Neo-Nazis Keeping the Highway Kosher for You

Unable to make any serious in-roads to political power, a Missouri-based Neo-Nazi group actually adopted one last year. The state wasn't able to block the civic minded racists from joining the Adopt-a-Highway program, and so the purge began...on litter. The Springfield chapter of the National Socialist Movement happily applied their White Power to the Black top but the state had the last laugh. This year Missouri added an amendment to a state transportation bill which will rename the bigoted byway the "Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel highway"! (story here)

Rabbi Heschel narrowly escaped the Nazi's former attempts of "cleanup" in WWII, and later marched with Martin Luther King Jr. Heschel's daughter is none too thrilled and neither are the Nazis who call this "a lame attempt to insult National Socialist pro-environment/green policies."
Insert "color" related joke here.

As a demon, I know too well that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. And I applaud the attempts of the Nazis to spew hate while clearing debris but I must confess I love kicking someone in the asphalt when they are down.

I wonder if it's possible to put a mosque off of that highway. Hmmm.

You Say Swastika, I Say...Swastika

As I've said before, I don't know much about fashion. But I know what I like. Apparently the Spanish fashion retailer Zara has been selling handbags decorated with dainty, little symbols of the Third Reich (see story). Sadly, no, this does not mean that black, red, and brown are finally coming back into style. The symbols themselves predate Hitler's Funtime Boys, by centuries. Swastikas are ancient Hindu and Buddhist symbols for strength and good luck, but a British shopper did not feel blessed to find them on her newly purchased accessory. She complained and Zara pulled the bags.

Oh well, that's the coming and going of a promising fad. I've never been more disappointed since when I found out "hoodies" didn't cover the whole head.

Produced by Himmler Brothers...

Ah the days of one's youth. Remember those carefree days when it was raining outside and you had nothing to do? You and your siblings would go to the closet to pull down a game from the top shelf and while away the hours...bombing the crap out of England! Well now you can relive those memories this Thursday if you have at least $600. Mullock's auctioneers in Ludlow, Shropshire, UK is auctioning off a collection of Nazi board games (story here). Who says hate mongers don't like to have a bit of fun?
