Thanks for chiming in, not much action in my corner for awhile.

I went looking for irony here but it turns out that the minority prison population down there does not make license plates after all, they just pick cotton like their ancestors did 200 years ago.

Richard, I'm with you, my

Richard, I'm with you, my friend. I'm not about to make nice with the Repubs. They'll take it as a sign of weakness and eat me for breakfast. I see no signs of reconciliation from them, and even if I did I wouldn't trust them.

I'm in South Carolina for another month and a half and I'm laying low when it comes to my liberal Yankee roots. Saw a truck the other day with a Confederate-flagged bumper sticker: FIGHTING TERRORISM SINCE 1861. Who can blame them for taking their defeat hard--even after 150 years?

I get it that they don't like us northerners. I'm seeing a whole slew of bumper stickers like this one: If they're Snow Birds can we shoot 'em?

That one I'm taking personally.

I think that this General Forrest stuff is old-school Confederacy whitewashing. Heck, it's the Sons of Confederate Veterans who are behind it. And yeah, they're probably Republicans now, but their daddies were almost certainly Democrats, and they were probably pro-labor to boot.

Oh America has come a long long way.

I am just overcome with despair over the new right hyperbole sometimes.

You could not talk like these hate mongers and stay on TV or radio two decades ago.

Now they get away with murder!

For those who like poetic justice, you should take a drive through Stone Mountain Park. This park, with its granite bas relief of the heroes of the confederacy, which was once owned by a Grand Wizard of the KKK, is now a multicultural haven for people wanting to run/walk/bike on a pleasant 5-mile course around the mountain.

Hey DD, it's Forrest, I think. My parents used to live on General Forrest Ct. in Nashville, TN. There were two Jewish families, a black family, and an Asian family living on the cul-de-sac, which I suppose is some kind of poetic justice.
