Americans still work more than anyone else, that is, if we have jobs at all. For freelancers and temps, it's just another unpaid day off, and moronic economists are still using the oxymoronic phrase "jobless recovery." Happy Labor Day.

Also, Ford is going to stop making electric cars because no one's buying them and our government would rather drill in wildlife refuges and wage war on Middle Eastern countries than support alternative transport (like, oh, say, the train). Ironically, Ford is going to manufacture a hybrid SUV -- if we're lucky, it will only guzzle as much gas as a normal car.

Surly Jen.
