Inspiration strikes!
I was checking out the usually entertaining Dilbert Blog, the first entry was this article about defeating terrorism.
It ended thusly:
Your challenge for today is to leave a comment that doesn’t rant about the good reasons for energy conservation or U.S. support for Israel.I left this comment:
Okay, I'll rant about President's Day.Anyway, the more I think about it, the more I think it's a good idea. So, write your congressman or senator or both! Let's get this silly and worthless holiday renamed!Who decided to rename it, anyway? I mean, Washington and Lincoln's Birthday, I can get behind that. Those guys were titans. But when you start calling it Presidents Day, you're lumping the great ones, like Lincoln and James K. Polk, with the duds, like Grant and Hoover.
I say we change it to "Good President's Day" and let everyone decide what "good" is. So that way, Republicans can celebrate Reagan, Democrats can celebrate FDR, and nobody has to celebrate Jimmy Carter.
(Note: I think I was the only guy who passed the challenge. Everyone else used this as an opportunity to bag on Israel, or bag on people who just bagged on Israel.)
