According to one source from San Francisco, McKinley is the latest victim because "McKinley's expansionist policies are now widely viewed as racist toward indigenous people. During his presidential tenure at the turn of the century, McKinley annexed tribal lands in the western U.S. and Hawaii in the name of Manifest Destiny."

That leaves some very wide doors open in the Western Hemisphere from the 1400s on...

Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison better watch out. Where do their memorials stand? They are going to have more than [a] Wounded Knee to worry about. The Sioux were likely nothing compared to the modern warriors who are set on destroying anything that gives them angst (or publicity).

I'm waiting for the backlash to a new home decorating fashion. It is now popular to hang cotton boll wreaths on doors and place vases with silk cotton boll stems on tables or kitchen counters. You can bet it won't be popular for very long. A certain state's first lady just learned the hard way.
