The only holidays in February are Valentine's Day and President's Day.

Valentine's Day isn't even a real holiday. Nobody gets work off for it and you're expected to spend a ship-heap of money along with a bunch of other trapped, nervous and crowded couples professing their love at restaurants, bowling alleys, and sweat lodges.

President's Day? You never hear anyone talking about the "real" meaning of President's Day. And you don't see patriotic Facebook memes about how ALL our presidents are the holy embodiment of self-sacrifice. You only see partisan Facebook memes with faked photos of presidents in a backdrop of sewage treatment plants or disease-ridden livestock.

President's day is a tepid, watered down amalgam of Washington's birthday and Lincoln's Birthday. It's not even an occasion to barbecue.

What does this have to do with anything?

Nothing at all.
