We celebrate George Washington today, not all presidents. With due respect to Zachary Taylor and Rutherford B. Hayes, a "President's Day" denigrates the father of our country by misconstruing the presidency as his chief accomplishment and by placing him alongside lesser men. One of those mediocrities currently holding the job Washington once held would be wise to examine why America celebrates a holiday dedicated to him. Read my column @ Human Events on the advice the first president offers the forty fourth. What would George Washington do?

If there could be a greater denigration to the office than the current occupant, I hope we never see it again in our lifetime.

For anybody interested, the article referenced in this post is now featured atop Real Clear Politics.

Congrats, if only for a limited time. I'm always amazed at just how much competition you have. Still, you have a unique voice and appear to be steadily rising to the top - good on you.

Let me know if you need the number of a good tailor.

Thank you for the kind words, Homer. For those more interested in my musings on pop culture than the ones on poilitics, I'll be writing more regularly on the former for the American Spectator starting this Friday. Alas, there will be no fashion columns--only fashion faux pas. A tailor would cramp my style.
