From what I understand, today is a State Holiday in Germany. Maybe this whole separation of Church and State thing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. You’d think if a schmuck like Columbus gets a holiday, they could come up with a little something for a combined Easter/Passover day off. One of the planks of my platform when I run for office will be finding at least one holiday (and by holiday, I mean paid day off) every month. President’s Day to Memorial Day is an ungodly stretch of no days off, and it’s time for this national shame to end. Of course, I’ll also be pushing for a three-day work week (though I might be willing to compromise on four), and then there’s my flexible daylight saving time plan, where we fall back every morning and then spring ahead every afternoon.

A 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Mexico yesterday could be felt in Arizona and California. Great, now we’re even outsourcing our earthquakes to Mexico.

I managed to make it through the weekend without buying or ordering an iPad. Sure, I feel like an underprivileged, third-world person, but it’s the first 48 hours that are the most difficult. It gets easier from here on out. It’s just fortunate that I have no desire to pay $4 for a cup of shitty coffee, ‘cuz I’m sure all the cool kids at Starbucks will be flashing their pads today.

Damn, where has the morning gone? Time to make the donuts.
