Happy Labor Day!
Since our founding editor’s “man credentials” are pretty much indefinitely suspended at this point, there’s no harm in disclosing the fact that he’s spending his Labor Day snuggled up under the covers with Mrs. Sic watching the latest Renee Zellweger flic.
That’s right, people … it’s called New in Town and (go figure) it’s a romantic comedy.
So … how many additional “man points” will this flagrant “manfraction” cost him? We’ll have to wait until our new “man-visor” Steve V. returns to assess the damage … although in Sic Willie’s defense the Florida State-Miami game wasn’t on at the time, and he was already caught up on his Sportscenter highlights.
Anyway, the movie is cute and funny, and Zellweger is her usual adorable (and leggy) self. Seriously, people. Her amazing stems alone are worth the price of admission …
Yowzas! Who’s losing “man points” now, baby!
The flic also (coincidentally) has a labor-management angle to it as Zellweger plays a Minnesota plant boss while her love interest (played by Harry Connick, Jr.) is the local union representative. Awwwww … (not).
In case you’re wondering (we weren’t), Labor Day was first celebrated in the United States in 1882. And like all pseudo-socialist things, the idea comes from Canada.
Zellweger’s legs? Those come from Texas …

This one I will take it easy on you….since I had to sit through it a while back. Well, at least half of it since it bored me to sleep. Punishment? A stern warning and now you must watch the Cincinnati-Rutgers game @ 4 pm today. ( I know, Big East football this year is as bad as any Zellweger movie) This will give you time to think about what you have done.

“Awwwww … (not).”
Yep, there’s nothing more clever these days than adding that three-letter word “not” after something you don’t really mean.
I predict that it will never get old, never die and will always be considered sparkling wit.
P.S.
The great thing about Rene Zellweger is that you can blindfold her with two grains of fried rice.
