This just in on the AP wire:

RICHMOND, Va. 

Virginia lawmakers killed legislation today that would have made Virginia
part of the national commemoration of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday.

 . . . Robert Lamb of Richmond, a member of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans, told the committee that Lincoln ... quote ... "sent armies into
Virginia to lay waste to our land." 

***

I guess "with malice toward none" doesn't cut it any longer.  Do I hear
anyone saying "Get over it"?
