News of the bizarre: The Volokh Conspiracy links to this Chicago Sun-Times article



"Parents of Rachel Corrie, the young woman who was killed by an Israeli soldier driving a Caterpillar bulldozer, spoke Sunday at a rally to build support for two protests against Caterpillar this month in Chicago and Peoria. . . Activists will protest the use of Caterpillar bulldozers to destroy Palestinian homes, at the company's annual stockholders meeting April 14 in Chicago. An "International Day of Action Against Caterpillar" demonstration will be staged April 23 at corporate headquarters in Peoria. Caterpillar spokesman Benjamin Cordani said, "We don't have the legal right nor the means of policing the use of our equipment" in the Middle East."



I know! Let's protest outside the home of the miner who worked in a mine that mined some mineral that was sold to a manufacturer that made a ball bearing that was bought by a gun manufacturer and put into a gun that was sold to a guy who sold it to a guy who sold it overseas where it was eventually bought by a terrorist. That'll teach him to engage in terrorist activities!



It makes about as much sense.
