Breaking News: Intelligence Discovered in South

From TPM: finally a sign that intelligence life still exists in the South.

In Richmond today for a one-day session to consider amendments to Gov McDonnell's racist legislation, some members of the Virginia General Assembly “are wearing black ribbons in memory of ancestors who were held in slavery”:

“This is why I can celebrate Confederate History Month,” said Del. Jeion A. Ward (D-Hampton). “I am celebrating the thousands of African slaves brought to this Commonwealth for forced labor and in spite of societal restrictions and countless tribulations, they became some of the most learned men of all time. Yes, they found a way out of no way. … So today I and some of my colleagues wear this black ribbon as a symbol of our profound sadness for the horrors our ancestor faced and had to endure under the institution of slavery. But we also join in are celebrating with you because they finally found a way out.”

Also today, The House of Delegates agreed to adjourn in honor of “the thousands of slaves who played an important role in the building of the wealth of the commonwealth and for those who called Virginia their home,” as well as civil rights pioneer Dorothy Height.

I just wish the AZ legislature had some of these same folks.

The Arizona legislature does have sane, smart folks. They are called "democrats." There just aren't enough of them to vote down the madness.
