Oil Expropriation Day is Almost Here!
Author's preface: This is a lightly edited and updated version of my original oil expropriation day story, published almost exactly a year ago. Once again I have to thank Wikipedia from whence I expropriated a good chunk of the history of oil expropriation day. For those who are not familiar, every March 18 is Oil expropriation day, a Mexican national holiday. It rivals the United States' Bunker Hill day in terms of awareness and popularity among the citizenry and is officially my favorite Mexican national holiday. Enjoy and Happy OE day!

Let Biden Be Biden
The State of the Union was not significant, but it was also a pivotal moment. It came before the celebration of E. Jean Carroll Day by her supporters on Monday.
