Columnist mocks Labor Day and recounts drunken weekend in Ann Arbor
The author describes a booze-filled weekend in Ann Arbor, criticizes Labor Day as a communist-tainted holiday, and pledges to continue anti-left commentary.
Arriving in Ann Arbor on Friday night, the columnist found the city without electricity and spent the evening drinking with friends, including Kevin Downey Jr., at a Moose lodge in Dearborn Heights. After the power returned, they continued consuming alcohol at a restaurant he labels “pinko” and later identified bird calls using a new app. Throughout the weekend, he lampoons Labor Day as a “garbage holiday” co-opted by communists and reiterates his commitment to anti-left commentary on one outlet.
He also describes encountering elderly protestors holding signs about democracy and President Trump. The author concludes by encouraging readers to enjoy their day while he continues his “commie-bashing” mission.
