While I'm in the camp of Presidents' Day being an amalgamation of Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays. I hear tell that there is a third camp celebrating President's Day which only honors George Washington. This third camp is wrong. If we only wanted to celebrate Washington, we never would have created a Presidents Day. Just kept calling the holiday Washington's Birthday like we did when I was a wee lad.
The third camp is in fact RIGHT. This holiday is designated as "Washington’s Birthday" in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees. What those commie states do with it is their business.
Now, I am actually in the 5th camp. I think we've got too damn many federal holidays and the only way to get this great country out of debt is to work more. Therefore, I humbly suggest we combine Washington's Birthday, Martin Luther King Day, Columbus Day, Memorial Day and Christmas into a single holiday and call it 'Dead People's Day', where we honor all of our dead people. That includes All Dead Presidents and All Dead Civil Rights Leaders and all Dead Messiahs. Later we can combine Veteran's day, Labor Day and Thanksgiving. I don't have a good name for that day.
