Happy William Henry Harrison Day!

Or is this day in honor of Milliard Fillmore day, I mean Franklin Pierce Day.

I think the concept of President's Day is ridiculous. We used to celebrate Lincoln's birthday on Feb 12th and then Washington's birthday on Feb 22nd. These are men who were instrumental in our nation's history.

Yes, Fillmore, Pierce, and Harrison as well as others all obtained the highest office in the land. They may have been upstanding individuals and statesmen but that doesn't mean they did a good job as President. They did not have the impact like a Lincoln or a Washington.

I'm sorry but Fillmore isn't the same as Lincoln or Washington.

Yet, President's Day honor's all of them the same.

And that's just plain silly.
