So, Flint is Burning
This is for all of you out-of-towners that may not have heard, Flint is in chaos at the moment. Since the mayor closed fire stations and laid off firefighters, there have been over 50 fires in the city in the past week.
Mlive is trying to cover it. In their own inept way.
Someone is trying to keep up with them all on Google Maps.
Some fire departments are giving up.
You can keep up with the excitement by listening to live streams from fire and police dispatch.
It’s not national news. No one would be surprised anyway. Flint’s best commodity for export is being the butt of every joke about what is wrong with this country.
People look to flint – to feel better about their stupid towns.

Flashmob Pillow Fight In Flint!
There’s going to be a flashmob pillow fight in Flint! Just like the one I posted about last week in Tornoto. Kind of a mashup between a flashmob and a, well… a pillow fight. This will make the Journal and the news stations scratch their heads…
Here’s the invite, I’ll be there… as well as most of the kids, maybe all of them.
Thanks to Fat Kid on Crack for setting this up and getting it organized!
