Its amazing how much positive press the occupy movement got. Funny you should say that - just this morning I was laughing at a lib on a local newspaper forum who whines about how little press they get and it is all so derogatory. It was just too funny.
Amazingly, I didn't claim he was amazing in his total blindness :)

If “diversity” was ever taken off the list, for petes sake put it back on.
Also climate change.

My nomination is the word “Implode”, nothing explodes any more, everything has to implode.
Even posters of articles at F.R. see fit to abuse the word in their parenthetical editorializing with titles.

Historic. That’s way overused.

“and” and “the” - definitely among the overused (see this very sentence!)
To: Sub-Driver
I always thought “infest” was a more appropriate term than “occupy” for the OWS folks, anyway.

Saw a sign on a tavern in rural Iowa that read “Occupy this Bar” ;-)

” . . . it is what it is.”
I agree about that one. Every time I hear somebody say that, I want to yell at them, “No, it is what it ISN’T,” just to be contrary.
