Keep It Real

Just a reminder that today, February 22, 2009, is the day recognized as the 276th anniversary of George Washington's birth. Most people have forgot it, given that some years ago we lumped it together with Lincoln's birthday to create the bland, artificial President's Day. What almost nobody knows is that February 22 wasn't really Washington's birthday at all, since he was actually born on February 11, before we adopted the Gregorian calendar. Let's rise up as a people and demand Congress stop screwing with the calendar. That way we don't need to be distracted by petty stuff like the economy, wars on foreign soil, and global harming.
