Last weekend, the nonagenarian Commie Pete Seeger was wheeled out at Zuccotti Park to serenade the oppressed masses with “If I Had a Hammer.” As it happens, I do have a hammer. Pace Mr. Seeger, they’re not that difficult to acquire, even in a recession. But, if I took it to Zuccotti Park, I doubt very much anyone would know how to use it, or be able to muster the energy to do so.

Someone should tell that old Commie Seeger to go to Home Depot: he could get a hammer for two bucks.

An organic orange? What the H is an organic orange? What is an organic anything? A plant takes the nutrients it needs from the soil. It matters little if the nutrients come from a fertilizer bag or a cow pack. The plant uses what it needs. The only real difference is that you are more apt to get ecoli from cow packs. Remember the deaths from the organic spinach? Commercial fertilizer is cleaner and healthier than cow packs or horse manure.

This high-priced, organic-produce foolishness is perpetuated for the uneducated masses who believe in manmade climate change.

At first glance, an alliance of anarchists and government might appear to be somewhat paradoxical. But the formal convergence in Oakland makes explicit the movement’s aims: They’re anarchists for statism, wild free-spirited youth demanding more and more total government control of every aspect of life — just so long as it respects the fundamental human right to sloth.

Who is John Galt?

Steyn absolutely nails it!

Brutal and brilliant.

If the pen truly IS ‘mightier than the sword’, Steyn is in rarefied company;

“The government class enthusiastically backing the breakdown of civil order is making common cause with the leisured varsity class, the thuggish union class, and the criminal class in order to stick it to what’s left of the beleaguered productive class.

It’s a grand alliance of all those societal interests that wish to enjoy in perpetuity a lifestyle they are not willing to earn. Only the criminal class is reasonably upfront about this. The rest — the lifetime legislators, the unions defending lavish and unsustainable benefits, the “scholars” whiling away a somnolent half decade at Complacency U — are obliged to dress it up a little with some hooey about “social justice” and whatnot.”

I’m going to work on memorizing this.
