MLK Day

Two of our former chief executives.



I would like to clear up a point of confusion about Arizona and the MLK holiday. Arizona does celebrate MLK Day, although we were dragged kicking and screaming to the celebration. It took the threat of losing the Super Bowl and conventions to convince us to see the light. We are now fully on board with the whole idea.

The opposition to MLK Day in Arizona was lead by Evan Mechan, a Mormon car dealer, who was also a proud member of the John Birch Society. Mechan was impeached and removed from office for obstruction of justice and illegally using state money for his personal use.

The next elected governor was Fife Symington, who was also forced out of office because of some shady real estate business. Our current governor, Janet Napolitano remains proudly unindicted.

Arizonans have a limited attention span, which causes problems with so many people to hate. Now that MLK Day is firmly ensconced in our lives, we have moved on to making sure that the Mexicans stay in their place, preferably Mexico. That is unless they are cleaning our houses or yards. We also have the Mormon battalions mobilizing in the east valley suburbs of Phoenix, to insure that the wickedness that is gay marriage, doesn't get a foothold here in our state. With the recent California court decision declaring gay marriage constitutional, they are at Defcon-4.

If the new millennium wants Arizona to join in, it will have to come and get us.
