Occupy Wall Street News: Over 100 cops refuse to work in NYC
Well I'll be (sceptically) damned. I have heard that the shitheads doing the most abusive stuff were the white shirted police, and that the blue shirts (everyday patrol officers) were not part of the pepper spraying and beatdowns. But this is all rumor and I am in Seattle, not on the ground in New York.

Think Bigger You Small Minded Shitheads
I keep reading all these objections to the Occupy Wall Street people that center on "what's their message? Why can't these bored kids pick something and focus on it? You're never gonna accomplish anything if you don't have a message".
What, exactly should they pick? I mean, it's kinda an old tool of the kyriarchy to narrow the focus of complaints down to the tiniest of things so that real change never really happens. "Don't focus on gay marriage when people are dying in Iraq", "We have to ignore women's equality so we can elect Democrats and then we'll all be safe in happy abortion land" blah blah blah blah.
But really change don't work that fucking way. It ain't piecemeal, decided by the polite folks over afternoon tea. It happens when the system is dragged, kicking and screaming (or more likely billy-clubbing and pepper-spraying) into something better(ish).
What we know is this: the system is fucked for all but a handful of old white men. It's fucked for non-men, non-whites, non-rich, non-straight, non-able bodied. It's fucked for Americans and Greeks and Spaniards and Moroccans and Egyptians and and and and and. It's fucked economically, environmentally, judiciously, politically.
To narrow down the message to a single, or even a dozen demands would water down any change to nothing.
You don't tear down the master's house with the master's tools. Concise lists of demands are a kyriarchial tool. Besides, we all know what the current President thinks about bargaining. He starts from the center right. Progressive requests will be ignored, unless you chain yourself to the White House fence or the Wall Street pig.

Oh fucking President Hopey Changey is in town
So of course going to the grocery store and dropping off the boyfriend's car in a free parking place is going to be about as much fun as dealing the Obot Fanboyz. Well, maybe not that bad. I generally don't get rape threats in traffic jams.
(Also please note the the President's first stop was in Medina, to pick up the not-taxed money from the wealthy douchnoodles who are bringing us into Great Depression 2.0. FUCKERS)
(And as another aside, TOE and I had a little convo the other day about how you can tell a pol by who his/her most ardent supporters are - and also of course by what they actually say. But isn't it funny how some of Obama's most horrid fan boyz voted for Bush Jr. the first time around cause Al Gore was too socialist or something. Shit, Kos was a republican, Andrew Sullivan was a republican, Ariana Huffington was a republican, etc. etc. etc. The didn't change their beliefs, they just changed their party).

Link Farming Answers Burning Questions!
Is Obama the feminist son we feminist parents hope to raise? No, and fuck you for even suggesting it.
Is Dan Savage now a medical doctor with a degree in fat science? No, and fuck him for suggesting a guy should solve his serious problem of depression and agoraphobia with weight loss surgery.
Are NYPD cops the fucking worst? Maybe. They suck pretty hard, but so do cops everywhere.
Are poor people really poor if they own 2 tvs? OH FUCK YOU, YOU WEEPING ASS BOIL. I own 2 tvs. I got them for free. Neither of them are digital, so to make them work without cable requires a converter box and the macdaddy of all antennas, each. That's in a city, near the broadcast towers. TVs are cheap. (If I lived in the boonies without internet, you're damn skippy that I'd need cable too.) Healthcare, food, housing, education are not cheap.
Was Troy Davis Murdered by the state because he was a Black man? Oh hell yes he was.
Now for something funny.

Fuck the Police
Yep, that's the NYPD pepper spraying a bunch of women who are peacefully protesting as part of Occupy Wall Street.
The elites always use "law and order" as a form of violence when their supremacy is threatened. Always. It's in the fucking playbook.
It's gauche, man, gauche
Capitalism, that is. It's rude and crude and as disgusting as chewing gum stuck to the bottom of a table.
(And btw, Oscar Wilde's mum was an Irish Republican- the only good kind of Republican)
