"They say they want to change the world, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad."
Kind of surprised nobody has
sodomizeddefaced the businessman statue yet.I'm surprised no one has blown up the Wall Street Bull yet.
Very first picture: "Find one in every demonstration. You'll see."
The Repo-heads out there understand.
Suppose I were to start talking about a plate…
A plate o'shrimp?
Damned if democracy don't smell like a mixture of patchouli and instant ramen noodles.
I think it smells more like sweaty Birkenstocks and old bong water.
You just made me throw up in my mouth, a little.
I just can't take a demonstration seriously if less than half the participants are open carrying assult rifles and wearing camoflage.
Awesome KenLayIsAlive! Just hit the ground when the Pinkerton agents show up!
See Dick spray Jane with pepper spray…..
My friends are going to Occupy Albuquerque tomorrow:
http://www.occupytogether.org/events/southwest/oc...
I can't go, but they promise me some pictures. Do you suppose it's safe to bring small children? Will there be tear gas?
I believe the children will be safe.
Tomorrow starts the most photographed event in the world, The Balloon Fiesta here in ABQ. I like to go to my balcony and watch the balloons float by. I've learned the hard way that if I can see what they are wearing, they can see what I am wearing. I had to find the sash for my "good bathrobe" to avoid problems.
I did a stint directing traffic at the Balloon Fiesta my first year in ABQ. Never again. We have a smaller one here in Socorro,usually close to Thanksgiving.
I hope your bathrobe sash says "MAYOR" on it, or I'll be very disappointed.
Where are the tricorn hats and Hovarounds?
With the media.
Heard on Keith Olbermann that some Tea Baggers were starting to show up at the protests. First thing I thought was "Fuck, there goes any legitimacy the Occupy Wall Street people have."
Good! Now the press might show up, twelve days late.
Where are the pictures of the drum circle and the communal sweat lodge?
(In case you can't tell, I don't like hippies.)
Smurf – these aren't hippies – they're disenfranchised people who have woken up to the fact that they're getting anally raped by the corporations and rich fuks who have all of the marbles. This, coincientially, is something the "hippies" (and I am one) tried to warn everyone about forty years ago. Glad to see that you're paying attention now!
Too much Buddha.
Not enough Buda.
Needz moar champagne and pompous assholes on balconies.
I can't wait until the Union thugs get there next week. And by Union thugs, I don't mean NYPD.
Maybe they will climb up to the balcony and crack some champagne swilling heads.
You know, unless you get protest signs with Obama and a bone through his nose, you will never get notice.
Signs need moar misspellings.
What in hell is the 1st Admendment? These are supposedly college-edumacated kids. Just sayin'.
That's part of the revised modern Constitution; the First Admemdment is "McDonald's: I'm lovin' it!" (the revisions include product placement, to better reflect life in America today).
Other possible amendments:
-merchandise can be returned for store credit without a receipt
-restrooms are for customers only
-no loitering
Ken Lay IS Alive.
So is Radiohead playing yet?
Too soon.
Wounds are still raw…
Look, its only going to be "important" and "newsworthy" if it conforms to the Fox News Narrative of "Merka 'gainst the black guy" and offers potential profits to the rich.
Dick Armey has his people working on a way to profit from this.
I guess they are mostly unemployeds out there. I mean, is posterboard that expensive? I thought cardboard-box posters were for the homeless guy down at the intersection. "God Bless."
"HOMLESS"
Actually saw that one, yesterday.
Full Disclosure:
In the Spring of 1970, I was an activist in the anti-war movement and on the front lines at San Jose State. I made a sign, including the Peace Symbol:

We did a march around the Administration building. Later, a friend came up and told me that I had "done it wrong." I was mortified to find that I had drawn the Mercedes Benz logo on my sign:

Anyway, just letting you know that when you are a protester, you can make a well-meant mistake.
So "1st Admendment" ain't that bad…
Uh, Gramps, do you really think you needed to link to a webpage explaining what a peace sign is? I mean, even the youngs here probably know about that.
Well hell Baldar, I had got it wrong!
Hahaha – that's about as funny as when a kid flipped me off using his index finger!
I hear tell of a topless woman who has shown up to every day of the protest. Would it kill you citizen journalist to give a tip of the hat to your readers quite natural interests in breasts?
Hear hear! Harumph.
For video of topless protesters, try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifBNNW1whgg
I think it also includes a drum circle.
Now we're getting somewhere.
Oh how I wish I was there and it was then. Good luck to you all. God bless.
Nice! Thanks Wonkette Jr!
You should give yourself some special lovin' next time you run into yourself in a men's room….
Hahaha. It's already been "taken care of".
Why are our most inspired and gutsy leaders so un-telegenic? I'm talking to you Dennis K., Ralph N. and Michael M. We are such a shallow and stupid people, we can't get past that.
This is so flattering and unexpected, like when they name Carrie prom queen.
So, what you're saying is that we're all about to die, right?
