Happy Fucking President's Day.

[Malthus]

Fucking President's Day? So a day to celebrate Clinton, Kennedy and FDR.

Probably not the only presidents ever to fuck.  Why, I bet even Lincoln did - he had kids - though I'd rather not picture it.

I love my Union. I get today off and a floating holiday for Lincoln's Birthday! 

I got the same only with no union crutch. Congrats on those dues you pay sucker.

In or Out I pay them, so might as well enjoy the added benefits of belonging.

  Like free market wages, for instance.

It is a rather useless Holiday, it is not celebrated in anyway and nothing happens except people get the day off.

They do?

Aside from the school kids I don't know of anyone getting the day off here.

My wife did.

You can learn Cantonese and go work with Mono 1.50 and hour if you like.

Day slightly better.

in order to reduce the number of public Holidays and to prevent any other President's birthdays from becoming Holidays we created one new one between Lincoln and Washington's birthdays.

  I will never understand Americans.

What don't you understand, the holiday that was created or the idea that they made one to prevent others?

1- that you'd ever reduce the number of public holidays.
2- that avoiding more future public holidays is good.
3- that there isn't OUTRAGE about this.


I for one think that Washington, Lincoln, both Roosevelts and Reagan deserve a holiday.

Unlike some people I won't take my inadequacies relating to yesterday's holiday out on Obama.

Sounds fun.  What did I miss?

Anywho, I'm kicking it with the wife & kid today.  I was counting on having some me-time since the wife was supposed to work & take Tommy to the sitter.  But they got snowed in, so there's no way I'm getting anything done.

Oh well, once Tommy gets his nap we're going tubing in the yard (I live on a hillside, which makes for some awesome kiddie-sized tubing/sledding slopes) & will then warm up with some hot chocolate.

I used the waste management recycling bins to make bricks for a snow fort earlier in the week. The fort still stands but needs repair.

Cute

There was outrage at first, but now only crazy right-wingers get itchy over it.

Lincoln would have made out like a bandit if he had access to internet dating.

I think most federal/state employees get the day off, and banks are closed.  So that's a decent # of people.
