'Occupy the Tundra': One woman's lonely vigil in bush Alaska
October 15, 2011 | 7:15 am
She is standing alone with her dogs with an early frost on the grass, staking her claim as part of the 99%. "Occupy the Tundra," says the sign she holds, hand-lettered on an old piece of cardboard.
Thousands of Americans are occupying Wall Street and various plazas, parks and squares across America. Diane McEachern has made sure that Bethel, Alaska -- a town of 6,400 way out in western Alaska -- is among them.
The picture she posted on the Occupy Wall Street Facebook page of herself in a musk-ox neck warmer, standing in the grass with her dogs in silent protest of corporate greed, has become the rural equivalent of a million-man march. The photo has been shared by thousands of people around the world.

LOL such stupidity .
Anything for attention
Her dogs does not appear to be happy to have their picture taken.
Another bearded, female Palin hater. Beware of Alaskan women with beards.
How much did they pay her to do it?
Idiot.
Nothing says “low class” like the free mixture of upper and lower case letters.
Occupy England!!!
The young black dog would be the first you’d have to shoot- you can see in it’s eyes. The others would run away squalling, although the blond shepherd mix might show some loyalty.
I can’t do it.
The jokes almost write themselves. Too easy.

After graduating from Emory University in Atlanta in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska, where he went to live in the wilderness. Four months later, he turned up dead. His diary, letters and two notes found at a remote campsite tell of his desperate effort to survive, apparently stranded by an injury and slowly starving. They also reflect the posturing of a confused young man, raised in affluent Annandale, Va., who self-consciously adopted a Tolstoyan renunciation of wealth and return to nature.Another rebel without a clue.

Occupy the tundra..... Feed the bears
My grandad lived in Annandale- I had friends that went there- remember the Steely Dan song “My Old School”? Hung out there many a weekend.
I went to Fort Hunt down in Alexandria.
Is this that ugly diva from Mudflats?
The bear.
I can’t believe she wasted six months worth of toilet paper to make a sign.
