The Glade 4.0

Oh Nos we've gotta like follow the rules n stuff!

I think comparing tea party protests vs OWS protests are an excellent example of the differences in philosophy.

I thought all of NYC already smelled like urine and feces?

He's right, but it'll never happen.

The tragedy of our current situation, is that at their fundamental core, the rebellious left and the rebellious right agree, but will never reach any accord... and it's devised that way on purpose...

I think you're confusing malicious design with incompetence.

It's not confusion at all, it the recognition that both are at work. Those ultra-competent individuals, whose efforts have manifested in enormous global wealth and power make use of an archaic system grown too large, with eroded checks and balances on power. They have worked to manipulate this huge ineffectual, inefficient, incompetent Leviathan as their beast, as they have constructed crude reins, untouchable by the masses, accessible only by them, used only towards their ends. The incompetence is their guise, and they hide deep.

ROFL. Thanks for making my morning.

*sigh*

Yep, these guys are JUST like the Tea Party.

I might take the OWS protesters more seriously if there was any evidence of adults among them...

Seriously?

The 'occupy your mom' sign seems legit to you?

Why not? I'd like to "Occupy Your Mom."

I think that's what he was getting at.

I think Boehner should take a page from Pelosis playbook and march the house Republicans past the occupy Washington protests.

I had totally forgotten about that, Stathol.

Man, talk about How to Lie with Statistics (Schoen) and more How to Lie with Statistics (the Capital).

Thanks, Mr. Near Ground.
