Related to my previous post, there's this, from BoingBoing.
Link to mp3 of the Mississippi Tax Commission's phone message explaining why they were closed today.
It seems that when Mississippi was forced to honor Dr. King's birthday, they figured, "We'll see about that" and made it a joint holiday with Robert E. Lee's birthday.
Lee was a great general and all (definitely better than that asshead McClellan.. don't get me started on McClellan, he makes me so mad..), and not all that much of a racist sonofabitch at heart, but still, he fought for racism. King fought against it.
Isn't Hitler/Gandhi day coming up?
Dumbasses.
