President's Day???

Happy President's Day.. I think.

Why are we celebrating President's Day

on February 16th?  I know.. some idiot

thought it would save government money

if they did it on ...what?? second Monday?

It makes no sense.. First of all, when I was

young.... I know, I know...no one wants to

hear those words.... but still... At least I

knew it was Lincoln's birthday on the 12th

of February....and I knew that it was

Washington's birthday on the 22nd of February.

How the heck are the kids suppose to know

with this type of stuff...

Oh, I get it.. the schools and government

don't care if the kids know when Lincoln

and Washington were born. That is not

important anymore.  So why did WE, have to

know when it was? It was on many test, as

we grew up and had civic classes and history.

And I suppose that now, that it is called

President's Day, that  includes  ALL Presidents.

Why bother?  Presidents aren't as important

as they use to be. Now they are just some

one to hold up to ridicule....be it Obama or

Bush.  So why bother...

HEY, I got an idea.. why not have employee birthday
day off...  that way it is staggered.. or if they want to 
do it all the same day.. how about the last day of 
June.. that way it is in the middle of the year. 
After all the place I worked at did that.. because we
didn't get holidays off.. You had to put in 2 months 
ahead if you wanted a holiday off.. other wise we got
paid time and half. 

President's Day cancelled.. due to lack of interest.
