It's September...
So what's going on, this Labor Day, traditional end of summer and beginning of the fall? It's the last crunch day before back to school, where child is running in circles trying to make sure she has everything she could possibly need. She says she's really looking forward to going to the new school....we'll see what she says next month or so :-).
What is going on in the world, this beginning of fall? Well, Iraq is in a total mess, with a civil war about to break out with US troops in the middle. The economy is in a mess still, and the administration is spending more time at pep rallies than doing anything about it. And 2/3 of the population can't name a democratic presidential candidate. So hey, what's the point? Nobody really cares.
