Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks lies in state in the Capitol rotunda. I am genuinely awed. In spite of all that has gone wrong over the last fifty years (and especially the last five), at least this woman who came to represent the courage and fortitue of millions is receiving some portion of her due.

So far as I know, no-one has asked her to give up her seat to him, although I hope Trent Lott will be kept out of the rotunda, lest he mistake her casket for a seat.

They say that Alito, the new fascist choice for the Supreme Court, is going to make an appearance. In a just world, she'd jump out of her grave and kick him in the balls--supergee

What, were you expecting a Bushite to have a shred of decency?
