I feel bad for guys named 'Jeff Davis' ...

... by associating them with the actual Jefferson Davis.

Great article but disturbing article.

It made me think, no that couldn't happen here.

On the other hand .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_State_Route_99 -

In 1939, the Washington state legislature named the road "Jefferson Davis Highway", making it the final component of the Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway, which the United Daughters of the Confederacy intended to travel through the South and up the west coast to Canada.[7] In 2002, the state's House of Representatives unanimously approved a bill that would have removed Davis' name from the road. However, a committee of the state's Senate subsequently killed the proposal.[8][9]
