Is MLK's memory at this point just a gimmick for people to mention his name vaguely connecting him to something through contorted logic and thereby claim him as an appeal to authority for whatever awful agenda they have? 

[Del Tachi]

Yes but that's really all it ever was.

It's a shame MLK wasn't born in the first week of August when we need a holiday more.

Do you consider loudly-advertised car sales a good reason to get rid of Presidents' Day?

I never really saw much point in Presidents' Day to begin with, so if there were people going around earnestly claiming that yes, indeed, Lincoln would have driven a Lincoln, then I think we would need to consider it.

Suck it, yanks. Though if you ever do get a holiday in August, call it something better than "Civic Holiday".

Yes. Among others.

I'll just leave this here:

[Horus]

It should be changed to "Civil Rights Day" in order to honor people like Malcolm X as well.

Not more than Jesus' name, that's for sure.
