So, here in the land of the free and the home of the brave, it’s Loyalty Day, as so declared by the Congress of these United States and the President:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 1, 2007, as Loyalty Day. I call upon the people of the United States to participate in this national observance and to display the flag of the United States on Loyalty Day as a symbol of pride in our Nation.
Swear your loyalty to the King Nation.
I swear to God, I couldn’t make this more Orwellian if I dug up George Orwell’s spinning corpse and had him write the proclamation. Along with Depart of Homeland Security, God help us if we can’t pick the ironically awful names.

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
