George W. Bush may be cutting money for 150 programs, yet, he somehow managed to squeeze $1.4 million out of his budget to infuse more right wing faith and family into our holidays. Call it a miracle!
In April, the administration will launch the "Holiday Renaming Project". I obtained a secret memo detailing the new holiday names proposed by Bush. All exclusive quotes in parenthesis are from the President:
OLD: Christmas
NEW: Christmore
OLD: Father's Day
NEW: Higher Father's Day ("Heck, I don't even consult with dad on war with Iraq")
OLD: Mardi Gras
NEW: Moral Gras
OLD: Rosh Hashanah
NEW:Rush is on-a
OLD: Fourth of July
NEW: Four Jews Lied (Mel Gibson said so.)
OLD: Halloween
NEW: Holyween
OLD: Flag Day
NEW: Patriotic Banner Day ("Flag", is just too close to "fag" and sends the wrong message to kids)
OLD: Martin Luther King Day
NEW: Martin Luther Day (Monarchs have no place in a free country)
OLD: Ramadan
NEW: Rapturedan
OLD: National Boss Day
NEW: Dick Cheney Day
OLD: All Saints Day
NEW: Every Day!
OLD: Valentines Day
NEW: Love Is For One Man/One Woman Day
OLD: Thanksgiving
NEW: Katherine Harris Day
OLD: Good Friday
NEW: God Friday (And God Mon., Tue. Wed. and Thurs., too!)
OLD: Presidents Day
NEW: See Dick Cheney Day
P.S. If you haven't figured out this is a satire, you probably voted for Bush. I'd also love to see what other people come up with for holiday names.
