How About Some Honesty for This "Holiday"?

First, only government workers bankers, and schools  will be off work tomorrow.  The rest of the productive world will be slaving away as usual.   And the retail outlets will be doing their normal money-grubbing to celebrate the day properly.

But as this report shows, it is not really President's Day that is being celebrated, but George's day.  Well deserved believe me but it should be known that Abraham Lincoln who had a much more difficult presidency (to say the least) is officially left out of this holiday.
