The tax-free income they make on their $2.37 billion endowment (doubly subsidized by the government via tax breaks to the donors) isn't enough.

It will go well with their “Gay, Lesbian, and Transgendered Studies” curriculum and be just about as useful.

OWS is so three months ago. It was inevitable that when the weather turned cold, and the general public witnessed no real significant change in society from this movement, interest would die down.

I guess it did make some shovel-ready jobs available for local sanitation departments.

Alright class, here are some of things you will learn this semester

(1) How to defecate on public and private property with special attention given how to do it on a police vehicle
(2) How to remain filthy every day and draw as much lice and disease to yourself as is possible
(3) How to bang on a drum for hours on end. This should be no problem because like infants amused by simple toys, your brains are empty enough to be amused by constant loud noise
(4) How to babble incoherently when asked questions by media types. Given the emptiness of your noggins, again like banging on a drum, this should be no problem
(5) How to physically and verbally attack media members when they ask you simple questions like what are you protesting. Questions like that are simply too difficult for you to understand, and since many of you are liberal arts majors, logic and reason aren't your strong points. So lashing out and screaming profanities at newspeople are the only things your mind can comprehend.
(6)How to sexually attack women. Well, they're there, and they are liberal chicks who are just expressing their right to be free, sexually liberated human beings i.e. sluts, why not jump on their bones at every opportunity? Forget about stds and pregnancies. There are wonder drugs created by er uh...evil, drug companies to cure the diseases. And there's abortion for unwanted pregnancies. Besides, no one can inflict morality on you. Only you can inflict your morality on others.
(7) How to carry signs written by others about evil corporations, the one percent who own all the wealth, and the necessity to destroy free-market capitalism and institute a sharing and caring kind of economy i.e. socialism i.e slavery.
(8)How to more and better drugs. You probably won't need much instruction in this area, because since most of you are lib arts majors or high-school dropouts, you're pretty much on drugs all the time.
(9)How to repeat what's told to you in unison with other zombies er protesters. This technique, know as the human mic, is so obnoxious a technique, they're going to use it at the Dem convention in 2012. Obama will throw out TOTUS and substitute the human mic for it. The media will love it.
(10)How to scream about your "rights" being violated when ordered to leave the park and calling the police names like fascist pigs and so on. Assaulting the police is also a good option. Don't worry about denying the right to use a public facility to other members of the public. They're not as high-minded, righteous, and moral as you are, and therefore are lesser human beings who have no rights. We don't even know if we should call them human beings. Conservatives, ptooey, arggh.

There will be more lessons later on in the term. Right now the professor has to attend a seminar where destroying the evil Israeli state will be the main topic along with condemning the imperialist, corporation-controlled U.S. for all the sins of mankind since the dawn of civilization. Yes class, even before the U.S. became a country, it was guilty. How that can be will be explained later on during the term. But first, let's have some grass, bring on those hippie chicks. Er, sorry, I thought I was back in the sixties.
