presidents need a day?!
i keep seeing this tv ad for presidents' day- well i guess it's not an ad for the day itself, it must be for a sale or something- and every time i see it i start wondering why the hell presidents need a day. i mean, every day that a president's in office is president's day, really, and even when he (when will i write those words and finally have to say 'he/she'?) leaves office, the pension is so exorbitant that it's more like a president's lifetime-of-luxury.
so why the hell do they need a whole other day? what exactly does this day celebrate? the fact that there have been presidents? history books aren't enough for these guys?
some of them weren't even any good. some of them we wish we could forget. some of them don't deserve to be thought of on the same day as the others (although i admit i'd be happy to never hear of any of them ever again- never met a politician i liked).
somebody, please tell me the point!
walk good.

I don't feel that any president deserves a designated "day" of any sort. God knows we have to put up with the bastards being thrown constantly in our faces -- on a DAILY BASIS -- by the press, which could probably construct some noteworthy story about him even taking a dump. The currently-reigning regime in the U.S. does not impress me but often scares me. (Just for the record, I am an American citizen).
You want to know the point, Elisha? Here's the point: I slept til noon yesterday and started drinking beer at 2 in the afternoon. I was able to do this because President's Day is a federal holiday.
Please feel free to rag on V Day all you want--but DON'T be messin' with my too-rare long weekends!
As for the actual reason for the holiday itself, I don't see what's wrong with celebrating two of our greatest leaders--of course I guess when you posted this you thought President's Day was for EVERY president.
