But worst of all is those gosh awful "V for Vendetta" masks and the stupid variations of them. Sheesh. <br /><br />Bush and Obama are both complicit in crony capitalism. But then, it is a tendency of human nature to follow the golden rule - he who has the gold makes the rules. Bush is gone so its Obama's turn and despite his promises, he sure hasn't slowed the pace down any. His people with ties to AIG or Goldman Sachs etc. includes Tim Geithner, Bill Daley, Jim Milstien, Peter Orszag, Greg Craig, Gary Gensler, Lawrence Summers and Henry Paulson. Admittedly some came from Wall Street to the administration, some left to go to Wall Street - but the incest and influence remains the same. And let's not forget Princess Pelosi's credit card scheme. Drat that far right - winger news program '60 Minutes' for daring to bring that up. <br /><br />And the administration in the meantime sprinkles its pixie dust on the protesters, or as Nancy Pelosi would say, "God bless em for their spontaneity." Washington tries to have it both ways - pander to the money folks who finance their election campaigns, and suck up to those protesting the money folks. <br /><br />At some point that charade is not going to work. And from the remarks and actions of some of the leaders of the OWS, Obama, Pelosi & Reid may find out they don't have the control or influence they thought. It's hard to control the pit bulls back once you've sic'd them and they've tasted blood.Alligatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764752508206031685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-83582236792568724332011-11-20T23:54:34.914-07:002011-11-20T23:54:34.914-07:00No, Jersey,

Michael Grimm, a Staten Island...From Politico: Rep. Michael Grimm, a Staten Island Republican, has a message for the protesters of Occupy Wall Street: buy some soap, you dirty hippies, and get out of my city. Grimm’s office just issued a press release for the two month anniversary of the protests—but it wasn’t exactly commemorative. “These people have overstayed their welcome and it’s time they get the heck out of New York City. Between the filth, the smell, the incessant noise, and threat to public safety, they have done nothing but cause a nuisance to the people who work and live in Lower Manhattan. They’ve cost the city and surrounding businesses millions of dollars, and it’s time these people find a more productive use of their time. New Yorkers have had ENOUGH!,” Grimm said in the release. “The people I represent are the hard-working ‘99%’ who simply want to go to work, do their jobs, and get home to their families without being hassled along the way, he continued. “They already face one of the longest commutes in the nation without having to deal with this mob. It is reprehensible for these lowlifes to overrun the Staten Island Ferry or the subways to Brooklyn and add further hours to the trip home.” The congressman also commended Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the New York Police Department, under some criticism from the protesters for their clearing of Zucotti Park earlier this week, on their efforts at “managing a potentially violent and destructive situation.” “They have done a tremendous job!” he said. “However, it has been two months and now it’s time for the OWS protesters to pack up their tents, buy a bar of soap, and head home.”<br /><b>And I for one happen to agree.</b>Kelly Thomasnoreply@blogger.com
