Quickies: A day on, not a day off

• The giant disembodied floating head of Martin Luther King, left, attempts to scare you into doing service on this federal holiday. [DN]

• New Jersey becomes the latest place to ban smoking in public spaces. Well, except for casinos. Naturally they get an exemption. (Also, you now can’t buy cigarettes until you’re 19.) [Inky]

• In war on smoke of a different kind, the Nottingham Fire Company in Bensalem is offering free college housing if you agree to become a volunteer fire fighter. And, as we all know, all the good colleges are in Bensalem. (Seriously, where could you go to school and live in Bensalem? Holy Family, I guess, but where else?) [KYW 1060]

• Yet another expose on snitchin’, although here it’s spelled with the more grammatically correct ‘g’ at the end. [Bucks County Courier Times]
