(Hat tip to the SpatulaGoddess - long may she exude massive quantities of hawtness.

Item: Ted Nugent wore a Confederate shirt to the Big Dickhead Perry inaugural the other day. (And no, this is not to bash Ted Nugent - as long as Big Dickhead serves in any sort of public orifice, I'm going to call him that.)
Anyway, the NAA(L)CP is, typically, kvetching about it.

The black folks I know don't have a problem with it, 'cause they know me & know it isn't about race.
