Tara

The city of Tara, deep in the heart of the Commonwealth of Tara, contains 450,000 souls, a major research university, the Commonwealth Congress, many excellent taverns, cafés, and night spots, several million bats, and statues of Elvis Presley and Jefferson Davis.

The Davis statue dominates a long plaza near the gates of the University, where it has become something of an embarrassment. Recently the Trustees commissioned a statue of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., which they erected at the other end of the plaza. The statue was to be dedicated on the 15th of January, but events in the Gulf forced a postponement.

Last time I looked, the cloths were still on.
