ONE HIPPIE, WELL-DONE, PLEASE

You have to give Middle Eastern protesters, regardless of stripe, credit for one thing:

When they wish to express their displeasure in uncertain terms, they certainly manage to do so in a way that grabs your attention.

Moishe Silman, age 57, was protesting the lack of government housing assistance in Israel, when he decided it would be a really good idea to douse himself in a flammable liquid and do his best impression of a Baked Alaska (Author's Note: Check to see if Baked Alaska is kosher).

Fortunately for him (because it appears as if Mr. Silman had belated second thoughts about becoming a Roman...err...Israeli Candle) but perhaps not so much for the same Israeli government that will have to treat his injuries -- it figures: the asshole wants the Israeli Taxpayer to not only pay for his apartment, but now his third-degree burns. The nerve of some people! -- the nearby crowd quickly extinguished the flames before calling for medical help.

OCCUPY CHICAGO PROTESTERS GET MCDONALD'S APPLICATIONS DUMPED ON THEIR HEADS

#insaneasylumblog - I've been trying my best to understand the whole "occupy" movement, but I can't seem to grasp the concept. I mean, I don't really know all the demands of the people who are protesting. I hear various gripes, but I think if anyone has a problem with how the country is being run, they should protest outside of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Anyway, the tension between the occupiers in Chicago and the traders at the Chicago Board of Trade is growing. The protesters, who are stationed across the street from the CBOT, got an eyeful when they saw a sign in the windows of CBOT that read, "we are the 1%". This time around, CBOT traders dumped paper on the heads of protesters from above.

Occupiers were mad to find out that the pieces of paper were actually employment applications for McDonald’s.


hilarious...

I thought that's what they wanted? I don't see how they could be upset when they were provided with a solution to their problem.  Maybe they do just want handouts instead of jobs.
