THE OBAMA HOLIDAY
Posted by Andrew Roman on November 10, 2008
If you’ve ever wondered what Kansas liberals do to fill the empty pockets of spare time in their lives – and who hasn’t – well, wonder no more. (I’m always happy to help when I can).
From the Topeka, Kansas Capital-Journal on Sunday:
Me and Abe
Plans are being made to promote a national holiday for Barack Obama, who will become the nation’s 44th president when he takes the oath of office Jan. 20.
“Yes We Can” planning rallies will be at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. every Tuesday at the downtown McDonald’s restaurant, 1100 Kansas Ave., until Jan. 13. The goals are to secure a national holiday in Obama’s honor, to organize celebrations around his inauguration and to celebrate the 200th birthday of President Abraham Lincoln, who was born on Feb. 12 1809.
At 7:30 a.m. on Inauguration Day, Obama Cake will be served at the downtown McDonald’s, and a celebration is scheduled for 8 p.m. to midnight Jan. 20 at the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center, 420 S.E. 6th.
I wonder if Abe will get top billing.
And no, I didn’t make this up.
This is one of those “make up your own punch line” posts – although I can ssure you, I stopped laughing when Ohio went blue last Tuesday night.
Has anyone considered renaming one of those liberal states with a stupid, multi-syllabic, antiquated name – like Massachusetts – something more Messiah-friendly?
Like maybe Obamachusetts?
