They fight redistributive schemes, but the less contextually aware among them still do silly things like buy up oceanfront property and build a castle that blocks the view that everyone else had been enjoying up until then.

1. We may have already seen it.

I was thinking about Blumburg and Gingrich telling the protesters to go get a job.
That is the same thing that the french protesters were asking for...bread enough to eat and a job is that for many people
I am sure that Marie thought she was saying something clever in that, but was unable to see how it could piss people off

2. As I was taught, she meant well. Giving what she had on hand. It was as out of touch as Bush 1 swipi

4. I thought the story of Gingrich making 1.7 million from Freddie would have had more legs

but it was squashed pretty quickly.

3. What "Media" Is Egging This On, Pray Tell?

No Corporate Media Mogul is paying any attention to the issues, aside from the purported "violence" by Occupiers and righteous scolding by the 1%ers.

The People are not Media--they are the Message!
