re: Robert E. Lee monument coming down NOW

I honestly believed that this one would never come down. I just didn't think the insanity ran that deep. Obviously, I was wrong. Landrieu's pandering bitch arse knows no bounds.

The absolute insanity is that people still revere leaders of a failed rebellion that was fought to protect the inhuman bondage of other people.

The spotlight isn't so favorable and Mitch seems to have pissed people off on this issue. Instead of getting friendly coverage from a one statue a week removal we are in "get it over ASAP" mode.

Enjoy your ~$250K cush and meaningless post mayoral SJW job Mitch.

Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train
'Till Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember, oh so well

The night they drove old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down, and the people were singin' they went
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me
"Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E Lee"
Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest,
But they should never have taken the very best

The night they drove old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down, and the people were singin' they went
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,

Like my father before me, I will work the land
Like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet,
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat

The night they drove old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing,
The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the people were singin', they went
Na, la, na, la, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na,

Barricades going up

I don't live in New Orleans. But as a Louisiana resident, let me say how exciting it is to know that we've got a city on the verge of becoming a world class destination both in terms of population, industry and innovation as well as culture. Look out Houston and Atlanta. We've figured out the problems and we're coming.


Marvelous Mitch! The savior you never knew you needed.

Was in town Tuesday and snapped a pic.

I haven't really care about the statues one way or the other but this really sucks.

Are they going to take down the whole column and everything, or just the statue at the top?

This guy is a trip, everyone needs to watch him. He speaks the truth!
