Inferior Third Season posted:I think it's that even Hillary thinks 'ugh Mark Penn', by not including him in cc on the forward, and explicitly telling her staff to "overlook the source". He's still leading in Iowa, though I'm not sure how relevant that is these days.

mdemone posted:So is that five arsons, and three accidental fires at black churches in just two weeks? What the gently caress is going on here? The accidental ones are probably like the shark attack frenzy a few years ago, in which a smaller number of shark attacks than usual happened that year, but everyone was looking for them so it seemed like an epidemic. Or the "knock-out game," with a few isolated actual cases and the media folding every episode of interracial assault in the country into "stats" showing this was a widespread thing. No doubt there's a very serious issue here (5 still seems like a lot), but it is important to keep perspective on the human tendency to see patterns in things.
