This photo is going around on Twitter, showing the pro-Confederate flag rally that took place in front of the South Carolina Capitol today. Attendance was a bit… sparse.
You know things are changing fast when only about two dozen people show up to support the Confederate flag in South Carolina.

How do you determine turnout at a White Supremacy rally?
Count the teeth and divide by six.

OT, but Charles, you know what would really be a great feature for us commenters? A comment at the bottom of the last post letting us know that a new post is going up in five minutes. Like with a little Drudge siren.
“attention all commenters, please move to the above thread. The white zone is for updinging and downdinging only.”

So here was my comment that I posted just as this post went up:
re: #97 Blind Frog Belly White
Kudos to Bree Newsome!
That is Civil Disobedience in the grandest tradition - openly defy unjust law, hurt nobody, force the authorities to arrest you in public, and unapologetically risk the consequences.
Hear, hear!!
It’s interesting. I wonder if Shawn King is going to pay her court expenses after the tweet he made yesterday?

IIRC, there’s a huge building across the street from the capitol (a bank? It’s been a while).
It wouldn’t take much for an enterprising photog to go up there and get a really close headcount.
I’d say use a drone, but that would probably not fly (pun intended) right over the capitol.

If a lizard is ever in downtown Hartford the Wadsworth Atheneum is probably worth the stop. An art museum of the right size - large enough to have a mix of interesting types, but not too large that you feel rushed to go through it or get tired and opt to skip a few wings. (Which is one reason admission to the one in Philadelphia is good for two days.)
Didn’t take many pictures, but here’s something I thought was interesting and brought a Lizard to mind.

Yeah. But gay people, ISIS, both scary.//
My cousin - no, not THAT one - commented on Jon McNaughton’s FB post showing a soldier having to eat a piece of gay wedding cake. It’s a corner of his ‘Obamanation’ picture. Behind the soldier with the piece of cake from the oddly un-cut gay wedding cake is Ahmadinejad, behind a wall that says “Fort Hood”.
The tendency of wingnuts to roll all their fears/enemies into one big ball is nothing short of amazing.

It’s like the scene from ‘Arrested Development’:
Wayne Jarvis: Michael, when we started talking to you, we didn’t have anything. But now… we got something. And you’re going to do time for it.
Barry: Those are the pictures?
Wayne Jarvis: They’re all over the news.
Barry: Those are balls.

It is a scream. it’s beyond good. It’s great. It shows just how knee jerk and without an ounce of thought they throw shit up on the screen. Brilliant flag. The usual sloppy fear driven idiocy reporting. They need to interview the creator. Stat.
