I think the idea of Presidents' Day demeans the truly great ones, like Washington and Lincoln. Sorry, but Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan don't warrant the same attention. On my blog I did a Lincoln stand-alone post on February 12 and a stand-alone Washington post will be shown tomorrow.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829127082846385987.post-68323636259558615812011-02-21T16:00:32.357-05:002011-02-21T16:00:32.357-05:00What a coincidence - I was just reading yesterday ...What a coincidence - I was just reading yesterday about Presidents' Day, in Bill Bryson's 'Notes from a Big Country'.

Now all you hear about is the generic President's Day, which bothers me because its very concept suggest that all presidents are equally deserving of history's reverence - which they are not. But now I'll get down from my soapbox and enjoy my day off.JDShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05360470068860788678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829127082846385987.post-54799239349342131432011-02-21T02:24:28.398-05:002011-02-21T02:24:28.398-05:00Enjoy your day!
