The Occupy Chicago protester-folk got this cryptic message from the mysterious cabal of mutant space hamsters inhabiting the Chicago Board of Trade. But, uh, maybe take heart Ocupados (?), the 1% does not even appear to have enough money to buy printer ink to run off a couple of window signs, so they will join you soon enough.

Douchie douchebags being douches.
Maybe it's from cubicle slaves posting an ironic sympathy message?
In any case, All You Fascists Bound To Lose!

I'll see your "Fascists" and raise you a There is Power in a Union (with bonus Joe Strummer tribute).
Good one!
How about Joe Hill, by Luke Kelly?
(Billy Bragg's version is awesome, also.)

Or a little Rebel Girl by Joe Hill!
What a nice view of the Texas School Book Suppository.
Oh, fuck them.
Actually, I believe that message refers to those Cubs fans who believe that the team will will a pennant in their lifetimes.
Come on. No one is that naive.
Liars. I don't see anything trickling down.
Bullshit, there's a trickle down going on! The gold is slowly-but-surely trickling down, like a gentle shower. A golden shower, if you will!
Funny things happen when you don't listen to the lower classes. Remember what they did to the lady who said, "let them eat cake?"
Let them eat lightly-salted rat dicks.
Don't spare them the sodium intake; salt it up. Mwahahaha!
Can we get the Chinese to export us steel for a Guillotine?
Ugh.
Obviously they are not the 1% or they wouldn't be working in a concrete-construction building in downtown Chicago for a paycheck. Just sayin'.
That's where they trade the notorious pork belly futures. And it's stone Art Deco.
Statue of Ceres, the Goddess of Grain, at the top, for all you classically trained frozen pork-belly future traders.

Any body got a match?
Yeah, that'll endear the plebeians to your plight.
The Washington Post is reporting that bands of roving armadillos could be headed to the D.C. area. Where's Sara Benincasa when we need her?
Roaming, armored sex toys? Sounds right up Sarah B's alley, or something.
Mssr. Robespierre to the white courtesy phone.

I'll bet the signs are placed on somebody else's windows.
Of course; that's the same principle that underlies all commodities and securities trading — make someone else take the risk.
FTW!
1% of the body is asshole.
Breaking Noose: Palin just QUIT, again.
You betcha she knows Mittens has it all sewn up but she wouldn't not pass through a door that God opened for her, to get that Constitutional Christian message out to all her supporters for a third-party thingy also.
Dag, I so wanted to liveblog her in a debate, for the lulz.
That'll win hearts and minds…between this and the champagne – swilling group of Wall Street lackeys in NYC, this might be the best publicity yet for the movement.
Needs more crosshairs.
Surveyor's marks! Surveyor's marks! Sheesh.
I used to teach at Columbia College Chicago, which is an arts and communications school located near the Board of Trade. I guarantee that the Occupy Chicago protests are going to serve as fodder for more than one student's final project in film, photography, and video classes.
So they got that going for them.
i went down yesterday – had a run in with a business asshole.
i won. it was fun.
I used to attend Columbia College Chicago. Did you teach sound engineering?
Nope. I'm just a boring old English teacher. I also used to work in the Writing Center..
Some spoiled 1% milk in the A/C vent would be fitting.
Nah, go full blown with half & half.
I'd do one of those fish milkshakes they were making in Dolphin Tale.
This reminds me of a prank a former co-worker told me about: in the previous office he worked in (gov't office, BTW), pranks were de rigeur. And then someone had the brilliant idea to smear some tuna fish inside the desk drawer of someone who was on vacation. The smell never cleared. Eventually, he had to get a new desk.
Bruce Cockburn seems very appropriate right now.
If I had a rocket launcher…I'd make somebody pay
If I had a rocket launcher…I would retaliate
If I had a rocket launcher…I would not hesitate
If I had a rocket launcher…Some son of a bitch would die
Y'know, with the recent Libyan clusterfuck, Russian RPGs can be had pretty cheap now.
The 1% would think that they are going to be protected when the 99% turn on them. LOL.
NBC Nightly news led with the protest. Maybe something is happening here.
What it is ain't exactly clear (to CNN).
There's a man with a gun over there…
HMMM sounds familiar as if I had heard this before. When people were upset with government and the military industrial complex.
And as a result of all that flapdoodle, it did get better for a while. Luckily Saint Ronnie of Santa Barbara saved us all.
Depending upon your point of view the Happy/Unhappy (unhappy at least for snarking) news is Lou Sarah is not running.
I think their math is a little off. I believe the statistic is that sociopaths comprise 5% of the population.
Lawyers and politicians comprise the other 4%?
Someone needs to go down there with a Jump, you fuckers! sign.
My eyes aren't so good. Does that say "aim here?"
I have been down at Occupy Chicago, today was my 5th day, and yes it does in fact say "aim here you smelly hippies" http://www.occupychi.org
Why do these hippie protesters keep trying to engage in class warfare?
1%? No, I think this Country is at least 30% douchebag, sadly.
lowballed.
Prolly.
Seriously…fuck those guys.
Beware when the 99% have the Predator Drones!!!
It's all right, after the Sirius Cybernetics Company, they will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
remember when the joker overturned that one 18 wheeler in front of the board of trade?
good times.
For free shows, you can't beat Summer of 2010, with the Blackhawks rally and Transformers 3 blowing up right outside my office window.
Good a place as any to aim the Stinger missile.
What is the NRA's position on private ownership of Predator drones? Just curious.
Begun, the Class Wars have.
We are the 1%. Resistance is futile.
No, but seriously, fuckers, all your bases are soon belong to us, so keep laughing. CBOT, you may physically be located in The Loop, but you've perpetually been outside the loop on just about everything else.
My first job out of high school was a "runner" at the CBoT. My job consisted of waiting at the row of Telex machines on the trading floor for an order to come it, then "run" it to one of the asshole brokers down in the pit. The brokers, being assholes, would pretend that they didn't know I was there, waving an order in their face, then the desk managers would chastise me for taking too long.
I got paid $3.35/hr. Assholes.
Every schoolboy in Chicago knows Trader = Asshole.
They're laughing now. As this thing picks up momentum we'll see who's laughing at the end.
