The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that plans are underway for a national holiday commemorating Barack Obama. Precisely what this dilettante has done to deserve a national holiday other than show up and vote present quite escapes me.
If anyone deserves a holiday in honor of this "historic" moment it is the 52% of the eligible, ineligible, and fictitious cohort that voted for him. Maybe they deserve that attaboy. So 1 in 10 graveyard headstones will have a holiday from inexorable deterioration.
I voted for the other guy (you know, the second worst option, who is currently pissing upon his reputation of "honor" by allowing his former aides to defenestrate his running mate in a wretchedly callow and calumniatory manner). Therefore I'll decline to participate in this particular holiday. Partly because someone has to keep up the productivity levels to pay for these free mortgages, but mostly because I already take January 21st off every year in order to drink Rebel Yell, inadvertently lacerate myself in ceremonial bullwhipping sessions, and celebrate the birth of Thomas J. Jackson. It's my personal version of a Stonewall Riot.
Complete with "Obamacake"? Oh my God!

Posted by: skippystalin at November 9, 2008 11:02 PMMrs. Palin jumped right out that particular window all by her ownself, if you ask me. McCain lost me the minute he trotted her out & she started winking. Good grief -- the woman couldn't tell us what she reads to get information -- in fact I think all she CAN read is a teleprompter. Shattering the glass ceiling, my Aunt Fanny. She hasn't got the education or the experience or the gray matter between the ears for the job. Run Key -- I'd vote for her in a heartbeat! Yeah, McCain should keep his cohorts in line -- but that was a lost cause from the gitgo. IMHO
