HOMEWORK 02/17/25 ~ PRESIDENT’S DAY (WITH EXCEPTIONS)

Homework

It’s President’s Day, a federally recognized holiday when Americans are supposed to celebrate George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and some say every other president, though we clearly believe some exceptionally bad U.S. presidents don’t deserve a celebration.

It’s also a day Team Randi is taking off from our live show.

We do still have a fresh new Homework edition for today, and a “Best Of” show this afternoon.

So read up, watch & share your favorite #RandiInAMinute clips, & Randi will be back live tomorrow Tuesday February 18, 2025.
See you then.
