Precis for those who don't wish to register:

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) -- Hundreds of Taiwanese protesters scuffled with riot police, threw eggs and broke windows Friday as they stormed into the Central Election Commission's headquarters, where officials certified the results of last weekend's disputed presidential vote.

Police tried to push back the protesters, but refrained from using their clubs to stop them. Some demonstrators went up elevators to the commission offices, but most stayed in the lobby, hurling eggs at the wall and knocking down flowerpots. They stayed at the scene late into the evening.

That sort of thing's no yolk.

I hope we're angrier than that.

Of course the dominant regime is blessed with an opposition that things violence is baaad.

This would never happen in America. We don't care enough to bother rioting over a silly little thing like a stolen election.
