A man taken into custody Tuesday in connection with a firebombing at the campaign office of U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan has been released. Police said Wednesday that the suspect, 50, whose name was not made public, was let go after the prosecutor's office took the case "under advisement" for possible charges later. Police can only hold a suspect for up to 24 hours without formal charges. The fire at Carnahan's campaign headquarters on Chippewa Street began about 2:20 a.m. Tuesday. A flaming projectile was apparently thrown through a back window, causing minor damage — mostly charred paperwork — in a room the campaign uses for its finance operation.

1. I didn't hear a word about this.

Jeez, when Cantor's unmarked, vacant, sometimes satellite office got hit by a bullet from the sky, we heard about it for weeks.

4. You're right about the divide between stories about Rs & Ds

The corporate media don't even try to hide their bias any longer. They don't even make an attempt to keep the charade going.

3. So what's his freepername?

I'd bet my next paycheck that this nimrod went straight home from the police station to watch Clown Blecch on FAUX.
