Happy President's Day!

Today is a national holiday here in the states. The banks and the government are closed, as are most of the school systems. It is supposed to be a day to remember our great presidents. This used to be one of two holidays designed to remember specific presidents: Washington and Lincoln. But the lazy decided they wanted more holidays and days off, and they wanted to add Martin Luther King, Jr. to the list of excuses for days off. But when they did so, that made too many days off, so they combined Lincoln's birthday and Washington's birthday into President's Day. So now we have to honor all the crappy presidents along with absolutely great ones like Washington and Lincoln. Soon, I'm sure, someone will be offended by this day off, and they'll demand it be replaced by some other made-up holiday (like Kwanza) or something.

Oh well. Such is today's society -- political correctness does rule, no matter how wrong it might be.

So, with at least 100 candidates announced, what is it you want to see in your next president? Don't limit yourself to the actual announced candidates -- other than yourself, who do you think would really do a good job? What do you think they should be capable of? What characteristics would you like to see in the next president of the United States?

1 I think more presidents should be like Millard Fillmore, i.e. they should perform in such a way that I won't be able to think of anything they've ever done.

A boring president is a GOOD president.
