Charlottesville is going to melt down the Robert E. Lee statue that set off the whole Nazi thing a few years ago.

Can't even smelt it since it's a "tacky polyurethane statue"...

I actually like the idea of it being put somewhere that isn't glorifying him or it. But maybe in some sort of display telling the history of all the turds involved in this monstrosity. Just with a title: "Just Look at This Shit"

why isn't that bonkers horse wearing a bridle? And he thinks it's a good idea to fire a pistol on it? I mean the person himself was terrible as was his statue, but someone actually put some sort of effort into it. It's like it was made by someone who had never seen a horse or a person before.

It looks like Julia Child as seen under water, during an earthquake.

According to Maddow, he left the dog $5 million, about $4,9 million more than he had. Quite the kidder, that boy.

I never saw it in person but I was born and raised in east Tennessee, and IMO from the photographs it was the finest statue in the region. At least, I never saw a better one.

I don't get that Rock City was racist in any sense. No more than Chattanooga's other contribution to culture, the Moon Pie.

How can you use the verb incline without directing travelers to the Incline Railway? Or was that a sly joke?

If you are directing Wonketeers to tourist sites, you deserve a big FAIL for missing Cleveland, home to not one but 2 - count 'em, two -- international religions, the Church of God and the Church of God in Christ; which I swear is where the Monty Pythons got the Palestine Liberation Front/Liberation Front pf Palestine trope.

As a proud native of Chattanooga, I cannot pass on mentioning that it is home Chattpharm, which hoovered up all the useless patent medicines and turned them into a kind of conglomerate of stupidity.
