BUAHAHAHAHA, Reagan's birthday WILL NEVER BE A HOLIDAY!!!!

[Walt Starr]

February 6 is just too damn close to "President's Day" to ever turn Raygunzzzzaaaappp's birthday into a national holiday!!!


BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[bkcc]

1. as much as I hate to say it...

Don't bet on it.

[Straight Shooter]

2. They'll eliminate President's Day and change it to Reagan Day

"Oh, sh*t," says Walt, "I hadn't thought of that." :)

[Walt Starr]

4. Oh c'mon. Am I the only one to remember why "President's Day" exists?

Seriously, there used to be a seperate holiday for Washington's Birthday (February 22 under the Gregorian calendar) and Lincoln's birthday (February 12). Washington's was a national holiday and Lincoln's was a state holiday in many states (including the state I grew up in).

"President's Day" is the compromise name combining the celebration of both birthdays. It has since come to be the day to celebrate ALL presidents, ergo, there can be no Reagan Day.

5. Yep, and lost one paid holiday in the process too n/t

[comsymp]

16. I thought that was also when they added MLK Day...

The Presidents' Day compromise was to cut back a holiday in order to accommodate the new one... maybe my memory is just faulty here?

3. If the repukes want to make his b-day

a holiday...it will be a holiday. :puke: They control the government. :(

[mopaul]

6. I just want a day off in_cog_ni_toreagan...............n/t

[elperromagico]

7. If they do turn it into a holiday, you can still take the day off...

but just call it Babe Ruth Day.

... or Bob Marley Day,
or Zsa Zsa Gabor Day,
or Mike Farrell Day,
or just call it Fart Day. ;)

13. Fart Day

I don't wanna ask how Fart Day will be observed.

8. Damn it!

[elperromagico]

9. This country needs a Ronnykmarshall Day.

;)

[ewagner]

10. From here after

Feb 6 shall be known to DUers as Ronny K Marshall Day

[ronnykmarshall]

15. I'll second that!

[greekspeak]

11. Every saint gets his or her own feast day

Ronnies should be June 5th. I am working on a hymn to be sung each day on that year.


Holy Holy Holy St. Ronnie Almighty/He brought down communism with one swift blow of his mighty axe/his optimism was a blessing to many a homeless person and school child who only had to starve a little/Why don't we all have some of the Holy Communion of St. Ronnie/Ketchup and Gov'ment Saltines/One fine day we will all be reunited in Heaven with his most high holiness.

[Gin]

12. Never say never...

14. The way they're carrying on about him, I wouldn't be surprised

if they changed his birthday to Dec. 25th

[playahata1]

17. For me, that day is crowded enough as it is.

On that day I GLADLY celebrate the birthdays of BOB MARLEY (One Love!) and BABE RUTH -- two FAR WORTHIER icons than the Gipper.
