		Here's 
		something we haven't seen in a while ... local creeks full and 
		overflowing.  Joe Funk, a caretaker at Kickapoo Creek 
		Park, said Thursday he saw the water in the creek rise about a foot in the course 
		of two hours. A visit to Madigan Park showed that Salt Creek is 
		also filling to the brim.

			Lightning strikes downtown 
			Huntsville, Ala., as strong storms move into Madison County on Thursday 
			afternoon. A strong spring storm that socked the 
			Midwest with ice and heavy, wet snow made its way east, raking the 
			South with tornadoes Thursday, with three deaths blamed on the rough 
			weather and thousands of people without power.

A 
member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy collects Confederate flags 
after the Confederate Memorial Day ceremony at Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston, 
S.C., on May 10, 2011. Southern white men don't usually drive racial 
dialogue. For as long as race has riven America, they have been depicted more 
often as the problem than the solution. So the country music star Brad Paisley 
must have been unsurprised at the days of widespread criticism of his new song 
"Accidental Racist," which details the challenges facing a "white man from the 
Southland" and then features LL Cool J rapping from a black perspective.
