Philadelphia Will Do’s (Annual, Maybe?) Martin Luther King Day Spectacular!

012108kings.jpg

While we honor George Washington by selling cars next month, today America honors great American civil rights leader Martin Luther King by closing government offices and making high school kids do a day of service.

A lot of us today are in this sort of limbo of whether today is a work day or not, especially bloggers like me who could possibly figure out how to explain to bosses that no one’s going to be reading the blog anyway, so I might as well sleep ’til Tuesday. (You’ll be sad to know The Bulletin isn’t publishing today, though they do have Papal mass tickets available.) Alas, though, I am already awake and might as well post throughout the day, though since I dunno who’s reading it I’ll probably write 2,000 words on the NFC Championship Game and different breeds of puppies and you will enjoy it. Oh, and the normal stupid shtick, of course; everything’s in play here during the PWDMLKDS!

The only other option is to write about how some local teens honored MLK day, and that’s just a lot less fun. Enjoy the collage of kings (”kings”) at right, including the headline of the year for 1990, “Million Dollar Man Spends A Rare Moment With Our Reporters.”

    As a black I am insulted by the picture belittling Martin Luther King

    As a woman I am insulted that you didn’t use ‘Til Tuesday Lyrics in this post as Aimmee Mann is one of the greatest song writers in our time.

    You’re just jealous you’re not the king of anything.

    Last I checked, females can only be Queens of anything. So unless you file some sort of ACLU-endorsed lawsuit against the idea of Kingship, you’re stuck sharing your title with Freddy Mercury’s band/sexual identification.

    I believe a woman can be the King of Mexico, but I’m not sure on that.

    That’s a fine king montage, featuring a great issue of WWF Magazine with “The Macho King” Randy Savage on the cover. That brings me back. I had that issue as a kid and it may still be collecting dust in my parents attic.

    I also had that issue as a kid. My parents sent me to counseling, though, and I’m all better now.

    Hey, isn’t that Bruce Dickinson at bottom right? You must’ve found something related to his Chemical Wedding album.
