Protesters outside a major conservative conference in Washington might be pocketing some part-time pay out of it. 

One demonstrator at the Conservative Political Action Conference told the Daily Caller that a local sheet metal workers union approached him about the gig, offering $60. 

"They just told me 'you wanna make 60 bucks?' So come on," the protester said, adding that other demonstrators outside were "out of work" and getting paid for their participation, too. 
The protester said he didn't know exactly who was paying or what CPAC was about. 
Occupy DC protesters were also participating in the "Occupy CPAC" events this week.

Provo, Utah (CBS Las Vegas) -- Sales soared for a painting depicting Obama trampling on the Constitution after a story CBS Las Vegas produced last weekend went viral.
John McNaughton’s “The Forgotten Man” sold in one day “what we would sell in three months.”
The amount of traffic the story generated even crashed his website.
“I hate to think of the sales I lost with the site being down, but I’m pleased that the message got out,” he told CBS Las Vegas
