Celebrate King Day!

[jscheuer1]

Here in the US, it is Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday (observed) - a national holiday! Celebrate!

[mburt]

Hurrah.

[Twey]

Certainly worth celebrating, though I've yet to see a black American President...

Obama in 08?


Twey, what about Great Britain? Has there yet been a black prime minister? (I really have no idea... y'know... US schooling and such. We don't know our history well, let alone yours. Heh.)

[mburt]

In the us... COUNTRY = PRIDE, PRIDE = COUNTRY
Seems to be most of the problem No offense, just making light of the situation, which I probably shouldn't be doing.

[Twey]

Not yet, no. We consider ourselves one step ahead of you Americans, though, since we've had a female prime minister, although since that turned out to be Maggie Thatcher, I doubt if people will dare again for a while

Come to think about it, Maggie Thatcher was probably inadvertantly Labour's greatest advocate...

[djr33]

Didn't know that. Interesting.

America could do it in one move, though, since Oprah is so popular. If she ran.... might just work.

Heh, strange. All the Americans with whom I regularly consort seem to think Oprah Winfrey is evil personified, for some reason

Let's celebrate the occasion with a picture of Bush eating a cat.

[djr33]

I don't particularly like her, though I don't see why she'd be considered evil... she at least tries to help. But in doing so, she does get rich

Wondeful picture. The compression hides that it's fake well.

I still remember the day she gave everyone in her audience a brand new car. I was a little upset because I didn't even have transportation to get to and from work and I didn't have the money to afford a car.
