Okay. I'm off to bed. I'm going to plan out my Coach K bronze statue.

I'm not sure there's a huge problem with statues and the like in the private sector, but: The private sector will take care of itself, in the same sense that you don't see successful businesses flying a Confederate flag. Remember, the CEOs on Drumpf's business councils did their best Road Runner impersonations after Drumpf's press conference.

Except for the guy in Durham, I think most of the statues are simply being relocated, to museums and cemeteries, and the like.

The guy in Durham, I think, may be beyond repair.

I think the bigger concern is statues at state and federal (and local) government buildings.

I mean, I've heard a lot of the statues are being relocated to Confederate cemeteries. I think that's right.

Melt it down, and build a Coach K.

Durham would love it!

I hate the statue in Durham was removed in such a way that people got arrested, but it's a piece of junk now.

How about a statue of Mike Krzyzewski to replace the Durham statue? He's a Republican.

Just to use as a reference tool.
