L 1054am – The story I’ve heard for years is that all the holidays that can be moved have been moved to the nearest weekend to make as many 3 or 4-day weekends as possible while keeping the holiday still in the same/original month. I think both the tourist and industrial lobbyists made that happen with the argument that having a holiday in the middle of a workweek is a waste.
LikeLike
George @ 11:53- Yeah, that’s my understanding as well. May 31, however is next Sunday, not in the middle of the week. Something wrong with having the extra day fall in the next month? Just make the extra day Friday instead of Monday.
No, I think there is probably another explanation (probably involving money) out there- anyone?

From Fox News Doctor contributor Nicole Saphier
“I’ll tell you, yesterday North Carolina reported their highest single day increase to date,” Saphier explained. “If they’re following that White House blueprint that was put forth by the experts then they’re not ready to say that they’re going to be able to accommodate 50,000 people in indoor settings come end of August. “We can’t just go back to the business of usual, we’re going to pack everyone in like a herd of cows,” the Fox News contributor added, “and then potentially be transmitting this because then you have schools starting.”
Nicole Saphier is an American radiologist and the director of breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering Monmouth. She is well known for providing her medical expertise as a contributor on Fox News and Fox Business.

POSPOTUS,
“A little after 8 a.m. on July 20, 2001, a couple arriving for an appointment opened an unlocked front door at an office in the Florida panhandle town of Fort Walton Beach and discovered a woman lying on the floor, dead. Her name was Lori Kaye Klausutis and she was just 28.
The police said they found no signs of foul play. The medical examiner concluded her lonely death was an accident. She had fainted, the result of a heart condition, and hit her head on a desk, he said.
Now, nearly 20 years later, Klausutis’s death has captured the attention of the country’s most prominent purveyor of conspiracy theories — the president of the United States — who has without evidence speculated that she might have been murdered and that the case should be reopened.”

Speaking of trumpy. In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Combine this with Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Individuals with this disorder exhibit a lack of ability to empathize with others and an inflated sense of self-importance. The hallmarks of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) are grandiosity, a lack of empathy for other people, and a need for admiration.
