Dear Readers: If you are laboring on this Labor Day, the Goddess of Capitalism hopes that you are being profitable. Today has been designated “Empty Chair Day“. Professor Jacobson over at Legal Insurrection is celebrating, by publishing pictures from around the county featuring empty chairs. This has been a clever extension of the “Eastwooding” Twitter campaign that began in the wake of Clint Eastwood speech at the Republican National Convention.

From the Professor:
The Twitter hastag is #EmptyChairDay. A Facebook page Eastwooding Obama (added, also National Empty Chair Day) has been set up.
Here is my contribution to the efforts. The quality of the photo is questionable — but I hope you all enjoy the snark!
The Goddess would be pleased to add more images! Please post links to your items in the comments section, or email them to mutnodjmetlpe at gmail.com and I will upload them as I get them.
