The furious lefty with the $4 cup of Starbucks on the cover of Drudge earlier this morning is pretty funny.

This demands a caption contest. My entry:

I barely had enough to buy this coffee with my cut from the Occupy gay porn movie! And you're probably making millions!

"I ordered a no foam latte, motherfucker!"

What's it like everywhere else?
No one ever talks about it, acknowledges it, nothing. In real life or on FB, etc. This includes blue collar, white collar, rich, poor, everybody. And this is in a huge city.
I've seen or heard less than a handful bring it up on Facebook or real life.

The funny thing is if I tell them that they protesting corporate America fooking up the nation they are all for it but I don't know if the OWS crowd really stands for this so I may be spreading false information.

I know a lot of hard core lefties who are still posting on facebook. In RL I hear very little anymore. And not much support.
The problem is they have no coherent message. Too many hard core anti capitalist messages are coming out it to gain support.

Even the news out here seems to have lost a lot of interest.

Oakland tried to re-occupy in some other part of town, got evicted the next day and I haven't heard as much about it. I haven't watched as much, but it does seem to be losing any sort of attention from those outside the tents.

That's just a very punchable face

LOL....well played!

I heartily concur.

The man is always trying to rip the Christmas Blend with room for Cream out of the hands of the disenfranchised.

It's true.

You're right. I should have said the nightly news out here. They get a mention but I haven't seen as much interest.

Of course, it could be my perspective and tuning it out a little.

So according to OWS, this is all Clinton's fault? NFW would American media report that.

No 2: reform the banking system to prevent fraud and manipulation, with the most frequent item being to restore the Glass-Steagall Act – the Depression-era law, done away with by President Clinton, that separates investment banks from commercial banks. This law would correct the conditions for the recent crisis, as investment banks could not take risks for profit that create kale derivatives out of thin air, and wipe out the commercial and savings banks.

The Glass-Steagall repeal was just one of many financially-favorable regulatory changes in a string that began back in the 70s, and taking the argument back to NO REPUBLICAN NO DEMOCRAT nonsense isn't much but a distraction. "Fault" is not the object of any of this, unless directed at the Big Money Oligarchs and their crowd of attack dogs.

I've watched too many video clips of protesters who were doing plenty of finger pointing. But this thing is in its 11th hour so I digress.

Yes that's why that sentence had a concluding clause

The irony is that people are protesting against capitalism.

Capitalism if fine, but we don't have that. We have cartelism. The Bush family and Rothchilds et al know this.

The great mistake of my life was to attack "capitalism" because I thought that was the status quo. It's not. Capitalism is good, but we don't have that. The Jews and those families who support them are in charge.

LOL at idiots like me who thought it was ever something different.

The problem is that some people who are protesting don't know much of anything.

That's your reasoned analysis? The Jews are in charge?

Fuck wit.

You mean you didn't realize "banksters" meant Jews all along.

That may not be as stupid as it sounds. There is a distinction between "private property" in the sense of "means of production" and then personal possessions. Marxism would call a factory or an apartment building "private property" but not your underwear or your TV or your car.

Then again, he might just be an idiot.

Like a lot of other Marxist tropes, it's on thin ice and starts to crack once you put some weight on it. What about those greedy souls who have acquired more and better personal property, a nicer car, bigger living quarters, arable farmland, better food, or in this case an iPad etc. than the more downtrodden in society?

A distinction without a difference. So yeah, that dude being hoist by his own petard on the Daily Show is an idiot.

Moments before police entered the park, protesters were setting off fireworks. After they entered, a man who refused to leave told an officer: "If you give me a hug, I will leave right now."

"Are you serious?" the officer asked with a smile. He appeared for a moment ready to comply, but then moved away.

Toward the end of the operation, a large group of protesters that had locked arms in the middle of the south lawn chanted to police making arrests: “You’re sexy. You’re cute. Take off your riot suit.”
