Imploding the narrative like the Truthers claim Bush did to the Twin Towers:
You will recall the incident of the beating of the black homeless man Sherman Ware on December 4, 2010 by the son of a Sanford police officer. The beating sparked outrage in the community but there were very few that stepped up to do anything about it. I would presume the inaction was because of the fact that he was homeless not because he was black.
Do you know the individual who stepped up when no one else in the black community would? Do you know who spent tireless hours putting flyers on the cars of persons parked in the churches of the black community? Do you know who waited for the church-goers to get out of church so that he could hand them flyers in an attempt to organize the black community against this horrible miscarriage of justice? ► Quote of the Day: Narrative Destroying Edition
Hint: it wasn’t Trayvon Martin.

Earlier today I saw a thing on The Weather Channel (perhaps more accurately known these days as TWNBC).
They were showing person-on-the-street comments from people visiting the beach in Chicago. In March. The Windy City has, like most of the country, endured an unusually mild winter.
One of the subjects is heard saying (I’m paraphrasing from memory), “Forty degrees difference from last year. It’s crazy.”
I remind you he said this in Chicago. In March. Where in a normal year a forty-degree difference from LAST WEEK would be unremarkable.
But remember: anytime it’s even so much as half a degree warmer than last [insert interval here], it’s climate. Whereas a cooling trend that held for 100 years would simply be weather (assuming it was acknowledged at all).

...for those pundits who tried to insist there’s no such thing as a Republican “establishment” with its own agenda that, in 2012, includes nominating an unvetted empty suit with nice hair because it’s his turn.
If you’re right that there’s no GOP establishment, why is it that whenever His Inevitableness’ inevitableness is made to look less inevitable, the knives all come out for the rival-of-the-moment?
This is America, people—we don’t do coronations here. Just because Mitzi Romneycare came in second last time doesn’t make him heir apparent this time.
It’s time y’all took a step back and pondered this comment posted the other day on another blog:
Anybody else consider the irony that the only candidate that can beat Obama can’t beat Newt Gingrich?
His Inevitableness is a lie. He isn’t even His Electableness. If the 2012 Republican ticket loses this November, it will be because your “nonexistent” party establishment wasted all this time and money trying to build an illusion of momentum for a guy nobody wants, instead of making sure your party’s nomination went to someone who actually could win.
Hell, your guys helped run off the candidates or potential candidates who could have pulled it off.
But as usual when the dust settles you’ll blame everybody else for not buying in to your Inevitable Electable fantasy.
Piss off.

It’s only January 3, and I’m already taking nominations for The 2012 Too Stupid to Live Awards. Today’s nominee:
The shooting renewed debate about a federal law that made it legal for people to take loaded weapons into Mount Rainier. The 2010 law made possession of firearms in national parks subject to state gun laws.
Bill Wade, the outgoing chair of the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, said Congress should be regretting its decision to allow loaded weapons in national parks. ► Police Confirm Body Found is Gunman Sought in Mount Rainier National Park Ranger Shooting
You know, while we’re at it, why don’t we also make it illegal to shoot and kill a National Park ranger? I mean, if this guy would have obeyed a law against taking his guns into the park, surely he would have obeyed one against murder, right?
Right?
In light of his earning this nomination, I hereby bestow upon Bill Wade the title, Fucking Idiot, First Class.
Wear it in good health, Bill.
