A proposal to eliminate Bunker Hill Day and Evacuation Day in Massachusetts prompted this hilariously absurd slippery slope argment from one state legislator:

Many Suffolk County lawmakers, who represent Chelsea, Revere, Winthrop and Boston, disagree. Senator Jack Hart, a Democrat from South Boston, warned last month of setting a precedent.

“If we eliminate these holidays today in Suffolk County, then what’s next?” Mr. Hart asked. “Do we eliminate maybe Presidents’ Day? Do we eliminate July 4th? Why don’t we get rid of Thanksgiving?”

Christmas and New Year’s are next!
