For 9.1% of the population, namely the jobless, Labor Day Monday will be a nightmare. It will start with the inundation of insipid Facebook posts by the gainfully employed about giving thanks to God for an extra day off. Sideways smiley faces will be the punctuation of choice. Next, what is typically a blissful day of contemplating going to the gym or thinking about reading a book will now be a regimen of hot dogs and hamburgers and listening to insignificant others talk about how much they are dreading going back to work. After enduring an endless barrage of office tales of sticky note pranksters and rotting lunches in the fridge, you pray for Tuesday and practice napping with your eyes open. TGIT! :)

Hurricanes blow… and suck. Our future lies in the hands of Anderson Cooper who will surely tie himself to a hotel rooftop and brave the storm for the mortal masses. Surprisingly, however, the 360 degree live coverage of screaming in the wind and rain will have many lulls. Digitally animated worst-case scenarios of German tourists canoeing down Broadway will definitely spike the attention-o-meter, but we’ll need more to keep us tuned in, and that red CNN rain slicker ain’t going to cut it. Anderson needs to wear something that is less staged-media-monster and more on-his-way-to-the-Hamptons-and-now-this. Something that will get the tweeting world a-tingling. Wet suede sneakers. Mysterious green jacket. Foreign languages on t-shirt. What’s it all mean? Something about hurricane safety, right?
