Happy Wednesday!
I hope you all had a dazzling Easter weekend and enjoyed your time spent saying hello to oyster bunnies.
But before we dive into other Biden flubs, we need to start with some more pressing business matters.
As you may recall, last week we reached out to First Lady Jill Biden via Twitter to see if she could verify our suspicion about the President’s new tactical dress shoes being a pair of Cole Haans.
The bad news is that Dr. Jill has not gotten back to us. The good news is that that means she just hasn’t gotten back to us yet.
However, this astute newsletter and the dozens of investigative reporters it employs do not give up on getting answers so easily. While we waited on a response from the potential buyer of the shoes, we reached out to the potential maker of the shoes, Cole Haan.
After a long five days, with minimal food rations, and only an ounce of hope left… they responded.
Friends, there it is. A positive identification that the shoes in question are indeed Cole Haan Men's ZERØGRAND Remastered Wingtip Oxfords.
Just a mere “Yes:” is all it took to reignite our excitement and fire up the engines.
Now, the confirmation is locked in and the door is wide open. We have reached out for more information from Cole Haan pertaining to things like how it feels that their great product has helped contribute to keeping the leader of the free world from publicly falling for…
300 DAYS!!!
Three hundred days of not publicly falling is a truly emarkable ‘feet’ by our vigorous President of the United States.
We are eager to hear what Cole Haan thinks about their most famous customer.
But as usual, while Biden may not be publicly falling, he is always publicly stumbling in all sorts of other ways.
The biggest disruption this week was the White House putting out a proclamation about Sunday, not being Easter, but being Transgender Day of Visibility.
(Trust me, Rachel… we see you!)
Though many of us suspected Joe Biden did not even have anything to do with these statements, he pretty much confirmed it by claiming he didn’t do any such thing.
We’re well aware that most of the culture wars launched from the Oval Office are done by inexperienced 20-something-year-olds and riot-romancing interns, not the rigorous 80-something-year-old who makes up his own words.
But here at Something Fun we will not be debating the intentions or sentiments being dispelled by the White House Internfada. Instead, we are here to focus on another side of this debacle, something we argued in the very first edition of the Wednesday Newsletter:
There are far too many national ‘holidays.’
Since the advent of the internet, the amount of power handed over to the citizenry to create holidays has become increasingly untamable and the amount of things we are expected to celebrate on any given day are really getting out of hand.
That’s why we decided to ask… with all the hoards of holidays that are already in existence, is there room for one more?
***STAY TUNED***
Until then, don’t forget to do something fun on Monday April 8th by watching the total eclipse.
Just remember not to look up without your glasses!
See you next week!

Friday is National Deep Dish Pizza Day, and I had assumed our humble correspondent would be celebrating, but now I'm not so sure...
Apparently Jill doesn’t know how important of a person you are. Maybe she’ll figure it out soon and reply.
Look at the eclipse without glasses or pics of Rachel Levine 🤔
