Somebody tarred and feathered a memorial to Jefferson Davis
Suggesting that all those people currently wringing their hands over the fate of various southern Civil War monuments—claiming they can serve some sort of purpose, rather than simply being torn down—might actually have a point, a memorial to Confederate president Jefferson Davis has added some amusement to the world today, by being tarred and feathered by an ambitious group of Arizona activists. The statue in question is just a plaque, not a full statue of Davis, but the effect—initially reported on by a Fox affiliate in the state—is still pretty dramatic.
