"May Day is to Labor Day as Martin Luther King, Jr. is to President Lyndon Johnson"

Zephyr Teachout takes Hillary Clinton's remarks in South Carolina as her point of departure in these May Day thoughts.

Dangerously mis-readable sentence: "In religious-right book news, the late Rev. Jerry Falwell's wife, Macel, has a new book about her husband coming out next month." I would probably have placed "coming out" after "new book" rather than after "her husband," just in order to, you know, avoid any confusion.
