Yeah, I know - there was an interruption of the space-time continuum, a disturbance in The Force...well, really what happened was that people got to work for 10 days for nothing (kind of like a tax increase), and the Obamas of the day blamed in on some dead, white, imperialist religious guys.
They actually dropped days from the calendar — but that meant they had to get the month’s work done in 22 days instead of 31. ;’)
