Wasn’t McCain the Senator of Arizona when they refused to recognize MLK as a holiday?

July 7th, 2009

mr_cj_jr asked:

I believe that McCain was the Senator at the time when Arizona refused to recognize Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday as a National holiday.
In fact, they lost their 1st bid at a Super Bowl (later awarded AFTER they recognized MLK as a holiday) because of it.

Yet, people in here call Obama “racist”?
Hmmmm.

Thoughts?
Regarding “white” holidays: Every other holiday is a “white” holiday. Recognizing MLK’s contribution to America for ONE day shouldn’t be an issue.

How “closed” is London over the Christmas holiday?

July 4th, 2009

Mark V asked:

I am going to be in London over Christmas week (23 December to 28 December). I have been to London many times, but never over a major holiday. Is it hard to get around, do things, or go out to eat on Christmas Day? What about on Christmas Eve? Is Boxing Day a huge “closed” holiday?

Thanks! I am excited to see the city at Christmastime!
