Super Bowl Ad of the Day: While Ford and GM duke it out on the sidelines, Chrysler looks poised to take home the championship ring yet again with its inspirational “Halftime in America” ad spot starring American institution Clint Eastwood.

The New York Times notes that the ad’s placement — halftime — will keep it off traditional post-game ad polls. I just hope it won’t be too embarrassing for the other ad agencies when they’re beat by a write-in candidate.

Happy Birthday Martin Luther King Jr.

As long as there is poverty in the world I can never be rich, even if I posses a billion dollars.
It is no longer a choice, my friends, between violence and nonviolence. It is either nonviolence or nonexistence.
The problem of racism, the problem of economic exploitation, and the problem of war are all tied together.
A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth.
The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism.
It is not enough to say ‘We must not wage war.’ It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.
A nation that continues year after year to spend more on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.
We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor.
When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.
