  this highway cleaned by the KKK

Several states lost an appeal to the Supreme Court on Monday which would have allowed states to refuse to let groups like the KKK participate in roadside clean-up programs.

Instead, in the interest of free speech, you may soon see states thanking groups like the KKK for helping to pick up litter with official state signs along stretches of our highways.

Hey, since groups with any kind of agenda are apparently allowed to participate in these programs, I propose forming a group with the name "Ashamed of Bush Jr." or something similar and cleaning up many miles of Oregon's roads. The court has spoken - it's our right.

And by the way, advocates of free speech everywhere apparently have this man to thank. What would we do without those upstanding Baptist ministers who devote their lives to "standing up for their white Christian faith"?

I'm sure Jesus is proud.
