It took a few years for businesses to fully commercialize MLK day, but clearly retailers have "overcome" their initial squeamishness...

Profits over principles is THE golden rule of capitalism; plus MLK Jr. is now fully mainstreamed except in the minds of rabid racists who aren't enough of a consumer base to pander to . . .

You claim there's a sale named after you?

It was a momentary lapse....fish/barrel

I didn't want to suggest that rube was calling Dr. King that s-word although that's the actual meaning of what he wrote. I'm sure it was not malicious on his part.

I'm fond of doing that as well.  For example, those Nashville music fans who say "If it ain't country, it ain't shit".
To which I always ask, "does that mean that if it *IS* country, it *IS* shit?"
