Just have to say I'm pissed I'm not getting my mail on Friday.

And I still have to go to work.

Are the frickin' banks closing too? :grr:

1. I hope the banks aren't closed

I'm suppose to get paid

11. Hi traco!!

2. Makes me happy!

One less day I have to walk to the mail box & retrieve bills!

[BurtWorm]

3. You do have a point there.

;)

4. I don't know for sure, but banks usually abide by the Fed dictate.

I'd bet they're closed too.

I don't like the "National day of mourning any more than you do, but I still remember the JFK assasination and I think we had the Feds closed then too.

Let the Pubs have their day, and maybe they;ll shut up for a while.

5. How about for Eisenhower, Johnson and Truman? Or Nixon?

Those are the standards I'd gauge by. Kennedy's assassination was a trauma in a way the others were not. He was taken--violently--in the middle of his term. The nation needed to absorb that in a way it didn't need to with the deaths from old age of the others.

I still don't know if this is protocol, even after reading a NY Times article allegedly about "Precedent."

7. Giving the republinazis what they want ...

... never shuts them up. Like the spoiled children that they act like, they always want more.

6. Very proud of my governor

McGreevey in New Jersey, who refused to make today a state holiday.

8. No mail. No paycheck.

One more reason to love Reagan.

9. Chicago Tribune says some banks here will be open...

...but that means others will be closed. State, city and county offices here are open, even though Gov. Blagoevich yesterday admitted he voted twice for Ray-goon.

10. Damn, thanks for reminding me

We had stuff hanging on the box for the mailman to take, now I'll have to take it to a box.
