A new and unexpected problem has surfaced in the Occupy Wall Street movement. Seems the homeless being released from county jails or kicked out of shelters because they broke the rules, are showing up wanting free food, free tents and free sleeping bags that were intended for the real protesters.
The chagrined organizers at first tried to accommodate them, after all this is about
sharing the wealth. But, these bums kept coming and coming, and they were making a serious impact on supplies and creating the usual problems associated with drunks and druggies. Their crazy-bum presence was unsettling to some of the protesters who felt harassed (got any spare change?) and personally insecure. And then there are the people who are the leaders and doers. They are working hard, gathering supplies, donations, making the signs and organizing marches, etc. These free-loaders are chasing away would-be supporters and depriving them of their precious limited resources….that they worked for, imagine that?
On the flip side of this are the liberal owned restaurants and businesses in the area, who supported the cause and were the major donors. Now they too are suffering. They are reaping what they have sown, because all the chaos, garbage and crazy talking bums have chased away their customers…uh, this would be the rich they once depended on, the rich won’t eat there anymore…and the rich won’t buy things from their shops anymore, they’ve simply moved on to spend their money elsewhere.
These are just some of the real life lessons being learned by Occupy Wall Street movement.
Ain’t it grand?
Wow, Weird Al has really let himself go. How exactly do you tell the difference between a “real protestor” and a drug addicted bum? Reminds me of that great line from Smokey and the Bandit “I guess a legend and an out-of-work bum look a lot alike, Daddy.” …
What more needs be said? Jack just said it all. Satire may be impossible when it comes to the OWS mob, but irony still rules the day.
What a great story, thank you for writing it. I really think this should be on the AP wires. Nice job.
What should be the OWS Theme Song: “Obama Man”
Who can take a deficit
Add a trillion or two
Cover it in bailouts
And a stimulus or two?
The Obama man can
The Obama man can
The Obama man can ’cause he mixes it with hope and makes failure taste good.
Who can take a green fraud
Wrap it in a lie
Hand out billions in loans
So solar panels can make jobs in Mexicali, Mexico fly?
OWS Chorus: The Obama man?
The Obama man
The Obama man can
The Obama man can ’cause he mixes it with hope and makes it all sound good.
The Obama man makes
Everything half-baked
The debt will always be pernicious
Talk about your child’s wishes
Grandchildren not yet born will owe the fishes
Who can take tomorrow
Crush it into dust?
Spread out the sorrow
And turn it into rust?
The Obama man
The Obama man can
The Obama man can ’cause he mixes it with hope and makes the world taste good.
Actually, you want to think about it. The nation’s truly down-trodden were never, for a second, attracted to the Tea Party movement.
Interesting.
Actually, no … entirely understandable. We’ve all been much, much, much too polite. The chief worry of the Tea Party is, was, and always will be the Brown Man in the White House. The economic distress of the lower middle has not yet come near the economic distress of the underclass. The lower middle have, as yet, no clue … but it’s not long to wait now.
Speaking of the downtrodden, is that a photo of Libbya chugging the Mad Dog?
No Pie…it isn’t.
Free-loaders abusing limited and precious resources….that others worked for, imagine that.
isn’t life interesting!
Tea Party patriots don’t hang with fleabags…who deficate, urinate, fornicate, and drug themselves in public while trashing the area and who avail themselves of Starbucks Coffee, laptops, ipods and cell phones while protesting those who bring these conveniences and comforts to them.
Who is charged with writing the laws for Wall Street to follow? Who is charged with oversight and enforcement of those laws and the big guys on Wall Street? Who, currently, picked the AG that would prosecute the guilty if he bothered to do his job? Who accepts bribes from fat cats on Wall Street in exchange for favors and campaign cash?
The Fleabaggers’ anger should be directed at President Obama and BIG government players like Reid, Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and others who made the rules that poisoned the waters and took the campaign cash. Since this is an organized protest (Soros, new name ACORN orgs, SEIU) protesting the WH would never happen. (If GWB was still president their anger would be directed toward him).
This is a purely political stunt, joined by a bunch of easily manipulated and influenced young skulls.
It’s also the bloodsucking aspect and the misdirected anger that bugs this TP supporter. Many of them want favors and even more big government solutions not realizing that big, complex, disfunctional government IS the problem.
And Libby, the nations “down trodden” have been bought with entitlements and given lousy educations. They have been treated like mushrooms to keep them on the government plantation and squarely in the Dems pocket. It’s a pathetic marriage of progressive thought and political gamesmanship. Disgusting.
Re Don (Helter Skelter) Q’s: So. when are you gonna work up the courage to come down and learn some facts?
Been there, done that. FAIL.
Facts? You mean facts like stupid lectures from some half-baked, self aggrandizing, desperate, attention seeking jackass who claims that back in the day engineers were running corporations?
ROTFLMAO!
Is Occupy Chico the launch of a new political office campaign for you, Don Q? Good start!
I see you have removed your Sarah Palin video from YouTube Quentin.

Why ever did you do that? It was classic Colgan! C’mon, man, people love that stuff.
I saved a copy in case you ever decide to run for office again. I’ll post it on YouTube and elsewhere just to see if it goes viral.
No thanks necessary, Don Q, I am happy to do it.
