August: Let's Get Rid of It
This satirical July 2001 article describes how "the United States would be better off without it [August]" because of the negative world events from August (such as the bombing of Hiroshima) and because it is "the only month without a real holiday." Article suggests that John McCain (birthday August 29) should sponsor an August Reform Bill. Note: Barack Obama's birthday is August 4. From the online magazine Slate.
