WTF? Day


Why do we still take weather advice from a rodent? In the age of Doppler Radars and the Weather Channel, why are we enthralled with what a furry animal sees or not? Has our society fallen to the point where we stop thinking and just accept irrational advice from unqualified sources? Isn't President Bush bad enough? Does Punxsutawney Phil care at all or does he just want to go back asleep?

Today I am proposing that the second day of February be officially called "WTF? Day." It will be a new holiday where Americans can collectively gather together to ask themselves WTF? It is a day of reflection as we examine our lives as a country in an attempt to weed out what is holding us back. For example, today is a great day to ask ourselves "WTF? Why did we let the Repubs control all of our national politics?" or "WTF? Why are we allowing the government to spy on us and remove our rights?" The options are endless. I purpose that the government would stop their illegal wire taps on this day so that all Americans can freely express their WTF? Day with no fear of repercussion. I am sure that some of those Red States would fight in court to stop WTF? Day i.e. Arizona fighting for years to stop MLK Day from being an official holiday, but lets push this forward anyways. So in the spirit of the new holiday, I will begin with my WTF? for this year.

WTF? - Does anyone else think it is bizarre that February, the shortest month of the year, is Black History Month?

WTF? - When are we going to take a stand against the government robbing us of all our civil rights? Isn't the Rebup party supposed to be the small government party?

Well, I gave you two right there. So feel free to respond with your WTF? Day thoughts.
