War protester chains himself to the wrong building
OK, I won't get into what I feel about the protesters who are clogging city streets around the country, making it dang near impossible for life to function if you have to drive through one of those places. But I just found this story from Obscure Store very funny:
Jody Mason padlocked himself to an entrance of the Washington State Grange building, thinking it was a sub-office of the U.S. Department of Energy. The Grange is a nonprofit, nonpartisan group that advocates for residents in rural areas. "I don't think that's ever happened before," says the Grange communications director.
Update: He was arrested once he did get to the right building.
