    Absurd notion of Presidents' Day indiscriminately honoring them all is like Alice in Wonderland: "Everybody has won & all must have prizes."

        @BeschlossDC @chucktodd And fitting with that idea, it was Richard Nixon who started Presidents' Day.

        @BeschlossDC There is a particular recent President who ought to be tried for war crimes. I certainly don't honor him.

        @BeschlossDC I will never understand the worship of R. Reagan. Really, when DO we think the Alzheimers had its onset. He was impaired.

        @BeschlossDC Besides everyone knows President's Day is really for the ski industry. Ask FLOTUS and the FDOTUS about that one.

        @BeschlossDC Deeply flawed men embedded in an airbrush of history...often in a sand blasted narrative.

        @beschlossdc Remember, President's Day is Washington and Lincoln's birthday combined so we can have MLK Jr.s birthday to please the blacks.
