Occupy Tulsa Releases Its Demands

Ironic. Looking at this thread and I have an old Cheech and Chong movie on the tube right now. They both seem to have the same script.
Gas...how come none of the pics match the names in the story?

Ed...Crunchy or Smooth?

That first one is Daniel Lee.  The others are the other members that were peppered and booked.  I couldn't' find Stephanie's in the mug shot archive.  

{edit}
Never mind.  found her in another archive.



The group has really racked up some outstanding imagery!
I like the big guy in the dress.

I hope this gets your juices flowing.....I miss Bill!

The Rumors About Bill Clinton Are True

http://www.forbes.com/sites/shahgilani/2011/12/06/the-rumors-about-bill-clinton-are-true/

"I think what they're doing is great," he said. "Occupy Wall Street has done more in the short time they've been out there than I've been able to do in more than the last eleven years trying to draw attention to some of the same problems we have to address," he said.

Without once looking around, but completely engaging me, the statesman continued. "There are a lot of young people out there, I see a lot of unemployed students and they are upset, he said. They don't know where the jobs and opportunities are for them, and they are worried about how they're going to pay off their student loans without going broke."

But I learned instantly that Bill Clinton doesn't just acknowledge problems he has solutions at the ready. He went on to say that student loan reforms were absolutely necessary and that limiting annual loan payments to small percentages of income made sense to not impoverish students as they struggle up the ladder in pursuit of the American Dream.

I asked if the Occupy Wall Street movement should have a platform. I was getting into another area he is passionate about, delivering messages on point. "Yes," he said, "But it doesn't have to be a platform; it doesn't have to be twenty pages. They should start with three or four points to generate a political movement to get heard more clearly."

There was more, but as he touched quickly on two other points as to how we got here, he said, "That's in the book." I wasn't being sold on the book; I just had my copy signed. I was being steered to the address of important issues in the book and Mr. Clinton's suggestions for getting back on track to fixing them.

I read the book. It really is excellent. It is stunningly frank and puts some very heated positions and agendas into a perspective that enlightens all those who read it.

So, if all the rumors about Bill Clinton, the good ones and the bad ones too, are true and he can rise above partisanship and cynics like me, to stand for compromise towards a stronger America, we should take his advice and all get Back to Work fixing America.

I'll accept Clinton's sincerity when he starts peeing on people and crapping on cop cars.  He's got the sexual assault thing down pat.

Nope, the chunky stuff is hard to clean out of the drain in the shower...and if I do eat it, there's the whole exquisite pain experience that comes from diverticula.  This gettin' old stuff is gettin' old.

Hmm, I may have been lied to about the year I was born then. That already happens to me.

Congratulations, you are getting there!

And from the comments on the article by a protester

I am one of the original arrests and one of the people at the first GA, I have held a job for almost 6 years, I am one month away, exactly, and I am 27 almost 28 again one month away, which means I have held the same job since I was 22.

I personally am sick and tired of explaining this, tell you what, since I'm already occupying a job why don't you occupy an original line, or are you not capable of creating your own thoughts? You poor bastard.

Don't worry Bobbie boy, I haven't forgotten you

(1) We are utilizing the planet's resources?

You really care about the planet? About the shape of the earth and it's welfare? Than why you no protest against BP Oil Spill? Why you only grumble about protesters on internet?

(2) We have already been sprayed in the face with chemicals in cause you had forgotten, I would you had been trolling the interwebz about this for awhile now, in-between drinking and watching porn, correct?

(3) This is not about jealousy, this is about fraud, bank bailouts, the busting of the unions in WS, this is about how workers in china are treated, this is about the prison industrial as well as military industrial complexes and how they are gaining money from the imprisonment and death of people

Now if you want to stand around massaging the wand in your hand, that's fine, but don't bother acting self righteous about it, thanks ever so much

I was hoping the sage wisdom would come first, but I guess not.

3 years, 10 months and 14 days after the appearance of the first symptoms.  There is a gestation period.  Kind of like the flu...

Got a great fix for that - need a Magic Bullet blender to implement.

1/4 cup Wild Turkey - you could stop here, but the rest is nice add on.
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
8 ice cubes

Put all ingredients into the Magic Bullet.  Blend until have a nice frozen frosty cure for the kick donkey aches and pains.  Yum!!
