"Happy Labor Day, Lenny!" In case you’re wondering what that’s all about, it’s what was inscribed on a cake in The Simpsons’ refrigerator. It was so random yet so funny! Other best line is when Bart caught the formerly-engaged Skinner and Krabbapel together in a hotel room :

Bart : "I thought you two broke up."
Krabbapel : "Eh, this means nothing."
Skinner : "Yes, you’ve made THAT very obvious!"

Lots of scuffles broke out this weekend. None of which involved me. First there was the fight in Detroit between some Indiana Pacers and the Detroit fans. Talk about people not knowing how to behave! Commissioner Stern (David, not Henry) threw the book at many of the players including Ron Artest, suspending him for the entire season. I say, good for him! Even if you are provoked, you NEVER cross the line by entering the stands and attacking fans. Artest said it was self-defense but come on – he was hit by a beer! Boo hoo. The reality is that Artest and many of his teammates are a bunch of spoiled, undisciplined punks. The other weekend fight happened in Chile between Bush’s secret service and Chilean security. They didn’t want to let the secret service agent accompany Bush into a building so Bush had to personally go over and settle things. I was hoping that the Chilean security guy would throw a beer at Bush. Then maybe Bush would have attacked him and W would have been suspended for the season as well! We can always hope.
