Hallmark has decided that 11 September is “Patriot Day.” Cards, accessories, and Star Trek theme ornaments to follow.
(The press release linked to above indicates that the title comes from a resolution by Dubya back last December. However, a quick Google search finds mostly references to the “classic” Patriot Day in April, commemorating Lexington and Concord … oops, wait, here’s the joint resolution in Congress that set up that particular name for 11 September. Yeesh. More annoyed commentary to follow as we approach that particular anniversary.)

Well, IIRC (and I do live in MA, where we celebrate it), the April date is “Patriot’s Day” not “Patriot Day.” Yes, the wording is that little tiny bit different, but that’s probably all it needed to pass.
And I’ll just echo Jenn’s echoes on everything else about Patriot Day.
Well, somewhat encouragingly, this article talks at length about plans for the date, but doesn’t mention the PD name once. Nor does the US Mayors’ site the article mentions (but doesn’t URL).
What happened to Holy Fucking Shit Day?
Hey, that’s right!
Hmmm. The House leadership must have lost my e-mail to them.
