Protection

Spanish police guard the Iranian embassy at the start of a pro-Israeli demonstration outside the embassy in Madrid, Wednesday June 27, 2007. The demonstrators were protesting against human rights abuses in Iran and the recent comments by Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calling for Israel to be wiped off the map and saying the Nazi Holocaust of World War II was a myth.

Because pro-Israel protesters are known for their extreme violence.

The Zionist protester on the left looks especially menacing, likely preparing to ram the embassy gate with his street sign.

The Pains of Spain

You have to feel sorry for the Spanish. They live very close to the French, believe that the best way to react to terror is appeasement, and they elected Mr Bean as their Prime Minister.

The Kind of Thing You Post When You Are Board

The World Monopoly Championships have yielded an unlikely winner:
A Spanish lab technician needed only two hours to amass a small real estate fortune and drive a Norwegian mutual fund manager’s railroad empire into bankruptcy to capture the World Monopoly Championship on Saturday.
 
Antonio Zafra Fernandez, 36, of Madrid pumped his fist in the air after he bested Norwegian Bjorn Andenaes of Oslo in the beloved board game to take home the $15,140 prize — equal to the amount of play money in a Monopoly set.
