ObTredneckracistsandkukluxklansmengowild: If this tasty news was not bad enough, the bankrupt Winn-Dixie said today it will close about a-third of its stores (including all of its Virginia stores) with a net loss of 22,000 of 78,000 jobs. Winn-Dixie is no longer important or of any relevance as WalMart is the new retail outlet of 'po-white-trash' everywhere, followed by Kmart, Costco and Aldi in that order. I figure with both of these stories hitting on the same day should be just enuf to put a whole lot of ignorant white trailer trash poebuckers over-the-edge in the comming days.... The africoons were apparently celebrating in Va in advance of the verdict over the weekend: Vandals Spray Black Paint Over Faces In Confederate Monument 2:39 pm EDT June 21, 2005 PORTSMOUTH, Va. -- Vandals damaged the city's monument to Confederate soldiers by spraying black paint over the faces of statues representing four white rebel fighters. The damage was discovered during the weekend at the memorial, which consists of a 56-foot-tall granite pillar surrounded by four metal figures representing the navy, cavalry, infantry and artillery branches of the Confederate military. All are white. "I think the Civil War is still sensitive to a segment of the South," Nancy Perry, the city's museum director, said Tuesday. Police had made no arrests. A metal conservator could begin work to clean up the statues this weekend. The monument, dedicated in 1893 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was scheduled for an $80,000 restoration this year. ---------------- Oh well, I guess the few remaining Va Klansmen shouldn't be too upset as they probably would enjoy a good Minstrel Show in 2005 and thus could think of their heroes in bronze as wearin blackface? |
