Interviewing random New Yorkers

That was a funny article, but one of the comments was even better. Claire Belinski made comment that "no, America is not on the verge of a revolution, and no, the OWS protesters are definitely not the 99 percent."

The comment to that statement was one of the funniest things I've read and very, very true. Reminded me of the small Post Office back in CT.

"I could have told you that.

The only occupation going on here in the corner of Central Illinois I'm living in would be down in front of the Feed and Grain store. Those guys have been occupying that bench pretty much non-stop since the Civil War. Not the same guys, of course. Every decade or so one or two new ones wander by to replace the one or two that have gone on up to that Feed and Grain store in the sky.

Stand there long enough, and the international, national, and local news will be reported in full, with commentary that would have Krauthammer taking notes. In addition, you'll learn the answers to all of Life's Questions, and hear the most amazing stories ever told, some of which might actually be true, more or less."

".....hear the most amazing stories ever told, some of which might actually be true, more or less."

Eh yup - sho' nuff. Reminds me of the time when I was.....

From the random New Yorkers opinion of #OWS. And a classic. Talk about message fail.

NYC is winding down from the OWS pre-Christmas show, another over budget, badly produced off-Broadway show with a cast of unknowns by producers who didn't have a clue.
In Boston the show goes on, bad reviews by the critics and the public notwithstanding. Suffolk Superior Court Judge Frances McIntyre is the judge that has issued the judicial stay that prevents the City from removing the OWS camp from the Greenway. She is, incidentally a Mitt Romney appointee (2004).
Recently the police prevented OWS from bringing a commercial kitchen sink into the tent city on the park. (???!!!)
Amazing.

What a way to start a day! Saw that 2 hours ago and I'm still chucklin'. Big case for small, smaller, smallest government.
