We Am Amused

Jonah Goldberg of the left here; too sodding lazy for more than a cursory search for it, but we were highly amused by the moving (by which we mean telebision, not tugging at the heart strings) image of an anti-gummint protester in Kyiv heaving a Molotov cocktail w/ a far-from-tight wick; as he cocked his arm NFL-style to heave some justice some of the burning gas got on him, giving him a flaming collar.
