For nearly two decades, I’ve thought President’s Day was observed in honor of both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. I have come to find out that is not entirely true. I don’t really care to expand on this, but let’s just say that this holiday is really more about Washington, and I think that is stupid.
Because Abraham Lincoln was given the short end of the stick on national holidays and not being shot in the back of the head, I present you with this dramatic otter reenactment of the moment after some asshole actor assassinated Lincoln. To all of you in the United States, have a happy President’s Day. To those of you who aren’t American, I hope you have a happy Monday.
PS – Here is an interesting bit of President’s Day trivia. Did you know that the state of Alabama does not celebrate President’s Day? It’s true; they have their own version of President’s Day, which they call “Washington and Jefferson Day.” Alabama wants it to be quite clear that they are not celebrating Lincoln’s presidency, because he outlawed slavery, and totally ruined their utopian society. Therefore, on this President’s Day, I would like to invite Alabama to go fuck itself. K.thx.bye.
