Perplexing. Kudos from SLF and The Wizard on consecutive posts. To paraphrase an earlier thought, I'm either very, very right or very, very wrong.

[The Oracle]

I just think you're probably pretty right.

I've told you over and over that we agree much more than disagree. . Time to rethink your life.

Really, if we sit and really think about it this is true of most Americans, lefties and normal people too.;-)

So, you're saying that people seek out conflict despite the facts? I guess we media are no longer needed! Sniffsniff, but I guess I'm going on vacation forever. See ya...

Shut the fuck up hack!

One of the four monuments removed in New Orleans was erected in 1891 to honor the White League rioters who briefly took over the city of New Orleans from Federal forces in 1872. The White League was a whites-only paramilitary force that resisted Reconstruction across the South, but didn't survive the period in the way the KKK did.

In 1932 the segregationist government of New Orleans saw fit to add the following inscription to this beloved monument. I cannot fathom why anyone would believe that this piece of trash was so important historically that it must forever stand prominently in a public park:

[Democrats] McEnery and Penn[18] having been elected governor and lieutenant-governor by the white people, were duly installed by this overthrow of carpetbag government, ousting the usurpers, Governor Kellogg (white) and Lieutenant-Governor Antoine (colored).

United States troops took over the state government and reinstated the usurpers but the national election of November 1876 recognized white supremacy in the South and gave us our state.

On another note, did anyone watch the first episode of Burns' Vietnam last night? Thoughts?
