This is dumb. I'm from Virginia... you know, the birthplace of Robert E. Lee and I think it's absurd.

I'm working, so really neither.

I did read MLK's Letter a From Birmingham Jail this morning though.

Pretty sure that was just Auburn and Cullman. The rest of the state is normal

I'm not drinking, but enjoying the day off thanks to Martin. Lee didn't do shite for my holidays.

Well, looks like Palin got things going today.

Happy MLK, Jr. Day!

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Mr. President, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and all who commit to ending any racial divide, no more playing the race card.

I like her. She kicks the hornet's nest often and makes things entertaining.

I do like the liberals reaction to her but she hurts the republican image when she opens her mouth.

It's actually an official state holiday. Too bad for the racists the Federal holiday for MLK overshadows it.
