We are drinking a fine Australian Shiraz while watching the snow fall outside. Must be wet and chilly on the streets of New York. LOL.

Good post. A shining example of CNN’s complete lack of journalistic integrity. They are only interested in shaping the news to fit their agenda.

I was down there this morning, about an hour before it started snowing. It was raining then and I saw maybe 6-8 out of the tents.

Fear not, reality-challenged faux occupiers; the DNC Media has your backs.

Even if all you do is sit in a filthy tent and shiver, CNN will make it sound noble and heroic.

said Alec Courtney, who says he runs a shoe-shine stand at the city's Zuccotti Park to make money.

I think this must be a typo. I think it should say he runs a turd-shine stand. But you know what they say about shining a turd.

"We are drinking a fine Australian Shiraz while watching the snow fall outside."

Same here, except it's a Washington State Riesling.

(Note to self: The white side of the cellar is down to a few dozen bottles. Ammo resupply as soon as the weather breaks).

Thank goodness for Big Wine!

Good post. The corrupt MSM will cast their sordid garbage pile as the equivalent of the Valley Forge encampment.

Has anyone seen this interesting 'rant' posted at FOX Nation? Supposedly it is being passed out to the 'occupiers' in Chicago:

We are Wall Street. It’s our job to make money. Whether it’s a commodity, stock, bond, or some hypothetical piece of fake paper, it doesn’t matter. We would trade baseball cards if it were profitable. I didn’t hear America complaining when the market was roaring to 14,000 and everyone’s 401k doubled every 3 years. Just like gambling, its not a problem until you lose. I’ve never heard of anyone going to Gamblers Anonymous because they won too much in Vegas.

Well now the market crapped out, & even though it has come back somewhat, the government and the average Joes are still looking for a scapegoat. God knows there has to be one for everything. Well, here we are.

Go ahead and continue to take us down, but you’re only going to hurt yourselves. What’s going to happen when we can’t find jobs on the Street anymore? Guess what: We’re going to take yours. We get up at 5am & work until 10pm or later. We’re used to not getting up to pee when we have a position. We don’t take an hour or more for a lunch break. We don’t demand a union. We don’t retire at 50 with a pension. We eat what we kill, and when the only thing left to eat is on your dinner plates, we’ll eat that.

For years teachers and other unionized labor have had us fooled. We were too busy working to notice. Do you really think that we are incapable of teaching 3rd graders and doing landscaping? We’re going to take your cushy jobs with tenure and 4 months off a year and whine just like you that we are so-o-o-o underpaid for building the youth of America. Say goodbye to your overtime, and double time and a half. I’ll be hitting grounders to the high school baseball team for $5k extra a summer, thank you very much.

So now that we’re going to be making $85k a year without upside, Joe Mainstreet is going to have his revenge, right? Wrong! Guess what: we’re going to stop buying the new 80k car, we aren’t going to leave the 35 percent tip at our business dinners anymore. No more free rides on our backs. We’re going to landscape our own back yards, wash our cars with a garden hose in our driveways. Our money was your money. You spent it. When our money dries up, so does yours.

The difference is, you lived off of it, we rejoiced in it. The Obama administration and the Democratic National Committee might get their way and knock us off the top of the pyramid, but it’s really going to hurt like hell for them when our fat a**es land directly on the middle class of America and knock them to the bottom.

We aren’t dinosaurs. We are smarter and more vicious than that, and we are going to survive. The question is, now that Obama & his administration are making Joe Mainstreet our food supply…will he? and will they?”

Should be its own thread...if it has already been posted; I can't find it.

it’s not a phenomenon... it’s all part of a script they are following, trying to ‘achieve’ critical mass through the media

it’s all carefully orchestrated

kind of like the former marine in oakland getting hit in the face with a canister... and a stun grenade landed next to him a moment later. obviously targeted so they can use the event for their ‘kent state’ moment.

watch... they’ll be trying to convince the troopers to join their cause... fight back against the ‘oppression of the man’
