Unless the left figures out how to make its opposition less solemn and more fun unless we learn to laugh at ourselves and at the crises we face our politics will remain on the margins.

LOS ANGELES - Americans will celebrate Presidents Day Monday, Feb. 15, a holiday that began as a celebration of George Washington’s birthday.
Throughout the 19th century, communities celebrated on Feb. 22 with parades and fireworks, said Evan Phifer, a research historian at the White House Historical Association. Then in the late 1800s, our nation’s first president’s birthday became a federal holiday.
The holiday was moved to the third Monday in February in 1971, creating a three-day weekend for many workers.
