Snoopy is losing his Met Life retirement plan, just as his brand becomes more valuable. From now on, we'll be missing the giant blimp featuring Snoopy in his World War I pilot gear. MetLife will have an M in blue and green colors. Boring, and since its that time of the year, then BOO-RING.

It’s unfortunate the announcement was made days after the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ 50th Anniversary: How Snoopy First Took Flight.

There's a reason Election Day is on Tuesday, this was a scheduling decision that made sense in 1845 when election days were standardized. Sunday was the sabbath, so traveling that day to make it to your polling place on Monday was out. And then farmers had to go to market on Wednesdays. Back then, lots of people were farmers and many were religious.

Now in 2016, the majority of US citizens don't farm anymore and God-fearing Americans drive. Yet, Election Day remains on a Tuesday, so why not make it a national holiday. We can call it Democracy Day and give everyone a day off.

Not really, only one person will win the election in just 23 days and you can have a say, regardless of all the talk about a rigged election. However, the slugfest is bound to get uglier before the knockout punch is delivered.

Take a deep breath and realize that this toxic camp pain is coming to an end and the presidential election will finally end in 23 days.
