AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

Blogger is acting up again. Still. And We are not pleased.

Buckingham security may not be that tight

Somebody ended up in the Queen's bedroom a few years ago. And somebody took pictures of W in his undergarment when he was there for photo ops recently. Now this! (Now we see why George wanted Liz to reinforce the walls of the bedroom he was staying in. Thank goodness she had better sense.)

A man dressed as Batman and campaigning for fathers' rights breached security at Buckingham Palace and is standing on a balcony of Queen Elizabeth II's central London home waving to the gathered crowd, Fathers 4 Justice said.

Jason Hatch, 33, with the help of his accomplice Robin, was able to scale the wall of Buckingham Palace using a ladder, John Ison, a spokesman for Fathers 4 Justice said by phone from outside Buckingham Palace. Robin was stopped by police armed with guns and couldn't complete the stunt, Ison said.

Members of the Metropolitan Police are speaking to Hatch and trying to persuade him to leave the 15 inch-wide balcony on which he has been standing for more than an hour, Ison said. Sky News showed pictures of a banner hanging below the balcony displaying the words "Super Dads of Fathers 4 Justice."

On Saturday, another member of the group who dressed as Spiderman climbed atop the 137-metre-high London Eye ferris wheel beside the River Thames.

Ya gotta love the whole easy-going publicity-hunting atmosphere of these breaches. The guy would have been shot first and questioned later if he'd tried that stunt at the White House.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.

P.S. Someone paranoid might think that Blogger goes wonky on us "lefties" by design. It's the product of some young Republican types.
