Vice Presidents Day 2007
When we were growing up, there were 2 holidays in February (our apologies to our readers south of the Mason-Dixon Line): Washington's Birthday and Lincoln's Brithday. To be politically correct to all citizens of our great country, the two holidays were combined to one and thus was born Presidents Day.
We want to bring back a second February holiday. We think that government and bank employees will forever love VicePresident.US if we succeed. Who deserves a holiday? Hmmmm. Who gets no respect? Rodney Dangerfield's birthday was November 22nd and that's too close to Thankgiving. I KNOW! The Vice President of the US. That's it!
We propose a new holiday: Vice Presidents Day! And we have the perfect day, February 11th (or the nearest Monday to it). Yes, that is the day that our current Vice President (quick, name him!) made history and shot a man. That seems like a fitting day to immortalize.
Write to your Senator and him or her to get a move on it. You know that they have to suck up to the Vice President as he gets to head up the Senate when he wants to or when they can't agree (he gets to break ties).
There is still time to get an extra day off next year! And just think, you can sit around all day and do what the Vice President does... oh wait, he doesn't do nothing. He shoots people and we do not condone that.
