Illustrating Absurdity
It's raining in Los Angeles today. The saving grace is that we probably won't have any Anti-Wall Street protesters in front of City Hall whining about the "Capitolist" and imperialism. People cancel appointments rather than drive in the rain around here, so do you think they're going to make their way to a protest? Oh, I think not.
Manhattan has not fared so well, and I'm sure Wall Street and every other working person they have disrupted for the past two weeks are hoping for snow storms to drive out that lot.
You know your movement is whack when George Soros says he "sympathizes with protesters speaking out against corporate greed in ongoing protests on Wall Street[..]" The man who single-handedly funds many Democrat politician's campaigns and PAC groups? Are you sh@tting me?
Even more absurd is Michael Moore waxing philosophical about this "movement" ad nauseum. This Fat (literally)-cat filmmaker who lives high on the hog off his returns from propaganda films, while railing against the capitalist system that allows him to rake in those very earnings, has always rung false. He's a tool, but unfortunately, a loud one.
Alec Baldwin and Susan Sarandon are no better. Say Alec, what's your annual salary from 30 Rock and all those endorsements, like Capital One?
Now that I've expressed my disdain, I'm going to finish an article for my Examiner job so that I can get more virtual pennies. Then it's off to my other job as a Yoga instructor, where I hope my gas tank lasts to the next pay day.
I might be inclined to protest, but I'm too damn busy trying to earn a living.
