++President Obama said yesterday that the Confederate Flag belongs in a museum. People were outraged that the flag wasn't taken down or at least lowered to half-mast. Ed Kilgore at Washington Monthly went on a tirade as a Southerner about its being a disgrace.
++But Joe Lapointe at the Detroit Free Press suggested that since it is a symbol of racial hate and ,in other writers' views, treason, just burn it. We have seen the last few years of Tea Partiers and Sovereign Citizens parading around with it. Why not burn it?
++I got carried away by suggesting Charleston be burned down again. But Lapointe has a more moderate and effective solution--Burn the Rebel flag.
