If that is what the Perry County folks want then let them go for it. An additional Holiday now and then does not hurt anyone.

Anyone having a problem with this is just probably jealous.

This is the most absurd poll I have ever seen. If it came from WHNT, someone needs to get fired.

WhooYEAH!
Another holiday is a GREAT idea! Any reason to party, is a good thing! WhooHoo!

In honor of Obama and his supporters: Make it a day you don't WORK, and UNPAID!
We could call it: "The First Affirmative Action President's Day"!

Daily Horoscope for December 20

Gemini

Grit your teeth as Mars turns retrograde, as things annoyingly don't go to plan. Certain people are going out of their way to be difficult. Is an older relative throwing the proverbial weight around and telling you what to do? The greater the gap between your ages or social status, the more irritated you'll be.
