[Jeb Stuart Thurmond]

So, what are your plans for labor day?

Labor day, the annual orgy debauchery celebrating those too lazy and stupid to get a real job in management, investment, inheritence, or all of the above, is also a special time for True Christians™.

I, for example, give a gift to my maids, the gift of incentive to better themselves: I eat the foods that result in the stickiest, smelliest feces (I could write a whole cookbook on this subject) and then "accidentally" miss the toilet. Sometimes by a couple of feet, sometimes by a couple of rooms.

I have my cook re-make dinner over and over, saying it's not to my tastes. "Not enough diced onions!" then "The onions aren't diced fine enough!" then "I think one of your tears landed in the diced onions! Do it over!" I just love the sight of those labor-day tears.

I'm thinking this year Gold-level tithers and above should meet in Washington, to celebrate with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. It would be nice to help prop up their flagging spirits, after the horrible persecution workers have unleashed upon them:

Roughly 100 employees of the business association ran up an $8,204 tab this week at The Exchange, a sports bar just blocks away from its prime real estate opposite the White House...

...155 pitchers of beer, 37 bottles of beer, 208 mixed drinks, 111 shots, 43 margaritas and 11 open bottles of liquor. Sources who attended the party described it as something akin to a Cancun booze cruise. They reported that drinkers ordered multiple pitchers of vodka and Red Bull and full bottles that they drunkenly left behind at the end of the night...The bill...was reportedly several pages long.

Party-goers put some of the blame on the bar, saying that the waiters who served them had — among other things – slapped an 18 percent gratuity on the bill...In his e-mail, Chavern asked staffers to contact The Exchange to say that the Chamber will not be patronizing the establishment for the foreseeable future.

Is there nothing those greedy, all-consuming leeches in blue-collars won't stoop to?

UPDATE! THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TAKES MY ADVICE!

Once again, Landover Baptist leads the way! What we suggest today, happens tomorrow!

You call crapping all over the house like a dog that isn't housebroken and then expecting them to clean it up a GIFT?
I'm surprised they don't all quit and leave you to clean it up yourself.

Again, I'm surprised that she doesn't tell you to get your own damn dinner and quit on the spot.

For a group that size and a bill that size, 18% is a reasonable tip. After all, 15% is baseline. Many establishments automatically add an 18% tip to the bill for large groups to make sure the wait staff doesn't get stiffed. And wait staff are paid less than minimum wage, since they are expected to make a certain percentage of their income from tips, so with large groups, that tip is especially important to them.

A tip is just rewarding people for work they didn't do. TRUE Christians don't tip like they don't do any of that other secularist social Darwinist nonsense like unions or employee health care. People need to take responsibility for themselves.

Yes, incentive is a GOOD thing, not a bad thing as you communists think. People work to better themselves because they know they will get better treatment when they are wealthy. If you had your way and everybody was treated the same (communism) then nobody would bother doing any work. Being nice to workers traps them in poverty in just the same way welfare does.

I'm surprised they don't all quit and leave you to clean it up yourself.

Sometimes they do, but as long as our government is wise enough not to allow unemployment to drop below the natural rate of unemployment, I can always hire another.

Again, I'm surprised that she doesn't tell you to get your own damn dinner and quit on the spot.

She can, because free markets give her the freedom to choose. She can choose to dice my onions here, or she can choose to go back to Mexico and dig through garbage heaps for table scraps. She can choose to do whatever she wants.

Right, it's only reasonable for somebody who pours beer for a living to make $1250 over a couple of hours while, if they would let me get within 100 feet of a school, I could only make $50 during the same period as a teacher.

You know what this is? World's smallest violin, playing just for the waitresses.

Funny story: a mob of Iron Workers, Plumbers and Pipe Fitters, Laborers, Painters and Allied Trades and other hard-hat types showed up at the capitol, under the slogan "Pay a decent wage".

John McCain says no, better to hire illegal immigrants, because Americans are too lazy and greedy to pick lettuce for $50 an hour:

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN ®, ARIZONA: "Now, my friends, I’ll offer anybody here $50 an hour if you’ll go pick lettuce in Yuma this season and pick for the whole season. So — OK? Sign up. OK.
You sign up. You sign up, and you’ll be there for the whole season, the whole season. OK? Not just one day. Because you can’t do it, my friend."

Well, do the math, and he's right: if the average person works 40 hours a week and 50 weeks per year, that's 2,000 hours per year. At $50 per hour, you'd be making $100,000 before taxes.

$100,000 a year is just chump change, no American is frugal enough to work for that.

Yet the out-of-touch ivory-tower elitist liberal media had to have their say, contradicting McCain:

BILL TUCKER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): The average farm worker works for a below-poverty wage, earning $9,570 per year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. There is no argument it is hard, low-paying work.

NONSENSE! Who does he expect us to believe, a maverick man of the people like John McCain, or some out-of-touch ivory-tower elitist liberal media type who probably doesn't even know how many mansions he owns?
