President Three Day Weekend

When you don't have to go work in the morning, Sunday night can be pretty sweet. If I was running for president I would have one platform, but a platform so near and dear to the American laborer's overworked inner-being that it naturally transcends rhetoric about saving the economy and national security. I'm talking about making into law three day weekend for everyone. Think of it, one more day of weekend boozing, catching up on sitcoms, laying on the beach, and not having to get the kids to the factory they call a school. 


I'm finally bringing a platform that can unite all Americans, the Three Day Weekend platform! The only political issue most people actually care about.


What we have now with the two day weekend has been a disaster for centuries. It's resulted in a workforce that is exhausted and cannot enjoy an evening PBS special past 10PM without worrying about not being able to get up in the morning. Sticking to Saturday and Sundays as the only two days of leisure isn't good for the soul. And it's not going to improve the economy. The three day weekend will...So turn on the public television, make a donation that costs you the same as it does buying chai lattes during the week. The tote bag you get in return will look pretty sharp when you use it to tote a few essentials at the beach this summer. It lets the world know you're an enlightened member of society who doesn't necessarily believe the hype of FOX or CNN. 



Why let France and Greece corner the market on leisure and time off from work?
