They’re from many different spheres of life, but they have one thing in common:  a devotion to a truly decent society, not one undermined by corporate greed at every turn.  What started as Occupy Wall Street in New York City has spread to other communities.  The demonstrations have been known to attract several dozen participants.

Superficially, the Occupy Wall Street movement appears to be composed of people united by noble desires, and people who are demonstrating (mostly) peacefully to those ends (to the extent that such ends are articulable).  Yet some have begun to openly question the motives of the people assembling in these gatherings, and the extent to which they may be misrepresenting their true intentions.  Eventually, the uncomfortable question must be asked:

Are the Occupy Wall Street protestors fueled by pedophilia?

You don’t see it on their signs, or hear it in their rhetoric.  There are also no apparent associations with known groups or people advocating such.  Nevertheless, the undercurrent may be unmistakable.  Perhaps most tellingly, no one claiming association with the Occupy Wall Street movement has officially denied an association with pedophilia.

So what do we have here?  Americans (mostly) peaceably exercising their freedoms of assembly and speech?  Or an insidious and demented sociocultural cancer?

Frighteningly, no one seems to know for sure.

 

It was late, and we’d had a couple of beers, and…sheesh.  Everyone’s acting like sitting around taking photos of each other’s erections is such a weird thing to do.  Anyway, I said I’d need to get my macro lens, and we had a chuckle about that.

I didn’t tweet it, though.  I think Mr. Weiner probably had a little hazy moment in which he did that after I went home.

Now, folks, please.  Can’t you see that this good, decent, sincere public servant wants nothing more than to get back to work for you?

(Especially if you’re young and hot?)

 

The Incredible Shrinking Woman was one of my childhood favorites.  I remember watching it with my parents and my friend Jason who was over spending the night, less than a year before my parents divorced.  Loved Lily Tomlin my whole life.  It’s screwball enough for a kid to enjoy it.  As an adult, the satire [...]

 

A woman was shot and killed, and two sheriff’s deputies were wounded, outside a Port Orchard, Washington Wal-Mart yesterday. Four Detroit police officers were shot yesterday.  All are expected to survive, thank goodness. If nothing else is clear from these tragedies, this is:  we must work immediately to stop the incendiary right-wing political rhetoric that [...]

 

The Obama administration has finally come up with something I can enthusiastically support.  (I was beginning to wonder if that was possible.)  This is crafty leveraging of existing infrastructure, making the most of taxpayer dollars.  Love your thinking on this, Mr. President! Obama Replaces Costly High-Speed Rail Plan With High-Speed Bus Plan I hope you’re [...]
