UH OH YALL. I was at the Protest festival known as OWS and I was hoping tjhe bank ceo would here my sweet hand drum beats. unfortunately I made a mistake and did a bad rythm.
Do you think I can still get a sponsor for my hand drumming? Really scared I just blew the whole deal for myself and my drumming circle.  |

I just returned from the latest Tea Party rally. I told them I was "taxed enough already" but some pinko commie liberal was there saying Obama just gave us all the biggest tax cut to the middle class in a generation. What an idiot. He should know that Kenyan-Muslim-Marxist-Fascist-Hitler-Antichrist would never cut taxes. He needs to fund unlimited abortions and force everyone to get gay married.
But I tell you what, if he tries to lay a government hand on my Medicare, they're will be hell to pay. |

I visited Occupy Wall Street and saw everyone hated bank bailouts and corporatism, but I didn't join them since my TV says they're lazy, unemployed hippies.

Hey guys, I'm a CEO for a Wall Street company and I just completely screwed up majorly by authorizing a whole lot of insanely dodgy, semi-illegal trades and lost our company and shareholders billions of dollars, but no problem, right?
The American taxpayer can cover all of these losses- it's not like they have any badly needed job-creating infrastructure projects that they would be better off spending the money on or anything.
Not only that but my buddies on the board will make sure that not only will I keep my job and $20 million a year salary but that this year I will receive a record bonus! Pretty sweet, huh? 
To top it all off, my ex-colleagues down at the fed and my lobbyist buddies on Capitol Hill are working hard to make sure that me and all the other incompetent traders and bankers will never face any sort of regulation to prevent us doing exactly the same thing over and over again and there ain't a goddamn thing any smelly hippies can do about it, because we control both parties! Gotta love it! <3  |

By the way, speaking of the banks owning both parties and actively ridiculing anti-bailout groups like the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street: A certain "list of demands" is being constantly referenced by the media as being what OWS wants. Conservative sites call it their "manifesto".
http://occupywallst.org/forum/proposed-list-of-demands-for-occupy-wall-st-moveme/
The demands are mostly ridiculous socialist dribble that would destroy America... But what I didn't realize until recently is that it's just a post on their online forum. It's not official at all. Hell, it was even put there by an anonymous poster with no standing in Occupy Wall Street whatsoever.
And yet, that's the image the media has chosen to give you. They create their own "lazy, unemployed socialists" rather than showing the chants you'll actually hear of "Banks got bailed out, we got sold out".
I mean, have you seen any signs reflecting those demands? Has ANYONE held a sign asking for a huge minimum wage increase? Have there been ANY signs in those crowds for total debt forgiveness? They just aren't there. |

The Beltway Media (media outlets centered in DC) are the worst examples of press ever created. The think every syllable uttered by a conservative is like Moses coming down from the mountain top and that liberals are to just be observed, tagged, and studied like deer on National Geographic. I kid you not, they once sent a person to cover the location of where a Tea Party rally was held the day before. That's right. A big empty yard with no people, yet there was a cameraman and a reporter filming it talking about the dozen or so people that were there yesterday. Yet a massive demonstration help by liberals across the country get's lambasted as hippies protesting rich people and pooping on cars.

Bingo.
We haven't had a liberal media since at least the early 80s.
For a bit of nostalgia: In '68 there were a lot of college age people hot for a guy named McCarthy, but many of them had long hair (not as long as it got later, but still...) who cut their hair so as not to alienate Middle America.
Moral: The OWS crowd may want to reconsider dressing up like zombies and staggering past TV cameras. While theater may be fun, it does not necessarily send the message you are intending, especially given that the media owners you are criticizing are the ones you have to go through to get your message out.
PS: There is supposed to be a Korean OWS thing in Yoido on Saturday. |

Matt talked on Don Imus about OWS' lack of a coherent message, and why that makes sense, and what their effect might be. |
