Patriot Day
Posted by Laurence Vance on September 11, 2012 08:46 AM
I just realized that today is Patriot Day, not to be confused with Patriot's Day. Not a federal holiday yet, but just wait a few years. Not sure why 9/11 is called Patriot Day. Perhaps Payback Day or Blowback Day or Federal Failure Day or Government Incompetence Day would be a better name for it. But of course, I'm not sure what the evil Patriot Act has to do with patriotism either.
