Morristown Green's Podcast Morristown Green

The economic implosion of 2008 had precious few upsides, but we got one of them: Cartoonist Paul Laud. His illustrated limericks skewer politicians left, right and center every Tuesday on MorristownGreen.com. Paul Laud learned the power of cartoons as a Princeton undergrad way back in the '70s...something about a food fight. Then his mighty quill lay dormant for three decades. What revived his satirical career--and how does he keep his quill so razor-sharp? Aspiring pundits and cartoonists should tune into this interview by Kevin Coughlin for MorristownGreen.com.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of a "Beloved Community" remains just that--a dream, says Justin Bush, a senior at Morris Knolls High School in New Jersey.

There is no room for complacency if the dream is ever to be realized, Justin tells the packed Calvary Baptist Church in Morristown on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jan. 17, 2011.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King was a preacher, we are reminded by the Rev. Carolyn Ann Knight, who preaches here about the care and feeding of our dreams. Dreams are as vital to a society's health as to an individual's, she says. A dearth of dreams led an assassin to kill the civil rights leader, and prompted another deranged man to shoot 19 people outside a Tucson Safeway store, the preacher says.

Rev. Knight, a guest preacher from Georgia, delivers her remarks at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day service at Calvary Baptist Church in Morristown, NJ, on Jan. 17, 2011. She is introduced by the Rev. Sidney Williams Jr., new pastor of the local Bethel AME Church.

Janet Broderick, rector of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Morristown, NJ, traces the inner journey of Martin Luther King Jr., and challenges us to dig deeply within ourselves to find meaningful purposes for our lives.

She suggests--humorously--that our time on earth should be more than a series of holiday sweater sales and celebrity sightings at funerals. (Specifically, her own.)

Rev. Broderick's talk is from the 26th annual Morris Interfaith Breakfast on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jan. 17, 2011, at the Hyatt Morristown. She is introduced by Rabbi Donald Rossoff of Temple B'Nai Or in Morristown.
