Babe-Elvis Day

Why don't we have more summer holidays? Memorial Day starts the summer and Labor Day ends it. The only mid summer holiday is Independence Day. We have 6 holidays between November and February. Why couldn't Washington, Lincoln and MLK Jr been born in the summer? And they certainly could have called off World War I a few months earlier. We need a holiday in August. I propose August 16. That is the day both Babe Ruth and Elvis Presley died.
They are two of the biggest American cultural icons and it would be fitting to honor them.

    Wonderful, we can all over eat, smoke, drink and be obnoxious and then to top it off take drugs until our bodies scream no more and wind up dead on our bathroom floors. Sounds like a great idea. Come on, you can come up with a better idea for a holiday than that.
