Did you know that the British General Elections are held in Britain today? Furthermore did you know that Britain is not in the United States, and is in fact all the way on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean? While this may seem obvious to the majority of people... apparently some morons in New York were unaware of these facts:

Two small makeshift grenades exploded outside the British Consulate early Thursday, Election Day in England, causing slight damage to the building but injuring no one, officials said.

The blasts happened at 3:35 a.m.

Police spokesman Noel Waters said the grenades had been placed inside a cement flower box outside the front door of the midtown Manhattan building that houses the consulate.

Hopefully this isn't a portent of things to come. More at Michelle Malkin and The Command Post.
