Thanks to Sebastian Scheiner of the Associated Press for making this an extremely wonderful birthday.

A protester from Spain's Catalunya region dressed like a clown runs from tear gas fired by Israeli troops during a demonstration against Israel's separation barrier in the West Bank village of Bilin, near Ramallah, Friday, Aug. 17, 2007. Israel says the barrier is necessary for security, Palestinians call it a land grab. (AP Photo/Sebastian Scheiner)

Spanish Moonbat in Israel

Via Spanned Shot, here's a Spanish moonbat who traveled to Israel to protest that country's attempts to defend its citizens from terror attacks, heroically waving a Palestinian flag as he/she/it runs away from tear gas. At least some moonbats know...

*WHAT FREAKS. And no, I dont mean you hyping your birthday online in attempts to get sympathy and attention. Although, this is pretty pathetic.

How can people travel thousands of miles with their kids dressed like idiot clowns to protest the construction of a security barrier against terrorists? How can they put them into harm's way to get shot at with tear gas?

Doesn't Spain try to keep Moroccans out of their country? How about Spain's treatment of the northerners?

*Is that a boy-clown or a girl-clown?

Well, whatever it is, it seems happy about the fact that Brian is now officially old.
