He's not a nuclear missile. Just a dude.

Not one but TWO of my professors have said something along the lines of, 'Well, MLK Day is next week, so we won't have class Wednesday or Friday.'

Are they being racist or lazy? Are they thinking, 'Uh oh, a black person day. Better lay low for the next week.' or 'Hey, random holiday, let's go home early and watch VH1 talk about everything else that's on TV.'

If MLK Day were a terrorist attack, I'd understand. A bomb goes off, then fine: stay home for a couple days, relax. But it's a holiday celebrating a civil rights leader. He's not a nuclear missile. Just a dude.

But on the upside, VH1 will be running a marathon of I Love What Just Happened 5 Minutes Ago and I sure do love not going to class...

Hey, learning! You should do it, too, unless you want to scoop elephant crap at the circus.
