Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

Washington Post’s Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Motown is Joe-Town!

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

Church Fires Continue Unrest In Ferguson

by | 6 Comments

This post is in: 

Unrest continues in Ferguson, Missouri, and the surrounding area. Seven fires have been set at predominantly black churches in the area since October 8. The question is whether the fires are connected and the motive in setting them off:

The possibility that the fires — set since Oct. 8 — were motivated by hate is being considered as part of the investigation, St. Louis Fire Capt. Garon Mosby told the Associated Press. “We believe that this fire-setting activity is meant to send a message,” Mosby said in a statement to BuzzFeed News.

The St.Louis Fire Department has set up a reward for any information that would lead to the arrest of those responsible for the fires.

Team Blackness also discussed a San Jose cop fired for combative tweets surrounding Black Lives Matter, a Maryland cop arrests a man and threatens his girlfriend over a nonexistent “breast feeding violation” and Sesame Street introduces its first autistic character.

    IIRC, since the 1960s any church fire is an automatic trigger for the FBI to investigate. Hopefully they’ll catch this asshole before someone gets hurt.

    Also, I think I heard that the most recent church to be hit by the firebug was a mostly white church, which seems like a last-second attempt by the perp to try and conceal his/her actual motive.

    “The St.Louis Fire Department has set up a reward for any information that would lead to the arrest of those responsible for the fires.”

    ANY information? Okay, how about “white, right-wing, GOPer”. Start the profiling.

    No shit. It took them 8 fires to figure that out?

    @WaterGirl: Burning churches to send a message?

    What would it take to get White officials (law, fire & media) to use the word “terrorism”?

    1. If the terrorists made a recording and describe their work as “terrorism” at least three times.
    2. If they were Muslim.
