Happy Washington's Birthday!

At least that's what they used to call this holiday, which actually used to be taken on Washington's Birthday and was historically the day you could get the best shopping deals in town in the seat of our National government and environs. Like most of our other holidays, however, it's been shunted off to make long weekends, all the better to increase shopping opportunities even more. Many folks do like the long weekends, but we sometimes long for the days when holidays actually fell on their actual dates and really recalled something in our history or traditions.

Wonker is off work today, tracking with the Feds, and a good thing, too, since a serious head cold is upon him. Light blogging until sinuses clear up, or until the Dems commit a fresh outrage. It is likely that the latter will take Wonk out of the sickbed sooner rather than later.

Put out the flag and enjoy your freedom of speech and right to free expression today. And be on guard for the radical mullahs who are trying to scuttle it. We shall overcome. Again.
