I just saw some hippies totally freecycling!

Which is to say, they were eating out of a dumpster.

I thought there were an awful lot of homeless folks out today, until I realized that most of them were wearing sandals, under 30 and had white dude dreadlocks.

“Oh,” I said. “There must be some kind of hippie convention today.”.

Later, I happened to pass a sign that welcomed Netroots to Pittsburgh.

The next group of homeless looking rich kids I saw eating out of a dumpster were all wearing plastic ID badges around their necks.

I hope they all get hepatitis.
