Obama declares November National Adoption Month

Yes folks, it's official. I assume there's an official month for just about everything, and now adoption joins the ranks! It occurred to me that I've got a few other ideas for national months. Check out these chestnuts:

- National Funk Month. Celebrating all things James Brown, Parliament, Earth Wind & Fire, The Meters, Isley Brothers, Rick James, Sly Stone and ____________( fill in the blank). Featuring free concerts all over the country.
- National Fried Food Month. Everything tastes better fried, right? Either that or maybe just National Fried Pork Rinds Month.
- National Cool Car Month. Show off your ride. Free pine-scented air fresheners for all motorists driving cool cars.
- National Shag Carpeting Month. It would be great if this month could come with some deep discounts, because otherwise I don't know when we'll be able to afford to do our entire home in wall-to-wall, deep-pile glory.
- National Pet Humiliation Awareness Month. We've all known a pet - either ours or someone else's - who's been dressed in stupid outfits, made to pose against their will for holiday cards, or been falsely blamed for a bad deed. This month is for them.
- National Wedding Musicians' Month. Who else can churn out hits of the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s?
- National Stick Figures' Month. Because that's all I can draw!
