on balance.

On the one hand, we have:

  • Fort Sumter and the War Between the States (a.k.a. the War of Northern Aggression)
  • Strom Thurmond and the Dixiecrats
  • Susan Smith
  • Hootie & the Blowfish
  • The Confederate Flag (still flying)
  • Bottom five in SAT and ACT scores…again
  • The USC frat boys from Borat
  • Caitlin Upton
  • Lindsy Grahm (never married…really?)
  • Joe Wilson
  • Mark Samford and hiking the Appalachian trail
  • The Black Friday No Sales Tax Gun Sale

 

And on the other:

  • Stephen Colbert

 

It’s a start.
