Sure it’s a little-known holiday, but it is as intensely celebrated in Matt Labash’s office as National Quilting Day or Wear Too Much Axe Body Spray Day. And, by Matt Labash’s office, I mean the inexorably Phoenix-scented, desk-shaped pile of scrap printer paper and Gary Hart memorabilia under which he burrows to write for The Weekly Standard, not the whole Weekly Standard office. Because we all know Bill Kristol wears the exact right amount of Axe Body Spray, and we dare anyone to say otherwise.
But today is a more legitimate holiday than the one Matt scribbles onto our office calendars once a week (You owe me a Gary Larson 2010 desk calendar, Labash). Because today is the day that Matt’s book, “Fly Fishing With Darth Vader” is officially on the market! (Perhaps a perfect consolation for anyone saddened by the fact that Carrie Prejean is off the market? Synergy.)
