Big day in the “occupy” movement, as the folks down there in NYC will see if they can muster up enough of a protest to “shut down” Wall Street (whatever that actually means). Mayor Bloomers has no doubt put a call into the NYPD to sharpen their plungers and give all non-compliant protesters the “full Sandusky.” You might say OWS is like the Titanic, about to slam full-speed into a Bloom Berg. Should be exciting, and I’m sure the majority of the 1% will be hanging around their big screen teevees watching Erin Burnett tsk-tsk the demonstrators, and giggle at every pepper spray-faced protester.
We, of course, don’t have the massive numbers up here (being just a barn in the woods and all), but, as far as I know, there’s no plan to send in the Carabinieri to evict them. But we’re just a bunch of hicks up here, and not suave like they are in Manhattan or hipster-types they way they are in Portland. Probably ‘cuz the Mayor’s a woman, and not a toughie capable of standing to those street thugs the way Bloomers is.
Happy 73 to Gordon Lightfoot. Martin Scorsese hits 69 today. And Vernon’s Gravatar turns 67 (which, for some reason, makes me feel old).
I went back and read those comments. I guess if you’re an angry right winger, making comments on the internet is one way to blow off some steam. It does not endear them to me.
I read some of them and then on the way to the store, I was listening to an NPR :omg: story on the resurgent Newt. I didn’t make the connection about the hateful spew and bile that these creeps are putting and I don’t know why or if the “American people” they love to invoke are really attracted to such vicious negativity. I’m not saying that you don’t see that from the other side but the right seems to think that a lot of this stuff is humour equivalent to that of folks like Colbert and Stewart.
As much as I want the hometown jocks to show some game tonight, I’d be equally happy if Timmie stinks the place up so I wouldn’t have to watch the local MLF weather babe, Kathy Saban, pratically wet her pantsuit on air at the cut of his jib :jerk: :barf:
If jeezus annointed Denver with a football player recently it was giving us :bow: Willis McGahee :banana: and a running game. Plug in (any name here) for QB.
I’m always for the aged getting (and staying) ahead.
Thanks for that Vernon.
She was on again tonight-will watch later.
Mr. FK is back in Afghanistan and uh oh, pj, your orange is in a bit of trouble. 😥
Gee, peej, it took me days to lose that avatar and I didn’t even get Nigel up on time. I hope JB had a nice b’day anyway. I am just relieved that Nigel isn’t 67.
