Memphis, the city that worships an overweight drug addict who overdosed in his own bathroom, is pondering white-washing Civil War history, because somebody might get 'offended'.

The grand irony behind the movement to strip the names off of Confederate Park, Jefferson Davis Park, and Forrest Park, is that the idea came up during a visit from HBO officials during last year's Lennox Lewis-Mike Tyson fight. The city that bent over backward to court a visit by a convicted rapist, is suddenly worried about what people might think.

I don't know about you, but I find the idea offensive.
