the labor union movement in the United States. Traditionally when this holiday first started, the unions would have a big parade and end with a big picnic. Now it seems that tradition has gone by the wayside as most folks don't seem to remember why this holiday was created.

Penn State beat Akron convincingly and now gets to play Syracuse this weekend. Another blowout win for Penn State. This used to be a regular series and when Syracuse was a good team with Dick McPherson as their head coach it ended when Syracuse would not agree to Penn State's terms which would have more games at Penn State than at Syracuse, a move needed by Penn State for revenue reasons. McPherson went crying on all the networks about what a shame it was for this series to end, and then quit to sign on as the Patriots head coach which was a frakking two year disaster. Now that Syracuse sucks and needs Penn State as a draw, they are happy with whatever they can get.

In the comic strip, My Cage, Norm is back with Bridget only to find out Ashley did break up with her boyfriend. Well let's hope this turns out to be more interesting as opposed to predictable.

Oh well.
