[Update: 1141, 20 November -- We now have surveillance video.]

I chose to pass over the story of Heather Ellis and her interaction with Walmart because the story just didn’t smell right. I’m not saying she’s wrong. I’m no saying she’s right. I’m just saying. My friend and blogger Jimi Izrael has weighed in and offered his take.

People that know me will tell you I love a good media-manufactured brouhaha as much as the next media meatball, but the tempest behind the Heather Ellis case, with calls for you to take a day off your good job and go march or whatever, has come to a boil today. The Internet is outraged at the audacity of this latest racial injustice.

Uh-huh.

So that means it’s time for me to jump in the fray.
