    During his sermon of 50 years ago today, Martin Luther King also advised people not to spend too much money on their cars.

        since Dodge makes the cheapest, crappiest cars in America, they aren't off base on that

        ...but apparently Dodge thinks that pickup trucks are an entirely different proposition.

        Since everyone is talking about MLK today mind if I tell you that James Earl Ray did not kill him. It was a Memphis Police Officer who shot him although there was a military sniper team on the roof of the fire house. The cop shot first. Does anybody even care?

        Which art director is getting fired for that ad? Dodge will be changing agencies unless they want the Trumpites to be the sole owners of the Ram. Tasteless!
