WHAT GOES UP ...

Someone needs to market projectile-proof umbrellas:

Three people were killed by celebratory gunfire in Lebanon overnight after the re-election of pro-Syrian politician Nabih Berri as parliamentary speaker, police said.

Another seven people were injured when Berri supporters fired automatic weapons into the air in celebrations that ran through the night in Beirut's majority Shiite southern suburbs and the eastern Bekaa valley, they said.
