Happy Presidents Day |
|
Presidents Day (or Presidents' Day), is the common name
for the federal holiday officially designated as
Washington's Birthday, and both variants are among the
official names of a number of coinciding state holidays.
It is celebrated on the third Monday of February. As the
official title of the federal holiday, Washington's
Birthday was originally implemented by the federal
government of the United States in 1880 in the District
of Columbia and expanded in 1885 to include all federal
offices. As the first federal holiday to honor an
American citizen, the holiday was celebrated on
Washington's actual birthday, February 22. January 1,
1971 the federal holiday was shifted to the third Monday
in February by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. A draft
of the Uniform Holidays Bill of 1968 would have renamed
the holiday to Presidents' Day to honor both Washington
and Lincoln, but when signed into law on June 28, 1968
simply moved Washington's Birthday. For more info

Freddie Bell passes away |
|
 |
"We
(those of us
who knew him or knew of him) were
lucky to have been in his company, laughing and
especially his weekly dinners at the house. You
didn't have to have a special invitation... and
you never knew who would show up for some of his
home cooked Italian dinner... Frank, Sammy,
Dean, Nelson, Carme to name a few were always
welcomed and often dropped by..." Freddie was
one of the "Fun" guys from the first day we met
in mid-fifties until his death. "I loved the guy
and I'll always miss him," Norm Johnson, long
time friend, manager, publicist.
Funeral
for Freddie Bell will be at Palm Mortuary
located at 7600 Eastern on
Sunday February 17th. Viewing begins at
Noon with services following at 2:00pm.

Economic Stimulus Plan
A lower corporate tax rate is essential to U.S. competitiveness.
America was once a low-tax business environment, but as our trade partners
lowered their
rates, America failed to keep pace, leaving us with the second-highest rate
among the world's advanced economies..... [see

The Murder of Art
Support art every chance
you can get. It is truly the stepchild of the American
education system. As we continue to add millions to the
yearly salaries of our “ball players”, it increases the
strength and the focus on our schools sports programs,
leaving art on a large, gray and empty stage.....

even if they win their remaining six games may not make it to March Madness,
unless of course they win their conference playoffs for an automatic bid and

title for Las Vegas: |

Apparently, what happens in Vegas truly does
stay in Vegas especially right at the waistline.

annual dubious honor Men's Fitness
magazine bestows upon the nation's most
overweight city.
