"Pastoral scene of the gallant South..."

Body and Soul has an excellent post regarding Billie Holiday's famous anti-lynching protest song "Strange Fruit" and Pat Buchanan's claim that Trent Lott's critics are "lynching" him...

Oh yeah, and Trent Lott's going to try to apologize on BET (Black Entertainment Television) FOR THE SECOND TIME tonight... too bad I don't get cable, it should be priceless.
