Over 40 protesters hit the streets bright and early today, sending a message to the chest-thumping cavemen congressmen that invaded Ohio State promoting an energy plan that ignores climate change. The Stone Age 5, led by John Boehner agree with George Bush and Sarah Palin that drilling in the Arctic and burning more dirty coal is an energy plan. They hit campus to promote this sham of a plan and we hit back. Watch the slideshow: The other Ohio cavemen who oppose clean energy and jobs? Reps.

As the world watches the violence and post-election protests escalate in Iran, startling images from the streets of Tehran are disseminating through various social media. Many of them are tagged #iranelection, a hashtag which started on Twitter but is spreading to Flickr and elsewhere.Since it is difficult to find photos in the sea of Tweets using the same #iranelection tag I've been using Twicsy, an image search engine for photos posted to Twitter which we wrote about yesterday. If you search "iranelection" or "tehran iran", dozens of images from the protests will pop up. (Photos after the jump).
