And when the Muslims hear about this, they’ll cut these guys’ heads off for suggesting it.

If it would result in a three week second term for 0bama, I’d support it. Otherwise it’s a waste of energy to even consider.

Sunday, Jan. 1
Sunday, Jan. 2
Sunday, Jan. 3
Sunday, Jan. 4
Sunday, Jan. 5
Sunday, Jan. 6
... Problem solved! Plus no work. (Not that anyone has a job.) Have to go to church every day, though. But at least the calendar issue would be solved for good.
