WHY was everyone on the porch?

My wife told me why - You can't smoke INDOORS anymore!

Blame the anti-smoking NAZIS!

[Cold Heat]

Yes, it is called disaster profiling.:-)

[rellimpank]

indeed and the Chicago Tribune wisely informs us that "overcrowding may have contributed to the collapse"---

"Porch Collapses, Where is Jesse Jackson?"

Under it with the dogs?

Don't worry! John Edwards is coming to make sure that he, ah, errr, you are paid for your injuries!

Even more interesting is the media handling of the two events. I was not paying attention to the disaster in Jesse's buddy's firetrap. But, as I recall, it did get a lot of covereage. The porch collapse also seems to be getting a lot of coverage and I don't think I see a difference.

However, my bet would have been that once the left-wing media realized that blacks and, especially, Jesse and his henchpersons (pls note gender sensitivity) were involved, coverage would have ceased. But, I don't know if that happened. With the porch disaster, we don't yet know if anyone "news-worthy" was involved, so we can't yet guage the media attention.

Porch Collapses, Where is Jesse Jackson?

Under the porch? We could be so lucky.

Sure are a lot of vanity posts lately.

Hmm... If this had happened on the South Side of Chicago, Jesse would already be calling for reparations.
