The Bay Area’s KTVU News just plugged street artist Eddie Colla’s posters: Sarah Palin’s snarling mug and the words “Enrage them with fear until they feel justified in their violence.” That’s a pithy and chilling way to translate all her babbling into a motive. Read more »
Some new details have emerged about NYC’s now infamous, face-crawling subway rat. ABC News interviewed Jeffrey Forde, the cameraman who shot the video and he said at first, he took a still picture of the rodent as it crawled onto the sleeping guy’s lap.
