MLK was a plagiarist. Entire sections of his dissertation were copied from others. Interesting that a university would choose to honor that.

My company no longer even recognizes this bogus "holiday". This is fine with me. Since there's no big football game, and every prior year that one of my 4 prior employers (they switched, not me) recognized the day, we never realy had off because there was a quarterly review scheduled and besides, it's not like anything was happening on that day otherwise just a bunch of boring, predictable, alot of progress but way more to go yada yadas.

Glad we got floaters instead for the 4th.

Yeah a person could get into trouble daring to speak out against MLK day...

We no longer have a George Washington day, a Abe Lincoln day, a Jefferson,a Franklin,a Eisenhower,Patton or McArthur day or even an FDR day or a John C. Garand day.

So why do we have a MLK day?...not because we soley judge a man by the content of his character as much as we do the color of his skin...

And that is kind of ironic all things considered

imo

And a Commie. Don't forget that part.

Why we have a day celebrating an unoriginal Communist is beyond me.

But then, I guess I shouldn't complain, since I do get the day off (for the first time ever, and likely the last). I plan to commemorate the occasion by sleeping in, FReeping, needlepointing, playing City of Heroes, and drinking beer.
