A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD BE AS ODIFOROUS

by Bob Walsh

The Sovereign state of Virginia has just renamed two state parks. Lee Park in Charlottesville, named after Robert E. Lee, is now Emancipation Park. Jackson Park, named after "Stonewall" Jackson, has been renamed Justice Park.

There is currently a move under way to rename Washington Park as "Old White Slaveholder Bastard State Park."

Actually I just made up that last one ... I think.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The PC crazies will insist on changing the names of anything connected to slavery. There is the state of Washington. Then there are the cities of Houston and Jefferson, Missouri. There is Washington and Lee University. And the list goes on.
