They should be more concerned with the names of their over priced cookies.

Samoas are racist.

Thin Mints are an assault to body shapes.

On Obummer's planet.

This has been going on in Savannah ever since they build the new bridge (which most folks call the Big bridge, or, Savannah River Bridge).

Actually I thought that they had already renamed it.

As for Talmadge, he was a democrat crook. His son Herman Was a democrat crook. Time for them to go.

While I am no fan of the current Girl Scouts (good cover for avoiding buying the cookies...the delicious, yummmyyy...sorry), anyway. Juliette Gordan Lowe had and still does do a lot for our city. It would be an improvement.

Even better, name it after her mother. She was a hoot. When they were building her house, they asked her what she wanted the back of the house to look like. She said make it look like my fanny. So they did. During the War, she had some good sitting out on a blockade runner that couldn’t get past Ft. Pulaski. She put her rocking chair out on the deck of a tug and went out and got the goods. She said the Union troops were to much gentlemen to fire on a lady. She was right.

Great Southern stories. Lived in Savannah Beach, aka Tybee aka Fort Screven in the 60’s and commuted daily past Ft. Pulaski.

Lots of history being pushed under the rocks of PC.

The Girls Scouts are a liberal organization and no American girls should be in it...

So, renaming it from a segregationist, to the scandalously eclipsed Christian founder of what has become a marxist indoctrination cult.

I don’t mind the Girl Guides creator in America, but generally sick of this stripping any important figure who may have had non-PC leanings.

The fact he was against the New Deal is good for me. Of course to these asses, that’s bad.

For the better part of 30 years, I drank 6-10 12 oz coke products a day.

This commercial made me quit on the spot:

Girl Scout cookies gave too much abortion aftertaste for me.
