Started out as a Good Idea

President's Day.

It started out honoring Washington & Lincoln exclusively.

Now it includes good Presidents, but also includes Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Warren Harding, Richard Nixon ... and soon George W. Bush.

We are the mediocre presidents.
You won't find our faces on dollars or on cents!
There's Taylor, there's Tyler, there's Fillmore and there's Hayes.
There's William Henry Harrison, ``I died in thirty days!''
We... are... the... adequate, forgettable, occasionally regrettable
Caretaker presidents of the U-S-A!

Can you imagine Disney World when they add the animatronic Bush and for the first time, the robot is smarter, more eloquent and less stubborn than the original?


(caveat -- apparently it is already there, I find the "Hall of Presidents" concept the creepiest thing in the universe - I hear Animatronic John Tyler has wondering hands)
