Kevin Williamson is a creative-destruction, open-borders "Classical Liberal." The fact that the quote ends with a gratuitous loogie in the face of Christianity is a further clue that conservatism, in any meaningful sense of the word, is very far from his mind.
It's possible to speak on behalf of the working class without being a Marxist.
Birdsong, this is how you are choosing to promote "CIH?"?
The "Cerebus hates holidays" holiday special might make for a good "Cerebus in hell?" comic though:)
Birdsong,
You are wrong.
There is no such thing as a 'useless' holiday when it is a paid day off and also includes an extended weekend of grilling, eating drinking and sleeping.
And quoting Kevin D. Williamson?
Good gravy. Next thing you know it will be that old chestnut about Halloween and Christmas co-opting Pagan and Zoroastrianism.
Ha!
Just busting your giblets
Well I got lucky - it was a paid holiday from one job (my regular 7 - 5.30, Monday to Friday) *PLUS* getting paid to be on call for a hospital, since their regular staff was, you guessed it - on a paid holiday.
I'll get neck deep in that lovely trough of capitalism as often as I can!

ps -- and no, I'm not why the costs of medical care have skyrocketed...
Since much about Capitalism is completely illogical, I don't see the harm in having one illogical national holiday celebrating that illogic.
David Bonehead reveals himself yet again to be one of those "minds" who thinks that everything he disagrees with is communism. At least Bob Burden made some funny comics.

I get along with classical liberals (and anyone else, to the extent that it's up to me) just fine. I just think it's long past time for capital to stop pretending it's anything but indifferent, at best, and more often openly hostile, to the traditional values of family, community, faith, et cetera.
And I had an unpaid "day off," but of course as a teacher, I had work to do anyway, just as I do every weekend from September through May, even though those are also officially unpaid days...
