Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Day and I am going to do something radical — almost as radical as demanding full Equal Rights for everyone — for amid our annual, fevered miasma of Toyotathons and MLK Day-sales on Serta Perfect Sleepers, I am going to actually celebrate Martin Luther King Day. And I’m going to do that by mixing a Martini and rereading MLK’s Letter from Birmingham Jail.
