Oh, I Forgot

Yesterday was "President's Day."

I ask: How did you celebrate it?

If you're like me, you didn't.

If you're like 95% of America, you didn't.

But if you "work" for the government, or you work at the bank, you celebrated President's Day by ignoring it, taking the day off from work, and doing stuff that you do every other day you have off.

Someone suggested long ago that President's Day is a holiday.

Coulda fooled us.

Once upon a time in America, there were real men who were real presidents. They believed in God, had principles based upon such antiquated rules of conduct as the Ten Commandments and believed they had a duty to serve the people they governed under the aegis of that other quaint and curious document, The Constitution. A little nudge to remember two of the greatest, Washington and Lincoln, is certainly in order. But, another holiday paid for with borrowed money is not.
