It's Labor Day, when one's thoughts turn to...job creation. And so it is that tomorrow at 10:30, the Chamber will hold its annual pre-Labor Day press conference with Chief Economist and all-around wise man Marty Regalia and long-time workplace policy guru Randy Johnson. There's not a duo in this town that knows more about the economy, the workplace and the dynamics of job creation than these guys.

And what will they say? Well, we don't want to steal their thunder but we can tell you they'll talk about how to create jobs (low taxes, fewer regulations, certainty) and how to kill jobs (higher taxes, more regulation, uncertainty). It really is that simple, folks. And this isn't theory. It actually works. Come hear the experts tomorrow from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. at Chamber HQ, 1615 H St.

This event is so important, in fact, that I'm coming out of blog retirement to be there, cover it and write about it here on ChamberPost. I tried a little Brett Favre, "Will he or won't he?" equivocation on the retirement thing but turns out nobody cared. Blog historians and suckers for punishment will recall that I started blogging way back in 2004 when it was done with chisel and stone. Those were tough times, brother. I started ShopFloor.org at the NAM, ably written by my friend Carter Wood since 2007. I was once called "the Beltway Blogfather" by some esteemed publication, but I was called worse than that by then-AFL-CIO President John Sweeney.

So I'll be posting periodically here on ChamberPost. Yes, I work for the Chamber - no different than the others who post here. By day I sit at Fleishman-Hillard, helping the timid and the downtrodden.
 
It's great to be back in the blogosphere.
 
Hey - by the way - where'd John Sweeney go....?
