"Then, as a country, we woke to find it wasn't a dream at all."

[Catshrink]

One man had a dream.
That dream carried us all a long way.
It moved us forward.
It was a little light that nobody could keep from shining.
That dream lasted forty years and then some.
Then, as a country, we woke to find
it wasn't a dream at all.

This was the State Farm statement on MLK Day in the morning paper. A photo like this (but without Obama's face) accompanied it:

2. I know!

I started sobbing when I read that.

That's why I'm taking tomorrow off. I'd be a blubbering mess. Better to stay home and share some mimosas with my neighbors.
