The local Unitarian church had its annual Martin Luther King celebration today. I usually enjoy it, and I always see a lot of friends there. This year, though, it seemed to run on far too long. It began at 10 AM, and then we had a march to the town square at noon, and then a talk by a guy who's really nice but known to talk on and on, and singing and drumming by some Native American performers. I thought it would be impolite to leave, but I finally gave up at 1:15 PM and went across the street to the bookstore. I drove past at 1:45 PM, and they were finally closing down.

I'll tell ya one thing about liberals - give 'em a microphone, and they don't know when to shut up.

Wait! Wait! I have just one more thing to say, and that will save the world!

Nice people, but they sure talk a lot.
