Times That Try Men's Souls: A Band, Bad Professors?, NASCAR Zealots and Nancy

Here are some articles in the Chicago Tribune of late.

**  Lady Antebellum changes name.  You know, antebellum is used to describe the South before the Civil War.

**  "One Tree Hill" stars asks fans to help fire fire professor.  (A professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, who said "Massa Cooper, let my people go!"  UNC-Chapel Hill?  Wasn't that the place where professors likely urged students to tear down the "Silent Sam " statue in a hate crime?)

Also, kind of strange that those "One Tree" folks had nothing to say about the that professor from UAB who tweeted about how to pull down a statue.  Why hasn't she been fired?  Oh yes.  Birmingham, Alabama, where the mayor has broken the law and is proud of it.

**  About that NASCAR ban.  The Chicago Tribune had two hate-filled commentaries about how bad everyone who supports anything Confederate is.  Those two would be Kevin Williams and Eric Zorn.  Hate, hate, hate guys.  Man, that's a lot of hate-spewing.

**  Pelosi orders Confederate portraits removed.  Those of four previous Speakers of the U.S. House who served in the Confederacy:  Robert Hunter, James Orr, Howell Cobb and Charles Crisp.  Charles Crisp was not a Speaker until after the war.

Maybe, since she's one of those Democrats, and you know how they are about the "S" word, she should also remove the names of Southerners who may have or may not have owned the "S" word.  Those would be Nathaniel Bacon, Henry Clay, Langdon Cheves, Phillip Pendleton Barbour, Andrew Stevenson, John Bell, James K. Polk, John White, John Winston Jones and Linn Boyd.
