Happy Grand Leaders Day

For most of us who have cushy government jobs tomorrow is a holiday honoring our grand leaders for their service. As an American, I've always felt a little uneasy about this holiday. It seems awful close to old Soviet holidays honoring their revolution or something right out of North Korea. But this one is a little more tame when it comes to actually honoring anything substantial. It began as an honor of George Washington's birthday. Then later amended to include Lincoln. And pretty soon will include Reagan if the neocons get their way. I propose though that if we do include Reagan in the holiday that we give him his own. We could call it Super Patriot Serious Tough Guy President Day. It would make no sense to have Reagan share his day with Washington or Lincoln, who did nothing to end the Cold War.
