Defending the honor of the Confederate flag. AOL News. We already explained why we honor it, and it ain't racist. Nobody remembers that wealthy Yankees had slaves during the war until the Emancipation Proclamation. We honor our southern brethren at Maggie's Farm every chance we get, for their valiant and hopeless struggle for freedom. And we are sort-of glad that they lost that effort - it was probably for the best in the long run. But worth all of those brave young lives? I doubt it. Slavery was a goner, anyway.

The "protests" in DC yesterday. A quote from Rick's piece:
History ended yesterday. Or at least one version of it. Or perhaps it didn’t end as much as it was overthrown, trampled by the feet of 30,000 ordinary Americans who gathered on the mall and along the broad avenues in Washington to confront those who have, either wittingly or witlessly, given aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States for more than 40 years.
Wow! The WaPo actually noticed!
Sunday evening tax music: Keb' Mo, Angelina. How good is this guy? And the best blues guitarist in the world - bear with it - wobbly at first. Impossible not to love this guy. White folks just don't move with music, do they? It's a genetic defect. Also, some rather old Buddy Guy, showing off a bit on The First Time I Met the Blues.
