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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
