Not sure about a title, but...

I had to share.  Here in the South (or at least Alabama):
  • Martin Luther King, Jr. shares his holiday with Robert E. Lee
  • We celebrate Confederate Memorial Day (4th Monday in April) and Jefferson Davis' birthday (1st Monday in June)
  • The Civil War really is referred to as "the War of Northern Aggression"
  • The people living up North really are referred to as "Yankees"
  • Also...
 
This is a picture I took at Stone Mountain last week of the Confederate Memorial Carving which is the largest high relief sculpture in the world, depicting Confederate heroes Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.  Basically the Mount Rushmore of the South.
 
There's always something new/different to experience in the South.  If you think this is a joke, just come visit.  We'll make a believer out of you. :)
