Today, I’ll be celebrating Labor Day by mostly …. not laboring. Instead, I’ll have this classic episode of The Ed Morrissey Show with Duane “Generalissimo” Patterson of the Hugh Hewitt Show, and Michelle Malkin. A week ago, the Boss joined us to talk about Culture of Corruption, the book that has been at the top of the NYT best-seller list for five straight weeks. Why do people find this so relevant? Michelle explains the obvious, talks about the series of entirely predictable scandals, and checks up on us to make sure we’re all working. Look busy!

I’m putting the chat room into the post in case anyone wants to gather for a bit today. (And if the log-in prompt doesn’t come up in the chat box below, use this link instead.) Jazz Shaw of The Moderate Voice and The Monster moderate the chat during the week, but today, I’m not sure we’ll have anyone running things, but behave … and look busy …
