...I'm sorry I missed it. 
(The freakout, not the day. 
)
Edit: Crap. I spoke to soon. 
I'm sorry, but May 1st in my home is Beltane. It's also a friend's birthday. Neither of these things infringes on unions, workers, etc., etc. Neither does 'Loyalty Day' for the love of nitpicking.
Q.E.D.
Highly recommended!
Ghosts require a different approach. My favorite is blood and bone magick. If you can get me one of these f'ers bones then I might be able to do something*.
*Of course I'm joking about getting one of their bones so as to perform a spell. Getting rid of them and their ilk would require much more powerful magick than that. Now if you would like to help do that, I need help into getting back an ancient family artifact from the Vatican. So if you can help me find and get into the Vatican's version of Warehouse 13, then perhaps we can do something...
I spit in Nixon's general direction.
Someone, maybe Hunter Thompson, said something to the effect that when the last frozen level of Hell had disgorged its occupants, then the ghost of Richard Nixon would once again walk the Earth. Something spooky and embittered like that -- sorry, I really can't do it justice.
I used to think there was no one I could hate as much as Dick Nixon. I was pretty impressed when my father-in-law, late into his 80's and sometimes losing his English (it was only his 3rd or 4th language), started talking about Nixon with me, and suddenly the old man was practically purple in the face and pounding the arm of his chair, and I am not sure what language he was using at that point, but 
Nixon had been dead for decades at this point. I'm glad my FIL did not live to see Dubya take office.
Speaking of spitting, I have a friend who lives in the South who has to drive through Crawford to visit her mother and brothers. When Dubya still had his pig ranch, she would make a point of spitting out her car window as she drove through Crawford.
I'm wandering. Ahh. Perhaps a fantasy novella could be written about Dick Cheney's original heart being stolen from the medical waste bin to be used for blood magick. Talk about wish-fulfillment.
Thank you!!
Many folks have given the history of the law, in their posts, which has been interesting,
a very few pointed out the law says a President is "requested" to proclaim it on May 1,
(as opposed to "must proclaim it"

I love it when all the usual ODS suspects absolutely lose their shit about this type of thing.

...Between 1981 and 1983, Obama is supposed to have visited Mars twice, by way of a teleportation chamber called a “jump room.” Basiago, a fellow chrononaut, told the website Exopolitics that he saw Obama “walk back to the jump room from across the Martian terrain.” To acknowledge his comrade, Obama is said to have told Basiago, “We’re here” — apparently, “with some sense of fatalism.”
It is not known what exactly Obama did on Mars. (Socializing Martian health care, perhaps? Building a birth-certificate printing press?) His mission was a perilous one, according to Basiago and Stillings. The CIA wished to “establish a defense regime protecting the Earth from threats from space” as well as a legal claim to “territorial sovereignty,” making Obama something of a Martian conquistador. Presumably, Obama’s CIA handlers needed him to “acclimate Martian humanoids and animals to their presence” in order to secure the U.S.-Martian alliance. (We’ll bet you weren’t even aware of Martian animals.)
“Simply put, your task is to be seen and not eaten,” an elder chrononaut, retired Army Maj. Ed Dames, is alleged to have told a young Obama.
You can scoff at the idea of Obama on Mars. But it explains a lot. Obviously the birth-certificate controversy is a side effect of Obama forgetting to sufficiently establish his fake identity as he learned to manipulate time and space. (Dugan has a demonstrated record of supporting space travel; the “jump room” must be broken.) And who else but a man accustomed to keeping the country’s most explosive secret would be comfortable waging so many undeclared wars? Ignore Basiago and Stillings at your own peril. If Obama’s reelected, the U.S. is finally colonizing Mars.

How many times must I tell you sheeple! Listen to me! It's the truth! It's all happening right now!

2005: "Loyalty Day 2005- Is this for real?"
Like I said last year, 50 years as a holiday and still almost nobody has heard about
in stupidity here sometimes.
You gotta laugh.
