This tends to get lost in the bland consolidation of what we now know as Presidents Day, but Happy 278th Birthday, General.

Thank goodness GW was available and willing to do all the heavy lifting.

Re: Happy Birthday, President Washington
Sadly, the truly great men who founded and bled for this nation are nothing more than a meaningless bank holiday. MLK and modern day heroes get the special days now. If you are a darling of the PC establishment, you are celebrated. If you are merely a truly great leader who made the freest nation in earth's history... you were merely a minor player.
God help us when we find our special Monday holiday celebrating Barry Obama's b'day.

The fact that MLK has a holiday, but GW does not, is a Cultural War Crime.

I'm sure Washington would be too polite to quibble about this (particularly at his age), but he was actually born 279 years ago.
