You could make a similar argument for Saturday and Jewish people.  So a holiday then.

Can't do Friday either, since Muslims.

Damn, we really do not have a lot of days for this once we cut out all the holy days.

Monday. I don't know of any religions who's holy day is Monday. Plus, works well for a holiday since that gives us a three-day weekend.

All the more reason to make it a Holiday. That way their owners have more time to serve them.

Man, I can't wait until all the political ads stop. Seriously, we need to put limits on them.

The monday following or part of every 3 day weekend is hangover day. The most nauseating and head-achy of all blasphemydays. This will disenfranchise the hedonist and heavy drinking demographics as they struggle to make it to the polls in their pajama's after visiting waffle house.

the second was some thing about a chameleon that changed colours and sounded more like a little kid's story.

You have ads about Mitt Romney?

We get lots of ads around every other corner during voting seasons. However they're never attack ads and they're only posted on specific billboards, one next to another, always at the same place every time.

I think I like it that way because I know where not to look.

But then how can our cat overlords make decisions? They need peace and quiet.

I have seen maybe 8 political ads total, 5 in the last 3 days. NYC is sadly lacking political ads. Worse part is they aren't even for us, they're for out-of staters who work in the city.

Here in Michigan we only got ads for local ballot measures and the current Senate race, since the House ones were so lopsided it didn't matter and the state was too Democrat to bother "swinging".

That changed about a week ago, and now not a day goes by without a barrage of Obama or Romney ones. Is Michigan a swing state again now, or are the candidates just making sure they're covering their bases?

Being in Washington, I only see senate/gubernatorial/local DA and county prosecutor commercials, with the fun fear-mongering [about nothing relevant] ones mixed in like I've mentioned before.

A new poll out has Obama and Romney tied in Michigan, but Real Clear Politics has Obama up by 4. The Obama campaign probably wouldn't have increased spending there unless there was some concern.
