Today is Presidents Day in the USA, a day when banks are closed, trash is not picked up, and many people get the day off as we recognize those who have held our nation's highest office.
Beyond the one-day holiday, many of our better, notable presidents are celebrated each and every day with a variety of roads, parks and structures named in their honor. Not much for Franklin Pierce or James Buchanan, but for the bigger names the examples are numerous:
The George Washington Bridge in NYC |
Jefferson Law School |
The Lincoln Highway, a.k.a. US Route 30 |
Aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt |
Roosevelt Island in NYC (for FDR) |
The Eisenhower Interstate Highway System |
The Kennedy Space Center in Florida |
Lyndon B. Johnson Memorial Grove, Washington D.C. |
Reagan National Airport in D.C. |
Barack Obama Elementary in Maple Hts., Ohio |
The Orange-Tufted Fraud currently holding the office will not be remembered fondly or honored in any such dignified fashion. And he certainly doesn't need our help slapping his name on things. It's already infamous, synonymous for failed casinos, shitty steaks, a scam "university," et al. But I think his name is most appropriately associated with this:
Donnie Doo-Doo Dog Poop Bags |
