If James Earl Ray had shot every negro standing on the balcony that day, could we take the WHOLE WEEK OFF, instead of just one day?

That is an old joke that the Greaseman, the morning jock on DC 101 made on air back in the 80s.I

In January 1986, Tracht created an uproar by telling an on-air joke regarding the new federal holiday, Martin Luther King Day. Tracht said, "Why don't we shoot four more and get the whole week off?" followed by, "Come on, now, you know I don't mean nothin'!" He was suspended from the station for five days, publicly apologized, and donated money to create a scholarship at Howard University in honor of Dr. King.[11] The Washington Post noted that he was the highest paid DJ in D.C. during 1987, making $400,000 a year.[6]
 
 

But, the question remains: Could we take the WHOLE WEEK off?

MLK was ex-communicated from the black church in 1961 but continued using the church as cover. He was and is a national disgrace, a fraud of a *** and has no business having a federal holiday named after him.

**** MLK.

Okay, my turn to tell a joke. 

The pope is doing a crossword puzzle and is stuck. 

A cardinal enters the Masturbatorium, and the pope says to the cardinal, "I need a four letter word for woman." The cardinal says, "lady."

The pope says, "I has to end in "unt."

The cardinal say,s "aunt."

The pope says, "That's IT! AUNT! Hey, hand me that eraser, will ya?"

Same radio station but a few years earlier:

The comment that brought Howard Stern his most notoriety during his time on Washington, DC radio in the early ‘80s was the infamous Fourteenth Street Bridge Incident. As morning man at “DC101” WWDC, Stern was reacting to the Air Florida flight that crashed into the bridge in February 1982. "What's the price of a one-way ticket from National to the Fourteenth Street Bridge?” he asked. “Is that going to be a regular stop?”While it was a make believe call – Stern never actually phoned the airline – the riff became legendary.

Why am I not surprised to learn it was a fake call that vaulted the puke to fame...

I listened to him later in the 80s when he went back to DC.  He was on 106.7.  THe tag line was WJFK, the station that starts with a bang.  That was before he became PC and woke. 

Can you even imagine how low on the genetic and intellectual totem poles one would have to be to consider MLK a hero?
