Once again, the lefty labor-backed groupthink tank EPI is unleashing its annual Labor Day Report. It is, as always, full of gloom and doom. Their website really is a sad wasteland of bad news. In fact, we assumed "EPI" stood for "Eeyore's Policy Institute", since they're just so darned gloomy. All their subcategories -- cheery topics like minimum wage, offshoring, living wage -- lead to the other side of the tracks, to the hobo's shack. It's all just so very, very sad.

So this year, we thought maybe we could help them find a better title for their report. Here are a few of their titles from past years. We're working off of memory here, gang, so bear with us. They all might not be entirely accurate, but they're close:

-- "Labor Day 1998: Bad and Getting Worse"

-- "Labor Day 1999: Worse and Getting Worser"

-- "Labor Day 2000: We Know We Said It was Bad Last Year, But It Actually Got Much, Much Worse"

-- "Labor Day 2001: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit"

More below the fold....

-- "Labor Day 2002:There's Still Like Five People Who Aren't Doing Well In This Economy And This is Their Story"

-- "Labor Day 2003: We've Never Seen it This Bad"

-- "Labor Day 2004: Half Empty"

-- "Labor Day 2005: It'll Probably Rain"
