One bubble washes the other; Wall Street gets gov’t backed bail-outs, then kids with easy gov’t back financing take to the streets, call for more gov’t control of Wall Street.

AND their schools —who benefit by suckering kids into expensive but worthless liberal arts degrees —HELP them stay in the streets.

It’s a natural synergy, there.

I guess they just think that everyone is support of their loser movement to create future homeless people? Maybe now they will have classes teaching people how to live in parks, spout incoherent messages and demand handouts?

This is the over the top BS that is typical of the left-wing fascists in our country. These people need to start being put in their place.

We should stop calling this protest "Occupy Seattle".

Obama has been using these to drum up sympathy for his cause, and it's time to make him own them.

Start calling them what they really are:

Obamaville

Spread the meme....

You can be damn sure that these College Professors will not point out that it is Big Education that sold these students on non-dischargable student loans far in excess of the value of the education colleges provide.

We don’t need to Occupy Wall Street! We need to Occupy the Administration Builidng at every college in the US.

And you can be damn sure when Democrats rail against corporations, they will not point out that it is lobbyists, cronies and contributors who walk away with all the bail-outs, free loans and subidies, and who turn out to be Too Big To Fail.

We don’t need to Occupy Wall Street! We need to Occupy K Street!

“Wasting away, again, in Obamaville”
“Looking for my lost wages and job”

Any more suggestions?

What leads me to think most of those people had degrees in Womyns, Gay/transgendered, Minority studies, sociology, or something even less worthless.

That should be something even less worthwhile.

I was trying to figure out how to match the tune with the right number of syllables:

"Wasting away again, in [?] Obamaville."

There's 5 syllables in "Margaritaville", so we need one more. But, Youtube is a great help. There are a number already there:

Obamaville
GEORGE BUSH SINGS OBAMAVILLE PARODY SPOOF
Wasting Away in Obamaville

I haven't listened to any of them. I can't play audio at the moment.

How about …

"Wasting away, again, in *his* Obamaville" ?
