Tropical Storm Lee Could Smack East Coast With 65 MPH Winds!!
Hopefully Lee doesn’t come ANYWHERE NEAR the east coast but reports are saying that it could– should it still have strength after it hits the states on the gulf coast. However, after seeing how much damage Irene caused up here, I’m worried for Louisiana which sits in the direct path of storm because the Hurricane Center says Lee will test the levees built post-Katrina.

Mississippi under fire for considering KKK leader and Confederate hero on license plate
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour has come under fire for failing to condemn efforts by the state’s Sons of Confederate Veterans to institute a license plate commemorating Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Historically, Forrest has been both hailed for his military brilliance and condemned for his brutality both during and after the Civil War. The general infamously slaughtered black Union troops that surrendered at Fort Pillow Tennessee in 1864 and became a Grand Wizard in the KKK after the war ended. @funkmasterflex
