National Bubba Day

June 2 is a day that will go down in infamy.

National Bubba Day is celebrated across the United States each year on June 2nd.

I'm not joking. Look it up.

In a nation that hides from its transgressions with things like Dancing with the Stars and American Idol, this is a perfect distraction. Never you mind the facts about the wars or the homelessness in America or "economic recovery" really meaning consumers going further in debt - Tuesday is National Bubba Day.

Granted, it's an "unofficial" holiday - banks will be open and you will receive your mail - but it is just another shining example of how we Americans are desensitized to the goings on around us.

So to all of those named, nicknamed or just sometimes called “Bubba” I raise a mason jar as a toast. CHEERS!

Happy National Bubba Day!
