Our Toupée

When do you suppose we will begin hearing calls for a NATO air campaign in Southern Manhattan?

Responsibility to protect!

Seriously? Give it up. It'll be drones or nothing else. We've got an industry to protect: http://unmannedsystemscaucus.mckeon.house.gov/

Perhaps the irony would be sharper had there already been calls for a NATO air campaign in, say, Greece or somethin. Premature ejaculation, dude; this post has June 7, 2013 written all over it.

If the New York Times gets their way again, preventative strikes will be needed -
“Is this Occupy Wall Street thing a big deal?” the C.E.O. asked me. I didn’t have an answer. “We’re trying to figure out how much we should be worried about all of this,” he continued, clearly concerned. “Is this going to turn into a personal safety problem?”

i think actual bankers are more concerned for the fact that the stock market has contracted 15% in the last 3 months. they're not afraid of these kids. many of them WERE these kids!

Hey Zoz -

What do you get if you cross an Obama with a jelly-donut?

An O'Berliner ...

And since you are one, why don't you hie your candy-ass to Southern Manhattan and show 'em how to do street-theatre?

It was Oberlin, wasn't it? I thought for a moment it might have been Kenyon ...

Nony 12:49 was that supposed to make one chortle? Because it doesn't make a bit of sense.

I think they have adequate ground forces there to handle a bunch of unarmed protestors. Now, if there are people providing material support from some remote town, they might get a droning.

As Cartman taught us, all you need is a copy of Slayer's Reign In Blood to disperse hippies once the jam band festival begins.

“Is this going to turn into a personal safety problem?” Oh if only, but the hippies....

That's overkill. I'm sure there are some water cannon somewhere they could use.

The joke at 12:49 would be equally funny (i.e., not) if the setup were "What do you get if you cross an Irishman with a jelly donut."

I'm sure you know there's no "F" in lettuce, as the old joke goes.

But it appears to have escaped your attention that there's no "Ob" in "Irishman".

to Lucid at 1:13 - I can see you're suffering from a low level of L=A=N=G=P=O=, and strongly suggest some rapid infusions of Jorie Graham ...

Once pwoggies suspect OWS might be bad "optics" for Barry O's election campaign they'll be labelled Naderites...
Then you'll see the big stick come out. Should take about a week from now.

My apologies.

I should have put "Ob" and "Irishman" in quotes, to indicate that they should be considered as tokens (literals), not referents.

Wait a sec - what am I apologizing to you for, you fucking dunderhead?

You should have known that.
