“I did everything I was supposed to and I have nothing to show for it.”
It’s not the arrests that convinced me that “Occupy Wall Street” was worth covering seriously. Nor was it their press strategy, which largely consisted of tweeting journalists to cover a small protest that couldn’t say what, exactly, it hoped to achieve. It was a Tumblr called, “We Are The 99 Percent,” and all it’s doing is posting grainy pictures of people holding handwritten signs telling their stories, one after the other.

Who are the 99 percent?
To all Occupy Wall Street participants, here is the key to your victory… (for serious)
Guys, listen. Here’s the deal.
I love you guys with every shred of my hard-left leaning heart. But I think you might be doing something wrong. Here is one thing that can help you.
Tomorrow, wear a polo and khakis
Seriously. polos and khakis. Every time you guys DO finally get some fucking press, it’s a scrawny dude with dreads in a ratty t-shirt. You’re going big here, dress it. Tomorrow, Polo shirt and Khakis. (more…)
Don’t vote for cancer.
If you vote against Obama because he can’t get stuff done, it’s kinda like saying, “this guy can’t cure cancer. I’m gonna vote for cancer.”

I know I’ve shared this elsewhere, but goddamn I love it.
Tea partiers are whiny bitches.
I was going to talk more about this, but I lost steam. Basically, the Tea Partiers’ (I still like “tea-baggers” better!) plight is moot. They have excess while there are way more people who have not enough. Therefore, I will have no sympathy for the tea partiers, because there are people more deserving of my sympathy, my support, and my attention.
This is all I have to say, and then I am done: Call the fucking waaaambulance. And go volunteer at a soup kitchen.
This is for you, tea partiers.
