MLK Perspective
I know someone who for years has been pointing out that Martin Luther King, Jr. is the only person other than Jesus Christ to have his very own federal holiday in the U.S. Today Neal Boortz says the same thing, delicately: "I find it problematic that throughout the entire history of our nation we have only designated one American as worthy of a national holiday, and how we did it..." Read the whole thing. Also remarkable, I think, is that Jimmy Carter et al. enjoy the same honor as Abraham Lincoln and George Washington every February, now that their birthdays are no longer holidays but President's Day is. Call me a cynic, but if we wanted to honor Jimmy Carter we'd have "National Malaise Day" or "Stagflation Day."
