Well, Blue Fairy Bill Clinton finally did show up yesterday to make a quick pit stop in Wisconsin but whatever few words he said there were completely overshadowed by the high PRAISE he gave to Mitt Romney for having had a STERLING business career. Way to completely UNDERMINE the Obama campaign message about Romney being a "vulture" capitalist. Of course, the DUmmies are up in arms about Blue Fairy Bill's endorsement of Romney's qualifications as you can see in this THREAD, "Bill Clinton has been a real morale buster today..." So let us now watch the DUmmies get bummed...

Help us, Blue Fairy! Please help us! Only you can help us in the Wisconsin recall election, Blue Fairy! Please come to Wisconsin! Please come and save us, Blue Fairy!Such is the attitude of the DUmmies acting like that kid robot in the movie AI begging for help from the Blue Fairy. Only in this case, their Blue Fairy is one Bill Clinton and the DUmmies are perplexed why he doesn't show up in Wisconsin and save the day for them. If you thought David in AI was pathetic begging for help from the Blue Fairy thousands of feet...

DNC Spinmeistress Debtie Wassername Shills DNC SpokesDuNCe Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been using weasel words to speak about the upcoming Wisconsin recall election. Wasserman Schultz (apparently her hyphen is broken) is in a Dem dilemma. On the one hand, Debbie's got to put on a happy face about their chances in Wisconsin and the glorious nationwide victory that that will portend for November. On the other hand, privately, Debbie knows the Democrats are losing Wisconsin and are in big trouble for November. So now when she has to speak about the significance of the Wisconsin recall election, Wasserman is trying...

"Yeah, I'm lookin' at YOU!" If you oppose President Obamas' re-election, you must be a racist! There can be no other explanation! "Huh?" you say. "I don't oppose him because of his race; I oppose him because of his ideology and his incompetence." Nope! Don't believe it! You hate our President because you can't stand having a Black Man in the White House! When in doubt, play the Race Card. That is the Democrat fall-back option. Witness this THREAD from DUmmie Logical (sic), "Face it, Most of them HATE Obama being a smart, good looking, successful and articulate Black Man!"...

They were hoping for this . . . They ended up with this . . . A guy in a Guy Fawkes mask. And that, for about six weeks last fall. The 1% are trembling in their custom-made gecko-skin boots. This was the time that the Occupy movement was supposed to reenergize itself and sweep across the country in a massive wave of revolutionary fervor. The Prog Spring of 2012. Wha' hoppen? Kinda fell flat, didn't it? Oh sure, you still have Know-it-all Nadin Brzezinski, Girl Reporter, sniffing out stories at her local OWS GA. You still have Trust Fund...

Newsweek featured Barack Obama on the cover with a rainbow halo over his head with the title: "First Gay President." And now the DUmmies are angry because of the effect that cover will have on the election this year. I don't think Tina Brown was doing The One any favors when she chose that Newsweek cover. My thought is that the Newsweek folks and many other media liberals live in an insulated bubble which prevents them from seeing the damage that cover can do to the Bamster. However, many DUmmies are worried about this as well as ANGRY at...

Elizabeth Warren, the Democrat candidate for Senate in Massachusetts, is the darling of DUmmieland. The men think she's a MILHFW (Mother I'd Like to Have a Frappucino With). The women want to have her baby. In DUmmieland, she is Queen Elizabeth. Recently, though, in the real world, some disturbing facts have come out about Elizabeth Warren. Turns out Liz listed herself as a "Native American" in her bio as a professor. Checking the "Native American" box gave her "minority status," don't ya know. And Lizzie would talk about her grandfather who had "high cheekbones," which apparently is proof of...

This has not been a good week for Barack Obama. The One kicked off his re-election campaign--not that he has ever STOPPED campaigning--Obamassiah kicked off his re-election campaign the other day, and half the crowd in the stadium came disguised as empty seats. The Obama campaign rolled out an ad called "The Life of Julia," which portrays women as lifelong dependents on the federal government, but "Julia" was met with universal mockery. Then yesterday BO did manage to win the WV Dem primary, but 40% of the vote went to a federal inmate named Keith Judd. Enthusiasm gap, anyone?...

Oh the horror! The absolute HORROR!!! A DUmmie goes into a Wendy's and what should be playing on the big screen TV but Fox News. His tiny brain must suffer from the "infection." Even worse, DUmmie peace13 knows that other customers are being exposed to information not approved by the liberal party line spouted by the other networks as you can see in this THREAD, "Local Wendy's just installed a big screen TV!" So let us know watch the DUmmie outrage over contrary political views being permitted in a public restaurant in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your...

Did the world seem to be, well, a better place when you woke up this morning? Was the sun shining a little more brightly? Were the birds singing more sweetly? Is there a new sense of justice and fairness and equality in the air you breathe today? Yes? Yes, I know there is. Why? Because yesterday was MAY DAY 2012, THE DAY WHEN EVERYTHING FINALLY CHANGED (v. 47.2). MAY DAY! MAY DAY! The day so highly anticipated, the premier event of the Prog Spring of 2012, is now history. Indeed, it MADE history, that is how significant it is....

I'mmmmm BAAAAAAAACK!!! I had a new cast put on my hand last week that allowed three free fingers on my right hand. After a few days of getting used to it, I can now do a sort of Django Rhinehart method of typing. Complete cast comes off on June 4 and hopefully my pinkie won't be sticking out at an odd angle.Anyway, the DUmmies do not disappoint in their idiocy. Right now they are gripping about the lousy economy as you can see in this THREAD, "I realized tonight that America's 99% are f*cked for years to come." Excuse...

Prog Spring of 2012 continues. Today we meet OccuPoet Misty Rowan of Minneapolis, who will grace us with one of her poems. Misty came to my attention via this THREAD in DUmmieland, "Our Amazing Occupy Poet!" I watched the video, and yes, I was amazed . . . at what passes for poetry with the OWSies and the DUmmies. And seeing Misty of Minneapolis, I was reminded of Ted of New York. You know, Trust Fund Ted? Ted Hall, Tedward, Edward Twitchell Hall III, Flea-bagger Ted, Our Favorite OWSie. Remember when we introduced you to Ted "Help us now!"...

Ah, spring! The trees are greening up like so many broccoli sprouts across the landscape. The daffodils and daisies and dandelions are dotting the lawns of many a foreclosed home. Young men's hearts turn to thoughts of beer. And the Cubs are in last place. Yes, spring is in the air (see the pollen and mold counts). Spring. It's a magical season. The earth comes to life, and we do with it. So it is with the young progressives. Their hearts turn to thoughts of occupying places. And so it is that after the long winter of their packed-up...

How's your PIRG? What, you don't know what a PIRG is?? Well, to be honest with you, I didn't know what a PIRG was, either--until I read a recent DUmmieland thread. But the DUmmies sure seemed to know what a PIRG was! They would mention the term all over the thread and never bother to explain it, since of course all progressives would know what it meant. But me, being a regressive oppressor--I had never heard the term before. So I looked it up. Apparently, it stands for "Public Interest Research Group," which is a fancy way of saying...

One of the enduring mysteries of life is the DUmmies' infatuation with Europe. I mean, disincentivizing tax rates, oppressive political correctness, moral decline, secularization--no, wait, it's no mystery at all! That's exactly what the DUmmies WANT! But what IS an enduring mystery is why the DUmmies don't just move there. Europe is everything they long for and desire. So why don't they go? Is it the distance? I'm told they make airplanes now that will get you across the ocean in a matter of hours. Is it the language? I personally offer to teach Swedish for FREE to any...

No, I'm kidding. April Fools. Keefie is still fired. Oh, haven't you heard? Keith Olbermann was fired AGAIN, this time by Current TV, Algore's little network that nobody watches. And Keef now is vowing to take Algore to court. And so I'm NOT kidding about the DUmmies being torn. I mean, Olbie vs. Algore? What's a progressive to do? Multiple threads on this at the DUmp, more people commenting than probably watched his show. We'll start with this THREAD, "Gored: Olbermann Out at Current," and take it from there. So let us keep Current with KO and his fans...

As this week went along, it became increasing clear that the Supreme Court may very well end up ruling that Obamacare, AKA the ACA (Affordable Care Act), is unconstitutional. Where in the Constitution is the federal government given the power to FORCE citizens to buy a certain good or service? So it looks like Obamacare's days may be numbered. The DUmmies are depressed, right? WRONG! Oh, some of them see this as a defeat, yes. But many of them are OVERJOYED! Why? Because this will now pave the way for the DUmmies' ultimate dream plan, namely, UNIVERSAL SINGLE-PAYER HEALTHCARE...

Once again, the DUmmies have crawled out on a limb with their preconceived script and as usual it is being sawed off behind them by the TRUTH. In the case of the DUmmies, they think it is a changing "narrative." See, in the original DUmmie fiction script, angry "white hispanic," George Zimmerman gunned down in cold blood innocent fresh-faced youngster Trayvon Martin with absolutely NO provocation. Unfortunately for the DUmmie script, facts have now crept in and we found out that Trayvon was suspended from school three times in the past year including at the time he was shot....

The best thing about if the Supreme Court decision going the way I hope it does on ObamaCare is that it will cause the DUmmies to go BERSERK. This means the DUmmies will become even FUnnier than they normally are. My best guess is the the Supreme Court will rule that the mandate is unconstitutional but not take a stand on the rest of it. However, if that happens, how does ObamaCare even hold up since there would be no funds to pay for it? Perhaps Obama could ask Congress to pass a tax for the ObamaCare funds but...

Notice how liberals accuse conservatives of being "anti-science." Yet who is the MOST anti-science President of them all? None other than Barack Hussein Obama who continues to hold out the bizarre hope that windmills, solar energy, and pond scum can supplant petroleum as an energy source. This is especially laughable now that new technology is able to produce oil from the Alberta Oil Sands and shale deposits like the Green River Formation out West which has enough proven reserves to supply us with our energy needs for at least the next three hundred years. As to what is currently...

Did you hear the SHOCKING thing that Rush Limbaugh said? No, I'm not talking about his comments on Georgetown Fluke who supposedly has so much sex that she can't afford the nine bucks a month it would cost her to get birth control pills from Walmart. I am referring to the OVERLOOKED comments that Rush made this week on the subject of oil. If you want to know what will determine the outcome of this election it will be the economy, stupid, and most specifically about the UNNECESSARY rise in the price of gasoline due to Obama's idiotic policies...

Notice how the DUmmies have started mocking religious beliefs with increasing fervor recently in response to the Catholic Church resistance to ObamaCare mandating abortion services? Well, time now to look at the belief system of many DUmmies, namely the fervent devotion to astrology (and other hocus pocus) that many of them devoutly believe in. An example is this DUmmie THREAD, with the laughable title of "Let's collect and report our Neptune/Chiron/Pisces experiences this week here." Yes, such a collection of nonsense fits right in with the DUmmie belief system. And what have you got against Uranus? Never mind. You...

The DUmmies are always eager to replenish their ranks with young skulls full of mush, and it looks like they have found one in the person of teenage DUmmie Redstate Bluegirl. DUmmie Redstate Bluegirl is 15 years old, and she recently joined the denizens of the DUmp. In just one week and 128 posts, Redstate Bluegirl has become thoroughly ADDICTED. The Bluegirl has been HOOKED! So ecstatic is she about being part of the Reality-Based Community®, she whoops and hollers, cheerily exclaiming, in this THREAD, "This is...FUN!" DUmmie Redstate Bluegirl probably thinks dermabrasion for her zits is fun, too....

What does Barry do when he's not out golfing? We now find out: He's hanging out on DU! Hey, it could happen. Just see this THREAD, "President Obama, a DU member?" So let us now do as Dear Reader does, which is go to DUmmieland, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, is in the [Barackets]: President Obama, a DU member? [He'd fit right in!] According to James Fallows in The Atlantic Magazine: "Obama is more likely to be spending time with papers or a book, or even to be online—prowling through the...

Let me begin this DUFU edition with a blatant self-plug but, as I shall demonstrate, it actually does have to do with the DUFUs. First the blatant plug: My FIRST Kindle article, HOW TO EARN MONEY AT NASCAR RACES, is now available online. It is about how NASCAR fans can earn money while scoring cheap tickets at the NASCAR races. Based on my experiences of following the NASCAR circuit for two full seasons and parts of several more. As I mentioned in the article, I tested out one of the techniques provided in the article just a few weeks...

There is a DUFU edition in the very near future that I am going to have an absolute BLAST writing. It is when Obama is forced to REVERSE his decision to force Catholic hospitals and other institutions to provide contraceptive services via ObamaCare. Perhaps this regime thought they were being "reasonable" when they gave these institutions an extra year to fall into lockstep with their mandate. I am sure they never expected this MASSIVE reaction against this by the Catholics. Right now I'm positive the Bamster is cursing out his advisors (Axelrod? Sibelius? Jarret?) for putting him in a...

The Chinese have an ancient saying: "Be careful of what you wish for because you might get it." Well, Obama, the Democrats, and the DUmmies wished for Obamacare and now that they got it, they are bummed out over it. Any wonder that the Obama regime facilitated ObamaCare going to the Supreme Court for a ruling on its constitutionality this Spring? They are probably hoping that the high court tosses it upon the ash heap of history so they won't be burdened by having to defend it for the November election. The DUmmies have noticed that Obama barely mentioned...

Ah, the Summer of '05! William Rivers Pitt was the Pied Piper of DUmmieland, prolix prog blogger supreme, leading an army of psychophants enthralled with the Pitt and the Ponderous. True, a chink had emerged in his armor through the Andyscam scandal, but Pied Piper Pitt had recovered nicely and was back to leading the anti-Bush hatefest at the DUmp. Yes, it was a young, vigorous, 33-year-old William Rivers Pitt back then, a rising star in the ranks of the barking moonbats. And William had his eye set on higher things still: talking headness, punditry, a paid position on...

Kneel before Barack! Bow to Obama! Our President must be treated with the UTMOST respect at all times! Now say you are a governor of a state and you come out to greet the President at the airport, even though he is a member of the other party and his policies are hurting your state, and you meet him on the tarmac, but then you get into a bit of a heated back-and-forth with him, and in the course of the argument you DARE to raise your finger toward him for a moment, and a photographer with a zoom...

QUICK! What is the name of your Congressman? If you are reader of the DUmmie FUnnies, it probably means you are more politically aware than the average person so most of you know the answer to that question. However, let me make it even tougher for you...What is the name of one of your incumbent's announced opponents? Not so easy but I figure a fraction of you out there also know the answer to that so allow me up ramp up the difficulty of this quiz.... What is the name of the campaign manager of the opponent of your...

Did you know that we have Special Forces soldiers dying in Syria right now? No? Well, if you haven't heard that, you must not have spoken to Nadin Brzezinski, wanna-be Woodward & Bernstein for the East County Magazine, and omniscient sage of the DUmp. She enlightens all of her minions, who aren't buying her story about an Occupy San Diego chef-turned KIA Spec Op soldier, in the following thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002179652 SOLDIER’S FACEBOOK POST RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT U.S. SPECIAL FORCES IN SYRIA That’s where Nadin Brzenstein goes for her deep cover, well-placed sources: Facebook. Because if it’s posted on Facebook, it’s...

Above we see DUmmiettes undergroundpanther, kpete, and Sarah Ibarruri working on their posts--trying of course to make it into the DUmmie FUnnies. And it worked! Thursday it was undergroundpanther with "Why I hate the rich..." Yesterday it was kpete with "Why Not Rob The Rich?" And now today it's Sarah Ibarruri with this THREAD, "Every day I marvel at how poor and middle class Republicans vote against their self-interests." The Three Little Progs and their posts: It's a trifecta of class warfare! So let us now hear from Sarah Ibuprofen and her fellow travelers, in Bolshevik Red, while the...

Class warfare has been the calling card for the Democrats for many a decade. And we see it in full flower over in DUmmieland. Yesterday we heard from DUmmie undergroundpanther, on why she hates the rich. Today we hear from another of the angry DUmmie womyn, DUmmie kpete, on why we ought to rob the rich. It's here in this THREAD, "Why Not Rob The Rich?" So let us now visit the den of the robber barrens, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson--looking forward to the End of an Error one year...

DUmmieland is a hate site. We've been documenting that here at the DUmmie FUnnies for over seven years. And right at the top of the list (tied for first with hatred of Christians and hatred of Rethuglicans) is hatred of the rich. Witness this THREAD by DUmmie undergroundpanther, "Why I hate the rich..." DUmmie undergroundpanther HATES the rich, and she is envious of them. So let us now feel the hate of the Left, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, rich with comedy GOLD mined from the Democrat Underground, is in the...

On Friday President Obama unveiled a plan to shrink the size of the federal government. Oh, you didn't know that Mr. Obama was a small-government conservative? Neither did I. But then, this is an election year, isn't it? You see, in reality, Obozo is the Biggest Big-Government Debtocrat of All Time. But he's got to PORTRAY himself as a cost-cutting, tax-cutting, bin-Laden-killing, Mr. Efficiency, Protector-of-the-Middle-Class conservative, in order to get re-elected. Thus the charade on Friday. What Dear Reader proposed on Friday is eliminating the Commerce Department. That's right. Not the unconstitutional, budget-draining, debt-increasing, wealth-redistributing departments of a) Education,...

I'm baaaaaack from my trip to Venezuela. We'll get into this DUFU in a moment but first an announcement: My notorious cousin Chile, who has a long string of wives, ex-wives, girlfriends, and children spread all over the Andes is thinking about spreading his love even further by considering whether to run for the post of Venezuelan Minister of Tourism this year IF a new government is voted into power this October during their presidential election. Of course, Minister of Tourism is not an elective post but Chile wants whoever is elected as the NEW president of Venezuela to...

President Obama's approval ratings are riding high . . . in Canada. Our neighbors to the north view Mr. Obama favorably, as one who is moving backwards redneck Amurikkka along, slowly but surely, on the road to Eurosocialist Nirvana. This is the view of Canadian DUmmie DeathToTheOil, here in this THREAD, "To us non-Americans, Obama is Doing a Pretty Good Job!" Now of course to many of the American DUmmies, Obama is not moving anywhere near fast enough. To them, he's just another centrist corporate stooge. But Canadian DUmmie DeathToTheOil wants to reassure the Americans to stand by their...

Liberal radio hosts Tavis Smiley and Cornel West had liberal entertainer Harry Belafonte on their show the other day, and in the interview, Belafonte ripped into President Obama. However, THAT portion of the interview conveniently was CUT when the show went out for distribution. The producer later said that it was for time purposes and that that part of the interview was the least interesting part, since you could hear criticisms of Obama on Fox News any day. Hmmm. . . . A big-name lefty like Belafonte, on a left-wing radio show, slamming Obama for not being leftist enough,...

The finalists are all standing on the stage, holding hands, smiling--though nervous--their pearly whites shining through red-glossed lips. The suspense is building. At last it's time to crown the winner. It's come down to this. . . . "And the winner of DUmmie of the Year for 2011 is . . . Miss Fallout Shelter, NADIN BRZEZINSKI!" The crowd cheers! The sash is draped over Nadin's siza--over Nadin. She's reachiing for the crown hat. She begins her victorious walk up the runway. Hit it, Bert Parks! And let's all sing along! HERE SHE IS, OUR MISS DUMMIELANDTune: "There She...

Welcome to the DUmmieland holiday party! Head DUmmie Skinner is hosting the shindig at his place, along with his sidekicks EarlG and Elad. Now that DU3 has hit the big time, with lots of ad revenue and a subsidy from the Democrat Party, $kimmer can afford to have a FANCY party--notice the chocolate fountain on the buffet table, along with the ice sculpture of Alan Grayson. And so Skinner and the boys have broken out the fancy DUds for tonight, as opposed to what they usually wear: Still, most of the guests here have come in their normal attire:...

LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!! How many times have we heard that over the past 7+ years that we have been monitoring DUmmieland? Many! We have planted plenty of moles in the DUmp to egg the DUmmies on and to expose their nuttiness. Well, the New DUmmieland ain't puttin' up with it anymore! With characteristic panache and aplomb, Assistant Head DUmmie EarlG, aka DUAC Earl, has rolled out a brand-new Troll Patrol to catch and dispatch the nasty intruders. He's calling it the "MIR Team," the "Malicious Intruder Removal Team." I call it the "MIR Spaced-out Station," in other words, a...

New Kook or Kook Klassic? That is the debate going on this week amongst the denizens of the DUmp. "New Kook" is DU3, $kimmer's new moneymaker. "Kook Klassic" is DU2, the DUmmieland so many have come to know and love. Head DUmmie Skinner pulled the switchover this past weekend, but some of the children have refused to make the move and are staying behind in the old, mostly vacated house. Some have even fled the premises altogether and headed for Greener pastures (e.g., Left Underground). This refusal to move is troubling. Sure, $kimmer has sold his soul for a...

In yesterday's DUFU, we showed you how--suddenly, over the weekend--Head DUmmie Skinner unveiled the new and improved DU3, with its increased ad space (and thus harder-to-read format, unless you pay extra for the "classic" look) and its "hosts" and "juries" and heavyhanded rules. This move did not sit too well, to say the least, with a number of the longtime DUmmies. But what will they do? Will they just sit outside and grumble and complain? Will they, after a suitable pout, reluctantly come inside and be good little DUmmies? Or will they finally have had enough and go elsewhere?...

It's a new day in DUmmieland! Indeed, it's a whole new DUmmieland! Head DUmmie Skinner unveiled the new and improved DU3 over the weekend. A new look, new forums, new format--and, it looks like, more room for new advertising. $kimmer knows where his bread is buttered. But it's DU3, for gosh sakes, it's new and improved, and you people better just sit back and enjoy it! So summarily over the weekend Landlord Skinner told the inmates they had to vacate DU2 and move over to DU3. Reactions of glee and joy, right, like the Israelites crossing the Jordan and...

Question: Which president's administration has done more to attack legal medicinal marijuana? The EVIL George Bush or the Beloved Barack Obama? Guess what? Even though the Bush Administration wasn't too keen on legalized medicinal marijuana, they pretty much left it alone. Meanwhile the Obama Regime is actively attempting to drive the current medical marijuana dispensaries OUT of business via the IRS declaring that such businesses can NOT declare deductions for their business expenses. This means if such a dispensary has a gross income of a million dollars and expenses of $900,000 they would be taxed on the full million,...

DUmmie of the Year favorite nadinbrzezinski, aka Know-it-all Nadin, is doing everying she can to take home the coveted trophy. What a year she's a had! And now she's finishing with a flourish! How, you ask? Nadin Brzezinski, Girl Reporter! Yes, our gal Nads has been running all over San Diego, working her little pencil to the nub, getting the inside scoop on Occupy San Diego. Snapping pictures, filing reports, "Nadin Abbott" (her married name) has been posting articles about the Occupy protest for some online community-volunteer website. So Nadin now fancies herself an intrepid, tireless, investigative journalist, sniffing...

"Cenk's Back" and Grayson's on him! Yes, that's the news that's rocking the political talk world today. Cenk Uygur is BACK! Back on TV, back in your living room, where he belongs. And--now hold on to your hat--Alan Grayson is slated to be his first guest, TONIGHT! Wow! Is this exciting or what? Your genial TV talk host, Cenk "The Young Turk" Uygur, has been absent from the cable airwaves, lo, these past many months, after an all-too-brief run on MSNBC, where, somehow, he was not able to garner the ratings he so richly deserves. I think Diebold must...

Remember that scene from "Forbidden Planet" when the Monster from the ID was coming after Leslie Neilsen, Anne Francis, and Morbius? Neilsen screamed at Robbie the Robot to kill the Monster. Well, Robbie was programmed to always obey an order but was also programmed never to kill a person. Since the Monster was from the Id of Morbius, Robbie's circuits went haywire, rendering him useless. The same sort of thing has happened at DUmmieland when confronted with information that the DOJ LIED in their February letter to Congress about their "Fast & Furious" program that allowed a couple of...

DUmmie nadinbrzezinski is my choice for DUmmie of the Year. There, I've said it. I'm committed. The Rubik's Cube has been crossed. I will ride this horse till the cows come home and reach their tipping point. Now I know many people have an animus against Know-it-all Nadin. True, she is condescending, annoying, and paranoid, and she talks out her ass half the time. (The other half, she merely mangles what she finds on the google.) But these are the very qualities--the very qualities, I say!--that make her so amusing and so DOTY-worthy. So I urge you: VOTE NADIN....

OCCUPY EVERYTHING! ANNOY EVERYONE! That seems to be the motto of the OWSies. And the DUmmies are right with them, at least in spirit, even if the only thing they're occupying is Mom's basement. So this past Friday, "Black Friday," the OWSies of San Diego decided to "flash mob" Wal-Mart. Load up lots of shopping carts, move to the check-out lines, shout out some DUmb manifesto, then leave the carts there and walk out the store. Turn "Black Friday" into "Block Friday": Block people from checking out. Really effective protest there, OWSies. You are breaking the back of the...
