Occupy

But seriously, I don't get it either.  I mean, sure the bankers are greedy, amoral and criminal fucks.  We all know that.

The only way they're ever going to be held to account is by putting pressure on politicians, though.  I expect bankers to be what they are, much in the way I expect a newborn puppy to shit on the carpet.  However, the politicians are meant to clean up the mess, not give the puppy laxatives and leave a bag's worth of doggy treats open and in plain sight.

Yep. It's supposed to be our representatives in government making sure we don't get screwed by handing the keys to the castle to thieves. Protesting Wall Street is like small businessowners in 1930's Chicago protesting the Mafia, only with fewer shop fires and disappearances. 

Hey criminals! We don't like you!

They don't give a fuck.

I'm sure as soon as they do feel threatened, on the other hand, we'll see violence on a level that will make Kabul look like a plausible place to buy property.

30% of veterans are unemployed, incidentally.  Not quite Weimar Germany levels yet, but not far off.  Income inequality is worse in the USA than it is in Egypt, Bangladesh, Yemen and Algeria.  Something will have to give.

Yeah, I kind of wonder how that's going to play out, because I don't see this thing just dissipating, which is what I think the politicians were hoping.

I wouldn't be surprised if they try to wait them out through the winter.

Over 10,000 people at Occupy protests in Berlin and Frankfurt.

Jay-Z was photographed wearing the "Occupy All Streets" shirts earlier this week and began selling them on his website. Checking the site today ... the shirts are now gone.

Before the t-shirts were pulled ... TMZ spoke with Grim, one of the leaders of the Occupy movement, who told us, "Jay-Z, as talented as he is, has the political sensibility of a hood rat and is a scrotum. To attempt to profit off of the first important social moment of 50 years with an overpriced piece of cotton is an insult to the fight for economic civil rights known as #occupywallstreet."

Jay-Z in "canny attempt to make money" shocker.

I mean, sure, it's not like he needs any more, but it doesn't count as a dick move when you expect it.  Also "first important social moment of 50 years"....LOL.

I like how he pulled the shirts immediately. Shrewd.

[Cain]

I now want to buy one...just to piss humourless lefties like "Grim" off.  And how apt a name is that?

OCCUPY IS SRS BIZNESS.  NOT SO SRS WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO COMMENT ON JAY-Z THO.

It actually makes a lot more sense than Occupying Seattle, because that's where the Washington legislature convenes. However, I think they convene in February, so that would be the time to do it.

Seems like Occupy Portland won a temporary victory, for now...

I'll post pictures after I get some rest.
