I never liked Buchanan much either.....................

The Execupundit is not thrilled with "Presidents' Day."   Full post is here.  Conclusion here:

"Structure matters but character and competence matter far more. My feelings on this day can be summed up as follows: Cut the staff, change the day, honor Washington and Lincoln only, and don't feel compelled to put a picture of James Buchanan (or his modern-day equivalent) on your piano."

For those of you not interested in following the link on Buchanan, it goes to J. B.'s wiki, where this classic line is to be found:

Buchanan's view of record was that secession was illegal, but that going to war to stop it was also illegal. Buchanan, an attorney, was noted for his mantra, "I acknowledge no master but the law."[1]
