The last week brought us a striking contrast that tells us much about the current debate over the direction of this country.
On one hand were the perpetually aggrieved protestors of Occupy Wall Street. While much of the media, desperate to find a liberal counterpart to the Tea Party (remember coverage of the state-house takeover in Wisconsin?), tried to pretend that this was an organic and leaderless uprising by middle America, the reality was that most of the demonstrators were the same motley crew that regularly shows up to demonstrate against the World Bank or G8 meetings, their ranks bolstered by union activists, MoveOn.org, and the Obama front group Organizing for America — not to mention the usual collection of filthy-rich movie stars who flew in on private jets and then climbed into waiting limousines to show up to denounce the filthy rich.
But while Roseanne Barr was suggesting that the rich should be beheaded and demonstrators were making such reasonable demands as the forgiveness of all debt, much of the rest of the world was mourning the death of Steve Jobs, the filthy-rich businessman who was responsible for all those iPhones and iPads that the iPod-sporting protestors used to organize their demonstrations.
...
the next time someone suggests that what we need is more taxes, more regulation, more class warfare, more government programs, we should instead suggest that what we really need are policies that encourages a poor boy from San Francisco to become rich and thereby make the rest of us a little richer as well.

All you need to know about the Occupy Wall Street geniuses:
Protester James Robinson, 36, of Chicago, vowed, “I’m staying here till I get a job.”
In a show of solidarity, I’m going to play golf until a client calls with a new assignment.

Employers: do you REALLY want to hire anybody under 30?
Good grief. I kept getting the “auto preview” prompt so I clicked “post” five or six times. I’m getting more technologically illiterate each day.
I think it’s a bug in the system
