OWS

  

As many of you know, I have had the pleasure of hanging out with the Occupy Wall Street folk.  I have to admit, I was a bit shocked at how much we had in common.  Turns out that OWS does not like the bank bailouts; Funny neither did most of the Tea Party.  My theory is that the members of OWS have been stoned for the past few years after the bailout and are just now sobering up because mom and dad no longer have extra cash to give to junior.  Maybe next we’ll have to bailout the suburban drug dealers since junior won’t be able to get his allowance from daddy and buy drugs. 

I’m thinking maybe the Occupy’s could take a few lessons from the Tea Party.  For example and maybe the biggest tip is to set a start and end time.  As of right now Occupy has no way out and will be sleeping on the street forever.  You have to worry about people that want to sleep on a city street; I don’t think even the homeless want to be there.  The other lesson OWS could learn is to have a clear message, I know this is difficult for potheads coming down from a high.  Remember, this is the same high that made them not only miss TARP but also got Obama elected.  The Tea Party was very clear, less spending and smaller government or we vote you out.  Here is my best idea of a list of demands from OWS.

1.       Forgive all student loans

2.       Houses for everyone

3.       End global warming

4.       Cash for everyone

5.       Unions everywhere

6.       Plastic drums for everyone

7.       Starbucks vente Latte’s

8.       Legalized drugs (because sometime Starbucks just isn’t enough)

9.        Memorial Steve Jobs I-phones for all (The Revolution must be tweeted)

10.   Gladly pay you Tuesday for a cheeseburger today

I do love the fact that these people are out protesting capitalism while drinking their Starbucks, tweeting on their I phone while wearing a Guy Fawkes mask that was featured in a Warner Brothers movie and yes, Warner Brothers is getting a cut.  Not to mention that they sit and listen to Michael Moore who is usually trying to sell his latest book or movie that he shot with a non union crew.

Although the Tea Party and OWS may have similar ideas they are actually miles apart.  I’m reminded of the old anti-drug commercial, “This is your brain, and this is your brain on drugs.” This is the Tea Party this is the Tea Party on Drugs.

A little OWS photo fun
