Excellent work, comrade Coby. We can liberate the peoples from their false consciousness by exposing the white male patriarchy for they oppressors that they are. This country is founded on class exploitation of the masses, best exemplified by the popular deification of the slave-oppressor Washington. Since revolutionary direct confrontation has failed, we must remake the social-political structures by stripping the working class of their subservience to the class exploiters. Purge the history books! Onward!

Comrade JF, newly re-educated to the glories of Political Correctness. Burn the Battle Flag!

Unlikely that Judah P. Benjamin ever cheated at anything. He was brilliant and a gentleman. He was, of course, a Jew. As was said about Yosarian in Catch 22 when he was being court-martialled:

"They'll kill him in there. They hate Jews."
"But Yosarian isn't Jewish!"
"You don't think that will stop them!"

Someone check me on this.

There are interesting articles on the web about Jewish confederate soldiers.

I am just told by my wife that the geckos are eating jelly in our kitchen. I hope they enjoy it as much as we.

You're being funny, right?
I just can't let people think he really did cheat-- !
He was at the top of his class and there are no signs that he cheated on his academic work. It has been assumed that he was cheating at cards or engaged in some other form of gambling on campus.

Wasn't it Ted Kennedy who cheated at U Va? Was he expelled-- I can't remember
