[quote=Anonymous]The logo joins a long list of head scratching events in that Arlington is doing in the name of something or another.

My two recent favorites are re-naming Lee Highway after Republican Congressman John Langston.  No one on the ACB or the re-naming committee realized that Langston was a Republican in heavily Democratic Arlington.

The second favorite is a citizen who brought up the 19th anniversary of Charles Monroe's death at the ACB meeting.  None of the dullards on the board knew that Charles Monroe was chairman of the Arlington County Board and died while conducting a Board meeting.   Nor did they know -- as the citizen brought up -- that he is honored every year by the County Board during Black History Month.

It is also interesting that the County wants to do away with Arlington House because of its connection to Robert E. Lee but they celebrate the progeny of the home's builder and an enslaved woman by calling their school administration building after the Syphax family.
