Tonight’s quiet musical interlude is provided by the Foo Fighters, who brought their tasteful adult rock stylings to Jon Stewart’s show last night.
(Their new album Wasting Light is great, by the way. You should get it.)

Butch Vig, who produced Nevermind, produced this LP (yes it’s available on vinyl as well as CD). In addition, Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic appears on a track called “I Should Have Known,” which Vig thinks has references to Kurt Cobain.
Coincidentally, this is the 20th anniversary year of Nirvana. Hmmmm….

One of the anti-Confederates, a chap from New Jersey, has actually accused Robert E. Lee of running a whorehouse on the side during the War. This blasphemy naturally has put the Lost Causers into a frothing, blue-faced rage. Good thing all those bullets they hoarded can’t be used over the net.

From the depths of Freeper-ville and their Civil War comes this nugget of wisdom about New Jersey:
Yes, NJ believes in such rights that one cannot even own weapons there without much paperwork and the threat of confiscation. THAT NJ? Can you carry a pistol in your car without registration? Can you have 100 rifles that aren’t registered in your house and carry them to a shoot? How safe are you in downtown Newark unarmed?
Who the hell needs to have 100 unregistered rifles in their house and why would they carry them all anywhere? That makes no sense.

People who apparently think they are still fighting a 150 year old war, that’s who. The Civil War never ended for these people. They have the same mindset their ancestors did and they need those guns for when the Feds come for them. And that ain’t snark either.

The south used that principle of coercion to accept government that people didn’t want, forcing bad government on black slaves, and denying that Northern states could ban slavery within their boundary. The principle of the US government is rule of law, whether you want it or not. True, most criminals and traitors will protest that they do not want law that condemns them, but there are legal remedies to bad law, such as petition, pardon, appeal, and election. The southern rebellion was made to overthrow law, for the sake of the institution of human slavery

I really hate it when people are polite and use nice-sounding phrases for ugly things, jettisoning justice to achieve it.
Sometimes, you can be polite at the expense of being accurate. (I was explaining this to my five year old son, in smaller words, as he was pointing out to me that a nearby woman was fat.) I’m against being polite at the expense of being fair.

Freedom for them from what? Were they being enslaved by the North?
In their minds, yes. The North was trying to outlaw the system that kept the ruling class of the South in its position of privilege. For the South to concede to limits on slavery within US territory meant (in the Southern mind) that slave state would inevitably be outnumbered by free states, after which slavery would be slowly ground under. That was, indeed, the approach advocated by Abraham Lincoln and it was why the slaveholders hated him. So they decided to secede and maintain their ill-gotten gains.
In that same spirit, Neo-Confederates call all Illinois Republicans RINOs, to which I answer that those Republicans who live in the Land of Lincoln cherish his memory and honor his desire for freedom. I say that that makes us the true heirs to Lincoln, and I say that it is the neo-Confederates who really are RINOs.

Remember that big prick senator? Can’t remember his famous name. But he raped the 16 yr old maid when he was 19 and on dying day admitted it? And the daughter. Same as before. Absolute low lifes. In power. Gah
Strom Thurmond.
He “admitted” it long before his dying day; he paid her years of support, and put the child through college, she and the daughter came to visit him a few times, he corresponded with her (while of course continuing to support segregation). Everybody in his family knew about it; there’s a theory that maybe he really did love the maid (for some versions of the word “love”) but of course any sort of open relationship was completely out of the question. He didn’t marry until he was well into his 40’s.
The daughter came forward after his death (she was a retired schoolteacher in her 80’s, grandmother of four), and Thurmond’s family issued a very terse statement to the effect of “yes it’s true, we prefer not to discuss it.”
