Happy Nixon Day!

Well, hello dear readers. Shade of Richard Milhous Nixon here. I was finally able to get Keilholtz distracted enough for me to take over the blog for a minute. I have been asked about what I think of this Presidents' Day business, and, let me say this about that:

I am all in favor of Presidents' Day, because it is really Richard M. Nixon Day, and I deserve a National Holiday. The reason it is my day is because it takes the gutless modern road of not wanting to honor great men (and, believe you me, Lincoln was my man!) and to instead honor the abstraction of the Presidency.

Now, no other man in American history, besides maybe LBJ, understood that the Presidency is above the Man. It is also above the Law, because whatever the President does, is the LAW. And if you don't go along with that, Jeb, Howard, and G. Gordon would like to have a little chat with your psychiatrist!

Yes, to celbrate the office of President, rather than particularly important holders of that office means that either you are saluting nitwits like Carter and Kennedy OR you are saluting my concept of the Presidency, which means you are saluting ME, Richard Milhous Nixon, the Greatest President Who Ever Lived!

Long Live Me!

Now, I have been told that I have an important meeting on the sixth level, so I have to go back down, now.
