Man, that was a rocking Presidents’ Day.

Good times, I guess, for federal employees. Maybe the TVA execs got a helicopter ride.

As for Monday, did you know Presidents’ Day is still called Washington’s Birthday by the federal government? All things considered, that seems like the best fit.

Since the days of George Washington, it feels as if the unity of the our nation has fluctuated like a teenager’s mood.

Remember when W stood for the “worst”? How about when Clinton was facing impeachment? Or when wild rumors circulated that Ronald Reagan was in a coma or Barack Obama was not a U.S. citizen?
