BUSH has left 'em swinging in the trees...again?
Anybody see Oprah...the drowned black man hanging from a tree limb face down?

It wasn't too long ago that lots of men like him swung from tree limbs all over the south.

Just seemed so surreal to me--and yet it sent a powerful message. The regressives have come full circle. Blacks have been put back in their place.

:cry:

1. Strange Fruit.
Powerful blues song about lynching; I think it should be re-released.

2. Not true. As long as the rest of us still care, then it's just a case of
a mass murderer. Get rid of the criminals, and life improves for all of us.
