    Is it a good idea to put a Nazi sympathizer on the $10 bill?

    Why not? The US is no stranger to poor taste. Or should we flush him down the memory hole like the Confederate flag?

    And, pfft, he's still like half the asshole that our boy Edison was.

    ...

    We would also have accepted Carlos Ray Norris for the $10.

    ...

    Great people/things are invariably flawed.

    Satriani is good; but we have rules about dead folk on bills. I'd go with Hendrix on the $10

    if you want poor taste we can go with Margaret Sanger. Her personal views were 'interesting' to say the least.

    What is this 'Confederate Flag' you speak of? I just know it is a bad thing that should be banished from public or private and it caused racism, at least half of the problems we have now, probably a hurricane or two, and likely wiped out the American Indians as well. I am fairly certain that both Columbus and the Mayflower were flying it from the mast when they arrived to wipe out the locals on these shore.
    Oh pardon me, I must have been watching CNN.

    The flag hasn't been outlawed or banished. It has just been removed from government property. One is free to parade about with their flags held high.

    On a serious note I fully agree with the decision to remove the Virginia battle flag from government property in South Carolina or anywhere else. My smartass comment was referring more to idiocy like calling the General Lee or the entire Dukes of Hazzard show offensive, racist, or whatever else along those lines. The only thing offensive is the sheer stupidity of people crying over a tv show that never showed one trace of racism and a bounty of good examples from the start.

    You left off the $3 Bill for Hillary Clinton. As in "Phony as a three-dollar bill.":)

    Chuck Norris for the $10 bill. I would open Photoshop myself right now but food and/or rest is more important.
