Talk about the all-time fuckup. It seems a plaque meant to honor actor James Earl Jones was mistakenly imprinted with the name of Martin Luther King, Jr’s killer. It’s even sadder that the plaque was being awarded during a celebration of Mr. King’s life.

Of course, the plaque maker, Merit Industries says it was an honest mistake. I don’t believe it. Sure, I could see spelling Mr. Jones’ name wrong, but actually putting the name of the killer of the man being honored is just too coincidental. It is a sad, racist joke gone too far. Some idiot at Merit Industries thought it would be funny to mock the plaque up using that name, but forgot to change it in production. One of my favorite phrases can be used here: Fucking Dumbass. Not only is the guy racist, but he’s dumber than a damn rock.

A further result of the error of the extra day in November makes the entire month of December inaccurate and shows Christmas on Thursday instead of Wednesday.

But what I really want to know is how much did this farce cost us taxpayers? Can I write it off on my taxes? Does our edumakation system need overhauled if even our leaders don’t know what fucking day it is?

Things have gotten so bad for the discount retailer that Standard & Poor’s plans to delist the company at the close of trading today. And now that the stock has tumbled to $1.65, a New York Stock Exchange delisting may be in the near future. All of which makes me wonder: What are they gonna do with all those slushies and tubs of Superman ice cream …
