Shooting The Tube
The unidentified man is a member of the Board of Directors of a local surfing club. Not much is known about the man, except he has a propensity to call others "IDOTS" when he is upset with them. He allegedly pointed a gun at his wife, who escaped and called police, authorities said. A SWAT team surrounded the couple's house, and officers were able to talk the man out Tuesday morning after an all-night standoff.
He was charged Tuesday with second-degree reckless endangerment, and could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison if convicted. The man's wife told police her husband came home around 6:30 p.m. Monday after drinking at the Rib Trader, but that she didn't know if he was drunk, a sheriff's detective wrote in a criminal complaint.She said her husband drank a bottle of beer during dinner and they settled down to watch "Dancing with the Stars." When Palin, the daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, began her routine, the man jumped up and began swearing, saying something like "The (expletive) IDOTS politics." His wife said he was upset that a political figure's daughter was dancing on TV even though he felt she didn't have talent. She told officers her husband left the living room and reappeared 20 minutes later with his Luger, "raging" with his face bright red, and blasted the TV.
"He scared the bejebees out of me," she told police. She left the home and called police from a nearby lawyer's office, according to the complaint. The Internet has been abuzz in recent days about how Bristol Palin, who has consistently landed at the bottom of the judges' leaderboard, has been able to remain on the ABC show. Some have suggested that voters -- particularly supporters of her mother -- have been voting in blocs.

Who done it?
The mystery of a missile launch last night off the Southern California coast deepened today as U.S. military officials continued to deny that the missile was one of theirs. The unmistakable contrail streaking into the California sunset was captured on video last night by a KCBS news helicopter flying over Los Angeles at around 5 p.m. CNN

SAME SCHITT DIFFERENT DAY
Bill Barnars, Hi Ho Silvers, Art Lavagnino, and a host of others. Now she's diminished to cherry-pit spitting contests, horse-shoes, bocci ball tournaments, anything divorcing itself from the sport itself. I wish I'd anticipated this when I spent hard earned money to join. It's too late now. There's no use crying over spilled milk.

Labor Day
Labor Day: How it Came About; What it Means
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
Founder of Labor Day
More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.
Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
But Peter McGuire's place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, N.J., proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic.
