here's a list of US Federal holidays (with the law that sets them so you can verify). this is the 2003 schedule, the actual dates of some will vary year to year. note the ones in bold type
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) establishes the following public holidays for Federal employees. Please note that most Federal employees work on a Monday through Friday schedule. For these employees, when a holiday falls on a non-workday -- Saturday or Sunday -- the holiday usually is observed on Monday (if the holiday falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on Saturday).

Wednesday, January 1 -New Year's Day
Monday, January 20 -Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Monday, February 17 -Washington's Birthday
Monday, May 26 -Memorial Day
Friday, July 4 -Independence Day
Monday, September 1 -Labor Day
Monday, October 13 -Columbus Day
Tuesday, November 11 -Veterans Day
Thursday, November 27 -Thanksgiving Day
Thursday, December 25 -Christmas Day

This holiday is designated as "Washington's Birthday" in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees. Though other institutions such as state and local governments and private businesses may use other names, it is our policy to always refer to holidays by the names designated in the law.

it's been my experience that when you find that you've said something stupid or just plain wrong, you'll look smarter if you just admit you were mistaken.

BTW- I've never met anyone who doesn't believe that Christ existed. I've met a few atheists who deny he was the son of God (and that there is a God), but pretty much everyone I've talked to believes he existed. it's fairly well documented in history.

edit- sorry forgot the Link

Apathy... that list looks old. I've not heard it reffered to as "Washingtons Birthday" since MLK day became a holiday. It's called president's day on every callendar I've seen for some time.

I thought so too, but that's the 2003 list from the federal web sight. I just added the link.

BTW... most Colleges don't have President's Day as a holliday anymore because there's such a concentration of hollidays around January. At first, they cycled between MLK and pres day, but people complained so they dropped pres day and stuck with MLK day.

Columbus day is under serius protest for some reason or another by some party insistant on removing anything remotely white from the calendar. Basically, lazs is more correct than you're ever going to admit.

P.S. That was a pretty stupid response above. Almost as bad as "I don't see what the big deal is."

ok... maybe they still have Washington listed (what happened to Lincoln?) but.... you will have to admit that to most people in the U.S. it is "presidents" day. This would be the same as if most state and local schools and agencies called mlk day "civil rights leader day" Columbus? who has even heard of columbus day these days?

Christ? Ok... set up a nativity scene at a federal or state or public place and we will see how much santa clause day is about the birth of christ (if he existed) Lots of people believe king arthur existed too... maybe they both did but Santa gets the billing.

Nope... admit it...MLK day is simple pandering. In the grand scheme of things he wasn't much. Basicly, involved in a movement that was gonna happen anyway. No more, and arguably much less, important than hundreds of humans from not only the world but... this country. Plain old pandering by the lefties. shiny beads and firewater.
