Item: Whatever has happened to Washington's Birthday? California lawyer gamely tries to show 'Presidents Day' is the wrong designation/SF Chronicle.

DFO: When I was growing up, we celebrated Abraham Lincoln's birthday on Feb. 12 and George Washington's on Feb. 22. Now, the two great presidents have been lost in the observance of a nondescript Presidents Day, which means little. If I ruled the universe, we'd bring back the Lincoln/Washington days to focus school children on the importance of these two presidents, as well as other great ones, like the Roosevelts.

Question: Are you happy with the current all-inclusive Presidents Day? Bonus Question: Who's your favorite president?
