OWS’s Excellent Adventure: Crapping Across America

Nov 17 2011 Published by under salt

“Excellent Adventure: Crapping Across America,” subtitle: “OWS Police Overtime Crushing Muni Budgets”

We can’t afford this.

When will the President speak up and exhort OWS to exercise their 1st amendment rights in such a way that the coffers of municipalities across America, already gravely strained, aren’t depleted to the point of affecting public safety / essential services for others - who aren’t having an Excellent Adventure: Crapping Across America, and might have a genuine emergency?

Whah?

That’s the plan?

Cloward & Piven?

Oh, yeah.  Right.

Remember:  Tea Party always paid their bills.  Always.  They always added to municipal coffers by paying for the proper permits, then cleaning up after themselves – not crapping in public.

And not a single arrest.   Zero.  Zip.  Nada.

Jussayin’.

Pure coincidence, I’m sure.

 1. Immune from any case of wrong-doing that, by all rights, should have been brought against him by the bank had he not said it on the floor of the Senate, Durbin calls for a run on Bank of America over the $5 fee his policies led to.

2. Geithner calls for a ‘living will’ so if banks collapse, they can collapse into the arms of the Federal Government.

3. Now, this morning, I hear on from a radio show caller – so I gotta source this – that should a bank collapse, DHS gets to be in the vaults when they open for the post-mortem.

WTF?

That farrrrout knittin’ grandma Frances Fox Piven must be rockin’ out on the prospects of this train of potential hell, huh?

Is THIS Where We’re Headed?

A search for Cloward, Piven, and a term I stumbled on, The Fordist Compromise, in Google produced this one, single, solitary magazine article, which, spookily, brings us full circle from The Ford Foundation (Fordist is for a reason.) in Indonesia, where Peter Geithner employed Obama’s mother, to today, where Ann Dunham’s son employs Peter Geithner’s son, Tim.
