So, when I read about this I thought “it has to be from the Onion”.   A 65 year old man had his finger severed (bitten off to be precise) by a supporter of Health Care Reform.  The “incident” occurred at a rally in Thousand Oaks, CA organized by MoveOn.Org.  But no, much as I would wish it so, this was NOT a joke.  It actually happened!

I suppose there’s really no great moral to this story, except that emotions are high and Vegans can sometimes change their dietary preference.  But a word to the wise, keep your hands to yourself and avoid confrontations with anyone so passionate about helping others that they will harm you to do it…
