What's worse, Santa Carla vampires or Grammar Nazis?

I loved that old bastard in that film.

The bastard vampire or the player grandpa?

Oh, so you are fine with honoring people that took up arms against your country over slavery?

Not what it's about Penner, though it may be for you, I don't want to put words in your mouth. In a free society we should be able to interpret history for ourselves. These folks are forcing their intolerance on everyone else.

If these memorials go down, people won't just forget the Holocaust.

This is fun.

Workers in Charlottesville, Va. shrouded statues of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson in black on Wednesday as the city grappled with an outbreak of deadly violence at a white nationalist rally earlier this month.

Workers used ropes, poles and cherry-pickers to hoist what appeared to be a black tarpaulin over both statues as onlookers took photos and video. Some in the crowd surrounding the Lee statue cheered as the cover was put in place.



"It's great. It's a good start," said Jamie Dyer, who spoke from Justice Park, where the Jackson statue is located. "They do have to go, but it is a start, and I'm glad the city has finally recognized it has to happen on some level."

Why is statuary, as "public" property, even a thing?

Why am I paying, against my will, for someone to even clip the grass around any kind of statue?

Put a black bag over all of Washington City, and twist the twisty-tie an extra turn.

Take em all down.

Move to Somalia, then.

Somalia FTW.

Way to go, winner.

It's a fitting Memorial to Tarp Man who died in peaceful protest.

Fuck that, just wrap all of DC in it, and save this country the need for revolution.

Ya know, the funny thing is that I will bet you that there's prominent Dems out there with Grandparents and Great Grandparents involved with erecting these memorials.

I wonder if there would be a market for little dashboard statuettes of General Lee giving the Roman salute out at the traffic ahead.
