Toady is, of course, Presidents Day. We are expected to celebrate our Presidents, even the ones who weren't that good or memorable. And we do that at the expense of the ones who truly do merit a certain reverence. Washington, Lincoln: you guys are as good as Millard Fillmore of James Buchanan.
That attitude is simply wrong. It does not aid our history and it does not honor the honorable. Indeed, it rather belittles the ones who deserve mention. It is a holiday which we ought to rethink.
