Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) is a disgusting, wretched scumbag:

I guess my brother Tommy, a cavalry officer and Notre Dame graduate, really should have stayed in school. Maybe he could have made something of himself.

Today is Labor Day, a day when Americans celebrate the contributions of organized labor, which include the following:

• Globally uncompetitive automobiles,
• Weekly airline bankruptcies,
• Unionized millionaire baseball players, and
• the Democratic Party.

Thanks, Commies. I’m spending this Labor Day by laboring.

Rally, sons of Notre Dame:

Expectations will be sky high in coach Charlie Weis’ second season. Brady Quinn to Jeff Samardzija should again be one of best passing threats in nation, and RB Darius Walker should shine on ground. Defense should be better with nine starters, including DB Tom Zbikowski, back. Season finale at Southern California could be Irish’s most important game in years.

That’s probably true. The later it gets in the season, the more a loss hurts. But that’s not peculiar to ND/USC.

Simply put, a lot of Trojans fans are going to be disappointed this season. USC will have a fine year, but they won’t make a run at the national championship. USC is going to disappoint a lot of people this year. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a hell of a team, but there are problems. They’ve just lost too much talent and they still have to figure out the quarterback role.
That said, they’re still a force to be reckoned with, and anything can happen in the ND/USC game.

I gave her a bunch of hell for taking the Nerdmobile to Geektown, but I bet it was actually pretty fun.

Wait until Laurence hears about this one:

For Rodney and Scottie Colvin, it was been a nerve-racking eight days. Their cat, “Piper,” scampered up a tree in the yard of their Summerville, South Carolina home last Monday, March 13.

Efforts to coax the animal down failed. A week later, on Monday, March 20, would-be rescuers came to Piper’s aid. Then, something went terribly wrong, but this time all was okay in the end.

The cat fell nearly 80 feet, clipped a branch on the way down and then landed on its feet and ran away. Piper, no doubt, used up at least a couple of his feline nine lives, but otherwise appeared to have survived the ordeal without serious injuries.

Here’s the video.
