I recall the bare shelves in Pocatello from the longshoremen's strike. Retailers placed little apology notes on the bare shelves. It happened right around the holidays, so some gifts that were on the "to buy" list were unavailable. Obviously, the folks in Hawaii are in a much more difficult position. Too many mouths to feed for the place to operate without a continuous flow of goods from the mainland.

Fun times ahead for the silly leftists as they attempt to eat each other and starve their brethen in Hawaii.

We should sell tickets to this and call it, “When the Left Ate Their Own!”

Classic sitcom!

Nope. #occupy had initial support.

Let them wear out their welcome, let everyone come to hate what they are doing, become sick of the stench, illuminated as to their vapidness or at least be bored/jaded with them.

When they have lost their popular support (such as it is) then use whatever force is needed to remove them.

I've been in five cities in five weeks and I swear these are the same people in each city following me around.
They all have that insane look in their eyes.

The lights are down in Germany
and Germany is closed to me
different somehow this time.
The airport's still, cold corridors
ring empty beats through hollow feet
that I find to be mine.
Different Germany.
History repeats somehow.
Different Germany.
Afraid to know you now.
And past my eyes with leathered gaze
stare clean-cut boys all dressed as men
in sharpened uniform.
Who turned the clock? (Moved on or back)
and what dark chill is gathering still
before the storm.
Out in the street a tableau double-glazed
with laughing girls whose fastened smiles
are clearly not meant for me.

Over Thanksgiving I asked a family member who works at the port of Seattle what the unions thought about the attempts to shut the ports, and he said they didn’t care because under their contracts such an event was considered a safety issue and they were not required to work. I think they still get paid, but I am not sure about the details of their contract. So, maybe they won’t take issue with the commies if they try to block the ports?

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor cafetier, barely kept him out da’ red,
Then one day he was servin’ up some food,
And into the store came a guy sayin’- “Dude,”

“Occupy ... free food ... follow me!”

Well the first thing you know Jed’s against the millionaires,
Kinfolk said “Jed, stay away from there.”
Said “Makin’ money is a-where you ought to be”
But he loaded up his pack, and moved to Zucotti.

[Park, that is ... smelly fools ... dumpin’ on cars]

With a real government in control, the Department of Homeland Security would consider this a threat to National Security.

Obama is trying his hardest.
he helped orchestrate it in Kenya for his cousin Odinga, and he is making sure he can spark it here should he lose his re-election bid in ‘12.

The longshoremen who make their living from the flow of goods through ports, of course, will stand around ringing their hands, not knowing what to do./s

Thank you for #89. A bit scary.

When you get older you see many things repeating.
I have never seen that bit you posted.
