    The hategasm in Charlottesville is causing moar cities to remove their Confederate monuments. Including cities that weren't even planning on removing them.

    I know a woman who moved to Seattle from Memphis, and she told me a few weeks ago that there is actually a statue in the city of the original Grand Wizard of the KKK. I was in disbelief and had to Google it while she was talking to me.

    Nathan Bedford Forrest's status as original grand wizard is up for debate, but yeah it's there.

    Memphis is also one of the blackest cities in America.

    It's quite the powder keg.

    One of the most frightening shows I've ever watched was a documentary about crack and meth dealers in Memphis.

    I would have been embarrassed to make a post 7 months into Obama's term saying he would never do anything because he hadn't so far

    There has been progress and some of it even shows up on the scoreboard.

    Health care and taxes need to be addressed. Cut or raise isn't as important as knowing what the rules are going to be for the next few years

    Agree.

    Let me know when the President and Congress come up with workable plans for either one.
    I'm starting with the man in the mirror
    Are you axing him to change his ways?

    The message is pretty clear; no message could have been any clearer.

    My brother travels through there a lot. Since Hurricane Katrina especially, the hotel clerks literally tell guests, "If you go out tonight, you will be robbed."

    The Rendezvous? Best rib joint in the history of rib joints?

    Rendezvous is a must visit for the atmosphere and history, but it's not particularly good as far as Memphis ribs go. But you do need to try the sausage and cheese plate if you ever go there again.

    Central, Corky's, Memphis BBQ Co, and Germantown Commissary all have better ribs IMO, and there are probably others I haven't been to.

    There's BBQ everywhere here. As a former North Carolinian, former Oklahoman who spent time in Georgia, I am all in on Memphis BBQ. No other BBQ comes close (though I've never had KC BBQ and have heard very good things).

    Texas brisket is the shit though, my favorite non pork BBQ anywhere.
