Loyalty Day Redux

Last year on Loyalty Day, I posted a copy of that year's proclamation along with the snarky commentary you've all grown to nurture and cherish in your heart of hearts over the last couple of years. I also mistakenly announced that this was the first ever Loyalty Day. Boy, was I ever wrong.

To begin with, it wasn't even pResident Pinhead's first Loyalty Day proclamation. That was in 2001. (Here's a link to 2002's proclamation, in case you're collecting the set) To demonstrate how much more out of touch with things that I am in this instance, apparently Loyalty Day has been around in one form or another since the 1930s, and was first officially proclaimed in 1958.

The only reason I'm even telling you this is because The Jesse and Ezra Show pointed out this year's grandstanding waste of taxpayer money to promote fealty to the Chimperor official state proclamation in this post, and it inspired me to set my record straight, so to speak. Hope you made sure you were loyal to the powers that be yesterday...
