Edward Sebesta (a.k.a. "crawfish") and author of the Anti-Neo-Confederate blog was no doubt riding on a high when the History News Network published his letter (co-authored by James Loewen) asking President Obama not to send a wreath to the Arlington Confederate Memorial this past memorial day, a tradition that has been honored since the presidency of Woodrow Wilson.

The letter even garnered the attention of ABC News. Sebesta surely had visions of pissed-off Confederates dancing in his head when he wrote on his May 28th, 2009 post:

"A short essay by James Loewen has just been published online at the History News Network.

Incidentally, I have a new blog http://arlingtonconfederatemonument.blogspot.com/ where I will be tracking the campaign around the Arlington Confederate monument."

I clicked on the link. The controversy lasted long enough for Sebesta to author two whole posts before Obama sent the wreath.

In the end it turns out that the "Anti-Neo-Confederate" was "Anti-Climatic".
