Police in Oakland are clashing (literally) with thuggish “Occupiers” who once again took to the streets after they were forced to leave today, their camp dismantled. Watch live video here of events. Trust me when I say “Occupiers” across the country are standing in “solidarity” with these morons. They WANT something bad to happen so they can scream to the top of their lungs how eeevil and brutal the police are.
I was on Twitter tonight conversing with friends about the whole craptastic Occupy Wall Street movement and how it’s turned into your standard garden variety grab bag of liberal whines & gripes. The pretense is that it’s about “the economy” and “corporate greed” but in reality you could take your pick of any number of far left complaints about “the system” (aka: conservatives/Republicans). Example: Condi Rice is in Charlotte tonight for a speaking engagement at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center and the Occupy Charlotte Twitter account tweeted a message for people to join them in protesting “war criminal” Condi and demanding her arrest, in part, because, “”The Iraq War is major reason for this economic mess!” It’s like playing “Six Degrees to the Sucky Economy.”

I was just a wee bit preoccupied last night and neglected to post the link to the radio interview I did this week on FTR Radio with That’s What She Said‘s Lori Ziganto and Jenn Taylor, otherwise known as “@Snarkandboobs” and “@JennQPublic” on Twitter. You can listen to it here. There’s also a podcast link there as well but I’m not sure it’s live yet.
