Don’t get me wrong, I revere Gerald Ford as much as the next person (I’m in Palm Springs now for crying out loud, what more can I do to show my respect?), but did we really need Congress to declare an additional random federal holiday today? I needed to go to the post office today is the main reason I noticed this, but here’s the thing:
There wasn’t a special federal holiday for Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon or Lyndon Johnson. Will there be one for Jimmy Carter, George I or Bill Clinton? Probably. Now that it’s been done once, everyone will read this blog and clamor for it. Oh well.
