Yes, I know this is over a week ago, but I just learned about this today;
After two decades of living and working in Manhattan, this average New Yorker believed he had seen everything. Today proved that to be a false assumption.
Walking out of the Blaze headquarters on 6th Avenue in Midtown, I encountered this very strange vehicle driving up the street.
The flatbed trailer being pulled by the pickup truck appears to have eight bodies hanging in effigy. Of course my eye was drawn to the body in the center of the display and the sign with a Presidential Seal (of sorts) and the name President Obama.

The Blaze of course contacted the local Secret Service office, who informed author Mike Opelka that they were on it. I hope the Secret Service did indeed have a chat with the moron behind the wheel.
Questions. What was this guy's freeper name? Suppose RimJob has scrubbed him yet?

He may or may not have a legitimate grievance, and this was a ploy to get attention.

It looks like he may finally have gotten his wish.
The problem is, right or wrong, this guy sounds like such a whack-job, that unless he gets a good publicist, he will never make his case.
