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

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.”
