Done With The Silly for Today.
Got slammed back, and rightfully so.
NY, Washington protesters brave rare early snow
NEW YORK — Anti-Wall Street protesters hunkered down at encampments in New York and Washington Saturday as they faced their first winter weather test, with a rare early snowstorm hitting the US east coast.
“Snow, what snow? I’ve got a country to worry about,” read a sign at New York’s Zuccotti Park held by a girl as snow and sleet pelted downtown Manhattan, where demonstrators have gathered to protest and call for financial reform since September 17.
Don Surber again swings the reality hammer.
Brave? No, the 99 twerps are camping out. The heroes and heroines in Afghanistan are the ones who are braving the snow — and the bombs — and the cold — and the loneliness.
I never forget those serving, but Don’s juxtaposition does shift the focus where it is needed well.
Disgust is not quite strong enough.

Yeah really.
Seems like those clowns from OWS have taken attention from the real heroes of American society like those who are still engaged in a war that the American public has largely forgotten about.
No thanks to the goddamn news media on that one. No thanks at all.

Fred: that’s part of the idea. Create new heroes. Give them the appearance of being in danger (a la Olsen), breaking a few eggs, or heads, to validate the danger. Give the insipid college kids and recent grads someone their own age that they can look to for leadership, for giving respect, since they’ve been taught to consider their peers in the service as somewhat less human.
Hope they freeze their stupid, non-outdoor living butts off.
