Their latest thing seems to be not identifying themselves as Occupy Wall Street. The charmers who tore up the Astor Place Starbucks did the same. Meanwhile OWS marches around the streets. Clever, right? An attempt to blur our focus.

Clue: We hate generic terrorists too.

They now meet in the middle of a field so their cute little plans can’t be overheard. Gives the term “Sheep Meadow” a whole new meaning.

These must be OWSers because DUmmies are to lazy to get off their mom’s couch.

I would enjoy this story more had it been a real bomb, command-detonated by the FBI UC agent(s) as they drove away.
