The office space city officials have offered Occupy L.A. protesters to woo them off the City Hall lawn is only a few hundred feet away from the encampment...

How is this fair to the thousands of companies, agencies, charities, NGOs and others who have to pay rent?

[molson209]

the mayor is one of them ,when it rained he bought them ponchos

Does that office space come with a fully-paid, unionized janitorial staff? Cause everybody knows the Fleabaggers don’t clean up after themselves.

[Mr. K]

so they are now funded by taxpayers in taxpayer owned office space?

[reagandemocrat]

Give ‘em the Times/Mirror Building—it’s closer and even more worthless.

[Secret Agent Man]

Wow, Tea Party people should protest out there and get some office space for free too! /sarc

Bob Slydell: Milton Waddams.
Dom Portwood: Who's he?
Bob Porter: You know, squirrely looking guy, mumbles a lot.
Dom Portwood: Oh, yeah.
Bob Slydell: Yeah, we can't actually find a record of him being a current employee here.
Bob Porter: I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that he was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him about it; but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, he still gets a paycheck.
Bob Slydell: So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch.
Bill Lumbergh: Great.
Dom Portwood: So, uh, Milton has been let go?
Bob Slydell: Well, just a second there, professor. We, uh, we fixed the *glitch*. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it'll just work itself out naturally.
Bob Porter: We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem is solved from your end.

[Chode]
