Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The civil rights leader's birthday was
actually last week, but it's not really a holiday in the U.S. if it's not on a
Monday, so there you go.
The football games were pretty great yesterday, though the officiating was pretty rough. I turned around my horrible regular season for our playoff pool and am in first place at this point, with my pre-playoffs pick matrix resulting in nine winners out of ten games so far. The points escalate with each round in this one, however, so there's still the chance for me to end up as low as tied for fourth out of ten (actually nine, as one player made no picks) if I get the Super Bowl wrong, so I'll keep the champagne on ice for now.

JFK, MLK and Bobby Kennedy were all shot and killed in the same decade. There hasnt been a progressive politician in the US of their ilk since. Its worth a thought or two.
I thought about it all 12 hours of my work day, as I was getting time and a half pay!
