Is The Occupy Wall Street Movement an Answer to The Tea Party Movement?

[Gaspar]

What ever happen to the Tea Parties? Have the baggers figured out they were pawns in the GOP game? Or has the GOP stopped funding the extreme righties knowing that the political investment in 2010 came around and bit them in the a$$?

They only get a couple of weeks vacation a year, with the jobs and all.  Probably just saving up for just before the elections.

I suppose it's also a bit discouraging having to get those permits and stuff.

Ocean Reef Club is a gorgeous place.  At the end of the month we can look up who the donors were.  Ya gotta love hypocrisy!

A group of 15-year old boys discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they should meet at the Dairy Queen next to the Ocean Reef restaurant because they only had $6.00 between them and Jennie Johnson, that cute girl in Social Studies, lives on that street and they might see her and they can ride their bikes there.

Ten years later, the group of 25-year-old guys discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they should meet at the Ocean Reef Club because the beer was cheap, they had free snacks, the band was good, there was no cover and there were lots of cute girls.

Ten years later, at 35 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they should meet at the Ocean Reef Club because the booze was good, it was right near the gym and if they went late enough, there wouldn't be too many whiny little kids.

Ten years later, at 45 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they should meet at the Ocean Reef Club because the martinis were big, and the waitresses had nice boobs and wore tight pants.

Ten years later, at 55 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they should meet at the Ocean Reef Club because the prices were reasonable, the wine list was good and fish is good for your cholesterol.

Ten years later, at 65 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they should meet at the Ocean Reef Club because the lighting was good and they have an early bird special.

Ten years later, at 75 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they should meet at the Ocean Reef Club because the food was not too spicy, and the restaurant was handicapped accessible.

Ten years later, at 85 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. It was agreed they should meet at the Ocean Reef Club because they had never been there before.

A Guidotesque counter post....

Freedom of Speech Nate style...

Police say an Occupy Wall Street protester dumped a tub of human waste down a public stairwell and inside a bank vestibule, and got caught on video.

Police said Occupy Wall Street protesters were captured on surveillance video dragging a large receptacle of human urine and feces to an open-air plaza at the corner of Nassau and Cedar streets last Wednesday evening, just before 8 p.m.

They then poured the waste down a set of stairs there, police said.

Some interesting new Occupy developments today.

http://www.wmtw.com/news/maine/portland/Man-sentenced-for-Occupy-Maine-assault/-/8865266/9669520/-/x05bar/-/

PORTLAND, Maine - A man who participated in the Occupy Maine protest in Portland has been sentenced to a year in prison for hitting another protester in the head with a hatchet.

Christopher Schisler was sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison, with all but one year suspended, after pleading guilty Wednesday to aggravated assault. A criminal mischief charge was dismissed.

Authorities say the dispute in Lincoln Park started when Alan Porter began banging a drum around 7 a.m. on Nov. 18 to wake up fellow campers. The 35-year-old Schisler broke the drum with a hatchet, Porter threw the drum at Schisler, who hit Porter with the blunt side of the hatchet.

Homeless folk calling themselves "occupiers" and the conservative press going with it again?  Right wing news agencies at it again.

I wouldn't exactly call "New Times" a coservative or right wing news source.
