In honor of our second most ridiculous national holiday (after Columbus Day), here is a little humorous exercise to entertain. It makes me thankful to remember that we do, indeed, live in a country where we can poke fun of the guy in charge to our heart's content and not risk getting some part of the anatomy excised.
Yeah, yeah, I know - it's from one of those political blogs that chokes up the internet with semi-informed opinions passed off as the most important things ever written. But I do occasionally find some of their stuff amusing and fun to read - and I also respect anyone who can laugh at President's Day, a holiday that was apparently cooked up by auto dealers.

"I'm struck by the narcissism and banality of so many personal blogs." - Blaise Cronin, Professor and Dean, Information Science, Indiana University. Is corn the most banal thing possible? Certainly it's not narcissistic to think about and talk about corn. Perhaps I skew 100% banal, 0% narcissistic, then. So here it is - some thoughts about corn. Enjoy. It's nutritious!

The State of New York recognizes both Lincoln and Washington's birthdays as holidays. I used to have them as holiday times when I worked at SUNY; of course, we were open both days, so I just banked them as flex time (sweet!). At my current job, we don't get them at all. But they did give us the entire week between Christmas and New Year's Day off.
It all comes down to The Man wanting as much of your time as He can get. Stick it to Him by posting on blogs at work.
