Remains of confederate soldiers found on site of new KC sports arena
http://www.pitch.com/Issues/current/news/feature.html
The article is 5 pages long, so I didn't copy and paste it. It is a fascinating read, though. Basically, while excavating for the sports arena, they found the remains of 6 Confederate soldiers -- "Bartlett's Unfortunates." This makes the site of the downtown arena a historical monument and places the site under the state of Missouri's control. Several Confederate groups donated heavily to Gov. Matt Blunt's campaign, so he is pretty much in their pocket. They are insisting on a full-blown memorial for the soldiers, *including a confederate flag flying above the arena.* My favorite quote: ""You can kiss the NBA goodbye."
