Duh, neither was I. I'm speaking hypothetically.

Yes, Trent Lott is gone. But let's not fool ourselves into thinking he's the only one of his kind.

John Ashcroft to Southern Partisan Magazine, 1998:
"Your magazine also helps set the record straight. You've got a heritage of doing that, of defending Southern patriots like Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis. Traditionalists must do more. I've got to do more. We've all got to stand up and speak in this respect, or else we'll be taught that these people were giving their lives, subscribing their sacred fortunes and their honor to some perverted agenda."

And this is the guy who holds much of the responsibility for enforcing civil rights laws in America! (Not an original thought, I admit: The American Prospect)

Perhaps now that Lott's gone, we can close this thread. Especially since a discussion on Ann Coulter threatens to go on, and since Coulter is nothing more than a right wing propaganda writer, surely we can let that go...

It appears that the rain has momentarily stopped in SF....(in the midwest, we fill in silences with talk of the weather.. )

Oh, some of us seem to be expressing ourselves

Or better yet, watch those Ukrainian boxers from the "Hot Jocks" thread!
