I moved last year from Seattle to a little fishing village on the Georgia coast. It was a good move.

Looks like the principal didn’t get the memo that the Confederates lost the war. Or is he just a poor winner?

[Brilliant]

I guess she did not want to go.

Have you gotten used to the heat yet?  That is pretty much the only thing that worries me about such a move...as a Seattle native, I'm acclimated to 55 degrees with a light, irritating drizzle for nine months of every year and I was VERY impressed by the heat and humidity of The South.  There were days when I would step out of the air-conditioned stoatmobile and all I could say was "WOW!" as the heat hit me like a sledgehammer  ;-)

We've been in a drought for a few years, so the heat tends to be dry most of the time. But last year we had the hottest summer since they started keeping records in 1874. I went from my air conditioned condo to my air conditioned car to my air conditioned destination.

The thing I miss most is my favorite Asian restaurants.

Yeeesh! Just tell her it makes her ass look really big! Problem solved.

I appreciate your reply, thank you. I guess I will just have to give it a try and see how I fare. I appreciated the incredible friendliness, graciousness and patriotism of Southerners (among many other things) so much that I’m willing to make an effort to make it work.

I know a thirty something mom named Arizona. Ma Barker’s actual first name.

She really screwed up. She should have worn something politically unoffensive at school, like Che Guevara, a hammer and sickle or a Muslim star and crescent moon. A dress with GW’s head on a platter would probably be unoffensive as well.

You can wear anything you want as long as it only insults white Christians.

“Hmmm, I could probably use this one again” ;-)

[Cringing Negativism Network]

When liberals do things like this, it’s “bold”.

When liberals don’t do it, it’s hate.

Liberals SUCK.

(sorry Mods, if that’s too honest please pull the post)

She says she does not understand why the dress was banned because students in school wear rebel flag shirts, hats, and belt buckles.

If this is true, then winning a lawsuit is certain. She should be happy - that school administrator just paid for her college degree.

If a gay male had worn the Confederate Dress would it have been OK??

I assume so...
