As one born and raised directly on the other side of the Potomac, I unreservedly endorse the Alexandria's City Council.

And on a closely related topic, the Washington Post got secret permission to film and report on the partial dismemberment of Charlottesville's REL statue -- Lest Democracy Die in Darkness! Deliciously beautiful filming, especially the glowing end of Bobby Lee's face; only a few modern demons merit the same fate of "glowing to hell".

A sidebar related: "The Washington Post spent a day watching foundry workers cut up parts of Charlottesville’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, including the head and sword, and melt those in a furnace. Post journalists were allowed to join on the condition they did not identify the foundry’s location and state or record the workers’ faces to protect them and the facility." (It appears that the horse was spared. If no better use for the horse can be found, then I nominate the back half to be joined to the torso of a personage who has 91 counts falling on his also-orange-but-not-yet-glowing head.)

(Wapo is a pay site and I couldn't find the "gift article" box to click.)
