Today is President's Day here in the US, where we celebrate our great leaders of the past by taking off from work and buying sheets and towels at low, low prices. There used to be separate holidays here for Lincoln and Washington's birthdays, but apparently there were concerns that another leader warranting such treatment might come along some day, so the holiday was opened up to all, though it doesn't seem very effective at ensuring that the likes of Millard P. Filmore and Rutherford B. Hayes are not forgotten. Since the holiday covers the whole gamut, just to be contrary, I'm going to spend the day remembering Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton for their brushes with impeachment.

Link of the Day: RiksJotto II, "the different soccer game." Thanks Are Nyseth. This has no socially redeeming values (you are a sniper shooting at soccer players from the stands), but a great web-based shooting game. Like many of the playable Links of the Day, I hesitate to admit how long I played it once I tried it.
