Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

So Obama wangled a golf outing with Tiger Woods, because of course, he's the ONE and for the rest of his life will have access to whomever/whatever he wants because of it. can you imagine how disgusting that twosome was? it's a wonder the airspace wasn't constricted by those two hubristic BIG HEADS in the same area.

There is no such thing as President’s Day.
Today the federal government is observing a national holiday for George Washington’s Birthday.

Of course, through revisionist history and a publicity campaign to make the holiday about all of our presidents rather than our first president, the dumbed down establishment has wangled the false monicker of "President's Day".

Obamacare was enacted via wangle
By Barry touting all the free stuff he could dangle
“Pre-existing?” No sweat
“You’ll be covered!” (Wanna bet?)
Red-tape and higher costs will start to strangle

Mentioning Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter on a holiday that celebrates the likes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan surely must have the latter four spinning wildly in their graves.

It is cloudy and 61 here-springlike weather, but it can’t be trusted-I’m guessing it will freeze a few more times, because the liveoaks aren’t blooming and shedding leaves yet...

He was able to wangle an invite
To play golf with Tiger Wood,
So Obama is down in Florida
Which isn’t doing any good

Not that he does any better
When he’s in Washington, DC-
He and his capos are taking
The last dollar from you and me

Based on that, maybe it is best
That he’s free to pack up and roam-
The money spent on his travels
Would be less than having him home...

on a holiday that celebrates the likes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan

As much as I love Reagan, this holiday does not celebrate him or TJ or Lincoln (or billy jeff, or FDR, or W or any other president in conjunction with Washington). Congress has never passed any change in the legislation that established Washington's birthday as a national holiday. Even the Monday Holiday Act, which changed the day of observation of most Federal holidays to Monday (the exception being Armistace/Veteran's Day), did not rename Washington's Birthday to President's Day. While some suggested combining Washington's Birthday with and Lincoln's Birthday due to their proximity on the calendar to a "President's Day" holiday, that suggestion was never codified into the Federal Register. Thus, Washington's Birthday is STILL Washington's Birthday and NOT "President's Day".

“Washington’s Birthday is STILL Washington’s Birthday and NOT “President’s Day”. Thank you very much-I was saying that to a fellow hiker this morning...

If you know what ‘crepe-myrtles’ are, watch them. Until they start to bloom winter is still with us. There is an old saying that nature cannot fool crepe-myrtles. Other tress, bushes and plants may start to bloom before the end of winter but not the crepe-myrtles.

They have wangled their way into the history books in a most unusual way.

You may want to interdigitate and think about that for awhile.
