Okay, I'm rolling my eyes ...

MLK spoke to everyone in this country, not just black folk! Having his birthday as a black-only holiday is an insult to everyone concerned, IMHO.

Sheesh! What do the biracial kids do ... take half a day?

I still can't quite believe that's really true. We had about four kids tell us this, but I still can't help thinking they MUSTA had it wrong. Surely?

But yeah, that's about what we decided.

Bwaaahahaha... priceless. :-)

I almost wonder if MLK were still around he wouldn't be a republican. Seems to me that his vision and that of the poverty pimps like Jesse are so desperately at odds...

It can't be a black only holiday.... our local high school was closed, and we have about a .03% minority population.

At work, though, nobody took the day off.

Our County school superintendent (who happens to be African American) got in a lot of hot water last year when he wanted kids to go to school on MLK Day. They'd already missed a lot because of the sniper and snow. So he thought they should take away that holiday to make up for the time.

The school board caved. But what they said was "if the days is important to you, you can stay home."

Jr. asked. I said "yes the day is an important day for your education, you're going to school."

ROTFL!! Thanks for letting me know about the recipes. I'll check em out!

Fixing to go watch The Ring. SSQ tells me it was a good movie; I'm not so sure, but I'll give it a try.
