| History of Fathers Day | | Well, it is only fair for me to post a discussion about Father's Day because I posted one about Mother's Day.[i]The first year it was recognized in the states, was the same as Mothers Day[/i]The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special. .The origin of Father's Day is not clear.

Only 87% of the count is in and the media is saying McCain wins.
