There is another posting in the pipeline from last Thursday and hopefully we'll get to that one either later today or early tomorrow. But now let's talk about how this is John Lennon death weekend. The 38th anniversary of his death was last night, December 8th. They are playing all of the John Lennon favorites today on "Breakfast with the Beatles". Don't push me or I'll declare John Lennon's death day as another Federal holiday. Here is our proposal. Christmas and Newyears will remain unchanged. We're moving Martin Lither King Day from his birthday to the day he was shot in Memphis on April 4th or as near to the holiday and not have it fall on a weekend. It's a more memorable date and it will be easier to do marches rather than in the dead of winter. I will leave President's Day untouched. They had that "US Presidents" song sung to the tune of "Ten Little Indians" and it was done while Obama was President. Let's leave that song untouched. We then come to Memorial Day, which is also unchanged. I plan to move Daylight Savings Time back to the first Sunday in April like it was for twenty years from 1987 to 2006. This will bring that needed lightness to the mornings because the mornings are too damn dark otherwise. I'll leave the Fourth of July untouched as well as Labor Day untouched. We move to Thanksgiving, which I am moving to Columbus day as the second Monday in October. I'd like to rename this holiday indigenous people's day and it should be a day when we give thanks to the indigenous people for having slaughtered them all and stolen their land. This same weekend we are going OFF daylight savings time and returning to standard time. This once again will bring a little sunshine into those dark late October mornings around here and even worse in the rest of the country. There will be no Thanksgiving holiday in Nocember but we don't need it anyhow because we're already celebrating Christmas and the spirit of the holiday is over-shadowed. Then I want to make Election Day a holiday on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. I would keep Veterans Day but rename it back to the original Armistice Day to reinforce the desire for peace in the world. I think we've covered them all. I thought of making Superbowl Sunday a holiday but reconsidered.
On Friday Thom Hartman wanted to remind us of the deeds of the Bush Crime Family. It's funny how the reporters fawned all over George Bush 41 with praise normally reserved for some religious figure such as Ghandi or the Deli Lama. Nixon and Howard Hunt are connected with the Kennedy assasination but there aren't any established links of the Bush Crime Family to that one. Trump was very awkward at the Funeral on Wednesday because he's so used to being the center of attention in all media matters. Bush 41 did have some minor role in Watergate. The whole klan is one of privilege and special treatment by the laws of our land. The best thing you can say about the Bush family is that neither Bush 41 or 43 was near as bad as Donald Trump. That's not saying much. If you want to read more on my thoughts about George Bush 41 just read the posting right below this one.
