Watch Occupy Seattleites Awesomely Hijack “Today” (PHOTOS)
“Today’s Forecast: No Jobs.”
Apparently Kathi Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb were in Seattle today for their hour of the Today Show… and Occupy Seattle decided to occupy the back ground crowd…
hmm I just heard that Occupy Oakland has been served with an eviction notice… they can gather in the day but they are evicted from staying overnight. We shall see….
those pics at the link are great.
I got a big kick out of it…
A Guardian article on the Greek riots
That last sentence sounds familiar doesn’t it?
So classic.
hmm they cleared out Occupy Oakland during the night… It seemed it was coming, there have been “visits” and “tours” thru the main encampment by various city officials, at a square in front of city hall, Okagawa Sq, named for the Asian astronaut in Challenger.
Rotten Bastids! As if clearing a tent city is going to make those problems…er, I mean PEOPLE, go away. 😈
Here the occupation is growing despite the legal limbo (still waiting for council, city manager making a phone would be all it takes) The number of tents appears to have tripled since the first day. With our warm fall and the large number of indigent winter visitors in the Ol’ Pueblo I wonder if once the City Council gives the go ahead (something we hope for at the meeting next week) that the local occupation continues past the late december de-campment I’ve heard they plan in NY
oops my error … they cleared out the small encampment in San Jose, also in a square in front of City Hall. Started clearing at about 3 am.
Oakland has received an eviction notice… so I expect it will be cleared sometime over tonight.
Dem mayors, both cities, of course. SF will be next I think….They already cleared it once, last saturday, full scale removal during the night.
Our Hidalgo, Bob Walkup is a R, but more of a good time charlie from the clubhouse than any kind effective reactionary…besides he’s just basically chair of the council with one vote and ceremonial responsibilities; our city manager functions as most mayors do (the chief executive that hires, fires, directs bureaucracies) but has no vote. The council is majority Dem, but has just been a handmaiden to the real power here, the real estate developers. Of course now that industry imploded almost as spectacularly as Phoenix’s has, and questions about long time promises (on the taxpayers dime, of course) of fat-cat feeding trough known as Rio Nuevo revitalizing downtown are increasingly questioned, and our water issues become more and more dire the tools on the council don’t know who to serve anymore…
Speaking of what did they do with the money… it has come out in a new report on infrstruture that San Francisco Co is in the WORST SHAPE OF THE ENTIRE state. So now, media decides to show us (not news really if you pay some attention, but still!) crumbling bridges. And they are crumbling badly. We all know about the roads, an old story here, we apparently value Pot Holes…. etc.
So all I can think is, where did the money go. (Into ther own pockets, of course) We are not a poor county, not even now (despite poor mouthing!)…. and we def had the set up t be first in line for “shovel ready” jobs from what I called the Stumble Money Bill…
And so on..
Its hard to believe you could have more pot-holes than us ( and I’m not talking about stoned jerks like myself- 😆 )…
10 years ago while a grad student at UofA, my boss, a post-dco from Alemania, was fond of unfavorably comparing our roads around town with “third world countries” Things have only degraded since then. Of course, if you go the elite northern edge of the city, where the High Schools have heated Olympic Pools (and a high percentage oof junkie students) their roads are perfect…
OkayYa Go-wa Square……
Oh Fer.Fuhhck’s.Sa – aake! ~..
No Campaign Treats this year?
No kibble? No snausages, even?
Bin Laden AND Ghaddafi’s corpse to stage? Anyone?
Oh cheer up,all ye Rabid Ape Liberals – only SINCERE when chestbeating Bloody Ends.- My my my –
Have the Dems got a candidate for You!
Hey, ya ask me, I SAY it’s an endorsement to go all roving bands of murder and mayhem HERE, no? Right? Yes? No?
Watering “Trees of Liberty” with Blood, Yes? Yes?
Hope for Change you can Believe In, Yes? We Can,? Yes?
Unfortunately Bush (and Rover) will go in to the “political races” history book on the three wins – 96 in Tejas, 2000 and Reelection…. If only poor Slob had put in place something other than Clinton Continuation People, he could point to an Obama era.
But he cannot. False second coming advertised in 2008? Oh sure toss him that one.
I see Hillary’s a hit in Pakistan.
Kisses and Flowers! – ROASTED!
I didn’t know they had an Occpation in that Pakistan…. 😳 oh wait, that’s right they do…. (/crickets)
Workin’ the Vota Liberal….
Well, almost all…and the 40K “contractors” that will now be hired, well there’s a lot of South Africans and Israelis and other interationl merc types so it won’t be America, per se but more of will be an international cartel of the billing…
Reading behind “Mitch’s” lines on MSNBC, it sounds like their pulling out because Iraq’s parliament won’t grant US forces “immunity” past the New Year…
Not that it matters of course, the two parties much less the cartoonish debate routine are tightly rigged, but still… makes me see RED…
AND I see Discrepancies arise over how Gaddafi died
I think SO – WAPO – I think SO!
:
But Look man, MSNBC now has a blurb up on how the owner of the private uhm LION TIGER AND BEAR PRESERVE in Ohio was ah…DEEP IN DEBT.
So there’s thaaat.
Oh gather ROUNDS, Irony Lovers, gather ’round…
– – > We not only have the 300 + ready-to-burst million or so who can distill their own urine into heavy-on-the-nitrates improvised gelignite devices, we ALSO got the Debt Laden, heretofore Dr DooLitttle Motherfuckers now ready to unleash the veritable Seven Signs outta there OWN HOUSE.
I suspect there is a lot of gruesome video of the whole sordid affair…have you seen the “sewer pipe” pictures with the fuzzed out “rebel” inspecting the pipe? CIA asset? Maybe he’s a frog or wop spook? But I’m sure there’s no doubt amongst those who enabled the mob….
I think it was coordinated. Nato from above, select group on the ground…. waiting for the signal to sweep in.
Definitely…as is, ( I suspect) the Hill dismayed at Blackberry report…
Her Crime-Family-as-State-Department operation touched down in Libya just a few days ago..
All of which they’ve purchased at ever steeper prices IMO.
Embrace the Arab Spring? Well they’re going to need to embrace it ALL. Inevitable red meat bloody pulp street insurrections and ALL.
There are signs, however small, however great the efforts are of the PTB to conceal them, of their losing the grip on rank and file mil, cops, and critical infrastructure workers here… The confrontations in Pentagon Town Halls overseas with Mullen, etc… those moments of existential crisis you can see within rank and file NYPD, ****pivotal moments in the street, and they definitely definitely know their vulnerability among communications workers, their quick hustle this summer on Verizon strikers notwithstanding…
Oh Weld the manholes! Check all access panels!
Armor the Door!
** And – (decider-dly for a moment OUT of my not-given-to-dealing-with-nuance bhhm character now ) – IMHO if asking the deeper relevant questions wrt to ANY premise of necessarily affording street cred for Iraq Vet Shamar Thomas or any other mil-person else for that matter, it’s worth seeing his interview by Olberman, dare I say….
The guy’s affections steeped in Change rhetoric is there, notation of his family’s career Enlisted background too ….Yet Definitely indicative of more Kokesh-like fissures appearing in, simple matter of fact now – more home-from-the-Mil starting to appear in the streets telling it like it is,
And w/r/t This” Iraq Over” ObSlobber now…part of a piece IMO, the PTB rollout of rapid response in the battle to preserve monopoly on the “Our Hero’s” BRAND. Which, for those watching carefully the full length vid at the end of Sgt Thomas v shellshocked NYPD, the white shirts summoned any cops who had “been to ‘raq” to DEAL with him….Very poorly handled by some dick white fireplug who said Yeh? I been ta “raq – keep it moving ….” it was AFTER that the cops withdrew from the meme-breakdown-clusterfuck with people shouting Go Back! Go Back to Iraq!
Bottom Line? Command Narrative LOST.
Existential Crisis Rules the Day…. and Night.
I see Hill and Huma are still together. Hell even i am starting to ”buy” it.
One video I don’t have access to, …..not that I’m interested.
maybe Huma’s soon to be ex – WhatsHisWeiner- the disoriented-on-Twitter/ Marital-Bliss-And-Career-Now-Under-the-Bus guy, will accidentally post one up from the Private Collection….
I wonder where Weiner ends up. He’s kind of a liability now. when it first broke i did not pay a lot of attention, I thought someone had broken into an anonymous twitter account… and discovered it was Weiner. THEN I found out it was his official Anthony J Weewee Member of Congress Twitteroo acct.
IDIOT.
The last bit of the “shame” video is where citizen Thomas really showed his careful nature, and hence respectable IMO; his alpha-male display, while not exactly facade (dude is no doubt the very definition of tough) was purely a demonstration and certainly not out of control. The telling moment for me is when the “I was in Iraq too” little thug in bleu shows up. (and you’re 100% correct that we are soon to see a lot more of these troglydytes) Clearly a mental moron as well as emotionally handicapped (call me judgmental but the eyes never lie), the little sociopath was instantly recognized by thomas as the cops’ check-mate move and he retired to the accolades of the varied Nyers. Truly a tour d’ force, by what I’d call a “good guy jock” Betcha he was defenisve captain or some such thing back on the ol’ high school team…
Oh he’s LEGIT, definitely a stand up guy.
As the saying goes, He REPRESENTS.
Which makes him a fucking nightmare for the PTB.
Oh the Pre-Empt Radicalization memo has gone out as they know THE central debate on peoples politic minds is over legitimate use of force. And uh, the growing number of “folks” lining up to occupy that too.
So we’ll be treated now to more Live from the Prosthesis Shop broadcasts and Brain Blasted Congressional Debutante Balls than ever before.
They’re not going to waste anytime–
ATOP HuffPo now, a Big Font day I see..
That said, Occupations and Direct Action are designed to be Non Violent. Like U.S. Diplomacy,
Humanitarian Aid and NASA engineering,
You know, Shit Happens.
So we’ll be treated now to more Live from the Prosthesis Shop broadcasts and Brain Blasted Congressional Debutante Balls than ever before.
Mamma Obama hand feeding the blind quadriplegics – WH garden raised, blanched and braised vegies in soy butter…. You KNOW it’s coming.
ugh Liion tiger man was something like (so the reports go) 68K in debt.
Mostly I have run away from this story…ti is just too horrifying. But I DO wonder where the wif is.
Inspired by the last thread, I’m thinking of reworking this piece so Obama’s face is in the lower left hand corner. And submitting it to his re-election contest. What do you all think, Fans?
To replace the 50’s style stepfordian? Super. I love it. The color palette is so cheery and optimistic that it sets up a powerful tension with the content and import of the piece.
FWIW Can you make Obama look like her? (lip stick, wig, etc.)
Oh, I wouldn’t want to offend actual cross-dressers by doing that. Also, people would probably mistake him for The Joker, and I don’t even read Batman comics, usually…
I’m actually long overdue to do another “Blue Skies” collage. But I have to think of a good hook first.
😆 Everybody gets offended when linked to Oobster…I guess there ain’t nothing funny about our Joker in Chief
Fucker in Foo Foo.
I’d find him funnier if he were happening to somebody else. :p
😆 😆 😆 BARRY TO ANNOUNCE END of IRAQ WAR! 😆 😆 😆

Intimating threats To Obliterate PAKISTAN
Oh we have said we (hilarious) can do what we like to Pakstan in an effort to eradicate groups……….that knit and sew. Somethng like that.
Terra Terra Terra.
Chris Matthews. (WITH Mrs GREENSPAN!)
Under, uhm – multiple MSNBC /GE corporate newsfeed banners that render the , ehhh, broadcasters themselves into the size of a postage stamp on a 40″ inch flat screen.
“End of an Era” 🙄 No banners. 🙄 No DramaBamaMamma.
🙄 “Peace As Promised.” 🙄
YEH RIGHT.
“Peace as promised” but FIRST: Eat your peas.
Oh THATS it! – PEAS! As Promised! 😉 😆 Good One!
Iraq Veterans for CitBank Anyone?
Oh CUE some group now to appear in some New York Ob-slobbery Home for Thanksgiving Parade – issuing of course – a very moving statement of Solidarity with………… BaaARRY
he cut into the end of young and the restless to announce this bullshit
I’m wondering if the old guard is slowly disappearing from Dkos… In years past a diary like this would have been roundly mocked and the author dismissed as a troll. But because of the success of OWS, it’s on the rec list and very noticeably none of the usual suspects are in the comment thread.
I highly recommend reading the whole thing – though long. It’s an excellent piece.
Thanks for that lucid…. 😉
Yeah, muchi garcias dude.
That was quite good. And to think that I’ve been avoiding that place for years for fear of an fulminant case of orange rash… 😉
The day Kos’ enforcers start to vocally love the OWS movement is the day you should run like hell. :p Only Michael Moore and whatsisface from SEIU could deliver the killing blow faster…
No need to worry yet. I noticed geekesque defending police brutality in a comment thread the other day.
Well just you wait, Ms Xee —
when they roll out DailyKos OccupyLondon Saturday Morning Gardening MotherTalker Brothers and SistersKos they’re gonna pick up the whole of the UK right there. 😆
Plus, Moulitsas is half- Greek.
All he has to do is reinstate Pyrrho at the Parthenon and he’s good. Send Mary Scott O’Connor to liveblog from Ireland and they’re golden. LOL
Oh fiddlesticks! I meant to say ~
Send Mary Scott O’Connor to liveblog from Ireland, *My Sweet Leprechaun*, and they’re GOLDEN..

In the future, please put your recounted acid flashbacks behind a warning-cut, Sir.
Just stop. I’m trying to eat…

😆 Yah – and he dropped mine off on the ROOF!
With REIN DEER!
And somebody ate the oranges and cookies you left for Santa Claus….
I wonder if Ty Pennington delivers it with mouse ears intialed obbama-wear
Shit. We should all write him heart wringing letters about our toils and trouble.
A *friend* on facebook twittered (after the death of Qaddafi) “Obama sure is effective at killing bad guys” #just saying, to which I replied “By the time tomorrow is over, he will have parachuted out of AF1, mowed down Qaddafi before touching the ground, handed out candy to the children, adjusted his sunglasses and said something witty, and flown off into the sunset with his cape trailing behind him.”
Reading that link that lucid provided…
…Over and over she heard the same story: “I did everything I was supposed to! I worked hard, studied hard, got into college. Now I’m unemployed, with no prospects, and $50 to $80,000.00 in debt.” These were kids who played by the rules, and were rewarded by a future of constant harassment, of being told they were worthless deadbeats by agents of those very financial institutions who—after having spectacularly failed to play by the rules, and crashing the world economy as a result, were saved and coddled by the government in all the ways that ordinary Americans such as themselves, equally spectacularly, were not…
You’d better believe: this profile would fit a huge number of people I worked with at this latest dangerous, horrible, massive clusterfuck of a temp job. (For a “green” company, no less!) Not all, but a great many.
And they know what’s happening, I think. It’s just that stuck in that miserable hellhole, bullied and jammed together like pigs in a damn feedlot and treated like de facto “waste product”, you literally can’t afford to think it. You have to keep your eye on that check. (Which incidentally is always fucking late. Fuck you, Temp Agencies. Every last fucking one of you.)
They know. >:
Yes. Every Institution.
Clue Yet?
Someone Cue an Overton Window Conference already! 😆
Oh we got ourselves a gumbo –
a Mystified Gumbo –
Sippings and Wafers now…
Doesn’t it suck when a few determined DFH can reach into your coin-operated Eden and shut down your various National God HeadQuarters?
So lemme get this straight –
Burning assorted Palms and Bush? – > Okay.
Sterno? – > not so much.
A gagillion BTU’s of candles and incense INSIDE the Church with several hundred year old wooden pews Okay?
– But a little peasant campstove outside on the pavement – not so much.
😆
Yeh Yeh – Got it, London:
