Today in Peace and Justice history on July 10, 1976

Three hours later, after the cross was chopped down to a portable size, it was planted, but would not light.
Finally, the Klan members gave up and went home.

So what is that? Divine intervention? Bad juju? Karma? Damn the bad luck?

Whatever it is, it's a laugh-riot and serves the hate-baggers right!

I guess "Doofus" forgot the lighter fluid!!!
