    Isn't BOGO mostly a fashion sales pitch. But if it makes you look great (as it does) is it really crap - possibly last years style.

    Wikipedia - that sorta accurate place of wisdom indicates it became President's day in 71 as the 3rd Monday of Feb. I thought it was to celebrate both Washington and Lincoln. Prior to that - government workers, schools, and banks got two holidays in Feb, but rarely on a Monday.

    In 1968 the Uniform Monday Holiday act, strongly promoted by the Skiing, sunny resort, and tourist promotion act changed 4 holidays - Presidents, Memorial, Columbus, and Veterans Day to always occur on Mondays so Government employees, schools, banks, and big companies could have more 3 day weekends to hop on planes and party at a destination. MLK day added in 83 followed the same. So from that day on - Lincoln and Washington no longer have a celebration on their birthday, and probably no spot in public education either.

    Back when papers were on dead trees there were a lot of good sales on P day, it doesn't seem so now. Hard to get the flyers out about it.

    There is no FEDERAL holiday called President's Day. Today's holiday is Washington's birthday. States, principalities and car dealerships came up with this Prez's day stuff.

    It won't be so funny when the president of China plays the same trick for real with the USA.....

    I hope that's a joke.

    Neither of them are socialists and as it's often been said here before, most Americans wouldn't know a real socialist if it crawled out of the trash and bit them on the leg.
