The big storm keeps heading for Washington D.C.,..and for Sunday Morning's MLK memorial dedication. USA Today reports the U.S. Park Service is keeping a close eye on the situation, but has not made any decision about disrupting the ceremony.
Organizers put the best face on it during the week, talking about the forces that tried to disrupt the Civil Rights movement itself, but today there was talk of at least delaying the dedication till Sunday afternoon, if need be.
Where's Jerry Falwell making grand pronouncements that God sent the storm because he is displeased with King? Although the earthquake damaged the Washington Memorial AND The National Cathedral, so....mixed messages from above?
You mean the Washington Monument, Tim.
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me--one of the smaller buildings on the grounds of the Washington Cathedral is called the Herb Cottage. They sell herbs there, cookbooks, etc.
Tourists sometimes ask directions to "Herb's Cottage."
Jerry Falwell is six feet under. Of course, there's still Pat Robertson (I think) who once prayed a storm away from his Virginia headquarters.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's Oral Roberts (also 6 feet under) who says he saw a 900 foot tall Jesus. Gee, I didn't know they make measuring tapes that long.
