Today is set aside to observe the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., which actually occurred last Thursday, and tomorrow is set aside to observe the inauguration of Barack Obama as 44th president of the United States, which will actually occur tomorrow. For more on those subjects, check out this post on Dr. Scot McKnight’s Jesus Creed blog.
But I have decided to post about something else. This is not to disparage in any way either Martin Luther King, Jr., or Barack Obama. I’m just funny that way. Sometimes I happily go along with the crowd, and sometimes I don’t. I have never tried to live my life according to majority opinion. In fact, when the whole world seems to be advocating A, it often happens that I consider the merits of B.
Can you name these four people? Do you know why they had their photo taken together?

You will receive extra points if you can also name the husband of the woman on the lower left and tell what he had to do with the people in the photo (besides being the husband of the woman on the lower left).
When you have amassed enough extra points, I have received enough emails to know that something wonderful is going to happen to you. I have no idea what.
