it's a sad day....

I'll bet Trent Lott wishes he had died a year earlier.

And earlier this week, we lost Lester Maddox - they are, indeed, dying out...

Maynard Jackson, Lester Maddox and Strom Thurmond all gone in one week.

Somebody must have told ol' Strom that the Supreme Court overturned Texas's sodomy laws.

I bet you Jesse Helms has his doctor on speed-dial.

Strom was ok for one of those guys. Unlike some of them, he did realize that times had changed and made adjustments. From my PoV he made at least one major positive contribution - he helped shift the South to the Republican side and that's made a difference that I consider all to the good.

I wonder how long Senator "KKK" Byrd will be with us?

Got that right.

As for my own thoughts, good riddance to bad rubbish.
