Which Presidents' Day?

Today is Presidents' Day, and there has been some question as to which presidents are to be honored today. Is today just for Washington and Lincoln? Or is it for all presidents? All deceased presidents? All worthwhile presidents? What about Confederate presidents?

I propose that this holiday should be dedicated to all presidents born in February. That way, in addition to Washington and Lincoln, we are also able to honor Ronald Reagan, though we'd have to throw William Henry Harrison into the mix as well. So, today, we celebrate 3/5 of the future Mt. Rushmore, along with some guy who was in office for a month before he died.

Well, 3 of the 6 future Mt. Rushmore.... FDR will go up before Reagan.

(Not that there is room for either of them)

Happy Day off!
