In case you wonder where the notion of the Participation Trophy came from, consider that once upon a lifetime ago President’s Day did not exist. When I was a boy, February was the month when we honored George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Now? We have created a long weekend to acknowledge every occupant of the Oval Office, irrespective of his accomplishments or utter absence thereof.
It’s quite a course we charted. First, we opened up the holiday to everyone. Then we opened up the job as well.
Look how well that has worked out.
