How old is Jesse now? I had forgotten about him when I was thinking about dead segregationists.
I am really glad that everyone's holding it down here in AKA-land. No one over in CC wants to talk about, or even remember, the reign of terror ol' Stromboy had going on for decades in the South (love that revisionist history!), but it cannot be denied. Even though in my recent memory, Strom has been basically a joke, we cannot forget how terrible a person he was in the 1950s and so on. It's not just racial stuff, either--the man was a chauvinist pig, even up to his last term in Congress.
Nothing bad has been said yet, like Refined Diva said--just the truth. If you can't handle the truth...
