housekeeping in which ttac observes mlk day

Hey gang, the boss here.

Thanks to a directive from our corporate masters, we’re off on Monday.

Our bosses based in the frozen North added two U.S. holidays for 2021 — MLK Day and President’s Day. So in the honor of Martin Luther King, we’re going to be light on posts, if we post at all, on Monday. Back at it on Tuesday.

If you’re also off Monday, enjoy the three-day weekend. If you aren’t, do what I did in years past and grumble about it.

Until next week, friends.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Thanks to a directive from our corporate masters, we’re no longer a democracy on Wednesday. :-/

  Pig_Iron Insurgent Scum, I hope your whole family abandons you, and the only work you could find is at an S&M site, reviewing butt plugs and anal intruders.

  @Nick_515 Nick, I’m sure his readers will surprise him with the an occasional pineapple or Porcupine just to keep things interesting. Maybe something dipped in Insanity sauce.

  Pig Iron is that sarcasm or are you really that far down the rabbit hole?

  @JD-shifty - Perhaps @piggy-iron has an inside line? "we’re no longer a democracy on Wednesday." Well, if the fascist tRumpian hords are successful in keeping a psychopathic pathological liar in office......

  slavuta, "Democracy is when democratic party rules." What else would it be? If the republican party ruled it would be a republic. Gee, I never realized it was that simple.

  @slavuta Republic indicates a representative type of government. Democracy indicates the common people rule. We are a Democratic Republic. The common people choose their representatives.

  @Peter Gazis In a republic, representatives may or may not be elected. Example: Rome.

Sirs, perhaps would be a good day to read, or reread, Letter from a Birmingham Jail.

"Housekeeping: In Which TTAC Observes MLK Day" How does it occur to people to get pissed about this headline? Politics not only ruins everything, it makes a lot of 'we the people' unable to think.
