"Pee Party". Love it Gasman. That's what I will call it from now on.

Better than the Ricin Four, who were inspired by a regular Fox News guest, I guess?

OWS Oakland just made a $20,000 deposit in Wells Fargo a week after smashing the windows. 

Was that the window smashing that was done by a group of men all dressed in black, wearing masks and moving in a military-like fashion?
Noooo, that wasnt at all suspicious...

So it looks like Occupy Portland is ratchetting up their violence to fire bombs......

All Muslims are also molotov cocktail throwers. At least they're more successful. Also, all those who oppose the liberal agenda are murderers.

Chicago Board of Trade rains down McDonald's applications on the Chicago Pee Party.

QuoteIn the middle of an Occupy Chicago teach-in this week, traders at the Chicago Board of Trade dumped several sheets of paper on top of the heads of protesters below. Demonstrators were angered to find out they were showered with employment applications for McDonald's.

So to be grammatically correct, I should have said member(s) of Occupy Portland. So sue me.

I would also be annoyed, given that I already have a job at a much better wage.

What I don't get, however, is how that makes a difference. If they are in fact protesting their marginalization, it's more than a little dumb to claim that we shouldn't listen to their complaints because they've been marginalized. And given the 9.6% unemployment in Chicago's MSA, I dare say that telling them to just get a job is also more than a little dumb.

Oh, turns out the ricin plot ringleader was a Tea Partyist. That must mean the Tea Party is a terrorist organization!  :o

This has nothing to do with you. It's about those crying at that Pee Party getting a taste of their own medicine from the 1%ers.

To be fair and balanced...if the Occupiers are going to be called Pee Partiers...shouldn't the Tea Partiers be referred to as Tea Baggers?

The tea partiers are already called tea baggers. Although actual "tea bagging" isn't happening whereas pee partying is.

You do have a point there.

A couple of weeks ago someone had a photo of one of the public trash cans at the NYC protest. It was full of plastic grocery bags filled with human waste.  at that point I was tempted to call the them "smile baggers", because that was appropriate, but at the tome I thought it a bit crass.  I'll try and find that pic again.
