Attention, Boston: The Occupiers want YOU — to do their laundry.
The Occupation movement featured an online posting on Monday requesting “volunteers” to come to the New York City campsite, pick up the protesters’ laundry, “take it to their home to get it clean and bring it back.”
You know — just like Mom?
Has there ever been such a collection of mewling, puking overgrown babies as the clueless college brats of the “Occupation” — a particularly ironic phrase given how few of these oafs actually have one.
Ask them what they’re protesting and, according to The New York Times [NYT], one leader said, “It doesn’t matter . . . Just protest.”
Ask them why they’re protesting on the Greenway, and they have no idea. Occupy Boston’s only communication is a letter addressed to “The 1%, Wall St., All Cities, USA.”
“We want our country back,” it said.
Well, kids, here’s a message from working folks: “Go home to Mom and Dad’s basement. We want our Greenway back.”
When the Occupation movement began two weeks ago, the Herald reported that protesters “are angry that they went to college, incurred punishing debt and now cannot find jobs.” Uh . . . OK.
Now that you mention it, if I were a college grad without a job, I might show up in Boston’s financial district, too. But I’d show up with a resume, a suit and a fresh haircut, not a sign reading “End Capitalism NOW!”
Attacking Wall Street because you’re jobless is like burning down Whole Foods because you’re hungry.
Unless, that is, you’re waiting for someone to give you a job. There’s talk from the Occupiers about “giving,” only they mean it in the sense of “taking.”

The idea of even touching one of these hippies dirty undergarments just made me sick to my stomach. Not with a ten foot pole and a gun held to my head. Ick.
Not sure I would want to wear clothes when I didn’t know who washed them.
Ground Fibre Glass itch’s really bad.
“Ground fiber glass itch’s really bad...”
I guess someone could drag the clean undies through poison oak or sumac. I bet that could be super uncomfortable for quite a while!! LOL!
What skills to they have? What traits do they possess that are worth paying for? Do they have strong character? Do they have a work ethic? Pride? Humility? Who would bet a dollar on any of them?
Seems like Europe is way ahead of us in breeding these dolts, but we're catching up. Cultural decline in full swing. The death of the West.

I like the comment one guy made on the article's comment page. He is heading over there tomorrow with his brothers truck to pick up the clothes. He just isn't going to return them :-)
I could end these “occupations” in one hour. Use available equipment to block all wireless communication signals to the occupiers. I guarantee you almost all of them would be gone shortly.
In our “dependent” society we’ve taught students that someone else will solve their problems, that they deserve a good job upon graduation, that it’s someone else’s fault if they don’t get one, and that it’s unfair when they realize they’ve accumulated lots of college debt. And, of course, the “rich” are evil even though they hope their college education will make them tons of money.
Wear a hazmat suit, arrive with a flamethrower and multiple burn barrels. Should take care of that little laundry problem they are having.
That would be AWESOME!
Volunteer to wash the hippy laundry and return it all fresh, folded and filled with itching powder!
Love it!
These are the same great Americans that have been repaid for their vote in 08 by allowing them to remain parasites on their parents health insurance. Will he forgive their college loans next?

My son is 23. He’s married and has lots of friends his age, both married and single. I asked him the other day if any of his friends, or their spouses in the case of the married kids, were unemployed, and he said that everyone of his friends had jobs. Now, he’s fortunate, he has a job in his field, he did say some of his friends haven’t found jobs in their field of study, or were underpaid (his opinion), but they all were working. So it does make you wonder about these kids that are protesting. How are they financing their ability to go days w/out working? Who’s paying their bills?
That being said, I do believe unemployment is a real problem. But I think it’s harder for an older person to find a job these days that it is for the young people (especially college grads.) Corporations can get these kids “cheap” and let go their more experienced, higher paid employees.
Should we be surprised these protestors can’t get jobs with their college degrees in Peace Studies, Womyns Studies and Marxism?
I am sure a lot of those protestors are trust fund kids, middle-class and upper-middle class. They've had it too easy, and yet don't know how to provide for themselves. They have behavior issues because of divorce, neglect, bad parenting, other societal ills. It's a big tantrum against authority (proxy for their parents.)
It's also a lack of religion. People crave a purpose, something larger than themselves to give life meaning. In a godless world, politics--especially leftist idealism--fills that void. Not everyone is cut out to cope with an absurd, impersonal world.
Oh I don’t know.
The “get a Job” chorus really makes little sense right now. There aren’t any.
Read this story yesterday in the St. Pete Times. In Tampa, a hacker group has threatened to hack the IT of the Tampa police, if the protesters are disturbed by police, etc.
hey! great idear!
I could use some new t-shirts...
or I could sell them on ebay as genuine protester clothing!
which i think woul dbe a great capitalist thing to do...
