OWS: Come for the Marxism, stay for the scabies!
LOL
Reagan’s remark about the hippies is apropos:
“They act like Tarzan, they look like Jane, and they smell like Cheetah.”
Ole Newt follows Herman Cain’s lead

Good for Newt.
GO NEWT GO......
President Newt Gingrich.... it’s going to happen.
We all take the facilities so much for granted we don’t realize how silly our criticism of the homeless or OWS types are for not being clean.
IF you are going to live on the street or occupy a park, you just are not going to have access to the facilities where you can stay clean. No shower, and limited access to laundry. Unless somebody provides it to them.
Those who look down on them for being dirty aren’t being realistic. If Tea Party types were to live under the same conditions, they’d be just as dirty.
I’m not a fan of the Occupants, and don’t approve of their Occupation, but there is just no way for them to Occupy and still be hygienic. Mutually exclusive goals.
So a perfectly reasonable response by an Occupier to Newt, when he suggests they take a bath, is “Where?”
I think I have recognized a new form of life in our society - The “GUPPIE”
First there were “Hippies” -
Persons of unconventional appearance, typically having long hair and wearing beads, associated with a subculture involving a rejection of conventional values and the taking of hallucinogenic drugs
Next came “Yuppies” -
Well paid young urban professionals employed in the city and typically enjoying a luxurious lifestyle.
And now we have “Guppies*” -
Greedy unemployable parasites of a society that exhibit a bewildering sense of entitlement, despite the bankruptcy of the welfare state being obvious to even the most hopeful hippies and the yuppies of yesteryear.
