President's Day Is Such A Fucking INSULT!
:grr:

yeah i have off today as does the Mrs. we are going out for a nice lunch later and to visit friends.

but i am PISSED!

we shouldn't just LUMP all our Presidents together! we need to have INDIVIDUAL holidays for our nations leaders! we should have a national holiday for EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM!

let's set aside February and March and EACH day can celebrate another President. we will just have BOTH month's off completely!

every 4 to 8 years we get another holiday added on.

sound like a plan?

1. And then you could tailor each holiday to the particular president.
Not sure what you'd want to do to commemorate THIS president.

But hey, I've just thought what you could do to celebrate Clinton. :think:

But I will take a cigar.

7. I reckon this could be the full six day effort
It began really slowly on Friday, and it seems to be touring my body. :(

I'll probably be okay by Thursday. Hopefully sooner. :hug:

No, it wasn't your slippers keeping me awake last night. ;)

11. I always call my wife at work on prez day...
And tell her to remind her fundie co-workers that her husband wants them to know he's enjoying Bill Clinton day. It makes them froth at the mouth for the rest of the day, and brings a huge smile to my face.

16. As I sit here at work...

Now when is that "Governor's Day?"

19. what kind of values are you teaching your kids?
make them get out in the fields and plow or have them raise a barn or something! plant corn or milk the cows!

kids should NEVER have days off! :D
