Almost Too Much Fun to Pass Up

Received in my inbox just because I signed up for their blind email distribution ...

So, the Occupy corruptniks have time on their hands for a "super secret" demonstration in support of allowing loan defaulters to keep property they never really owned outright, and stopped paying toward? And they've assembled the impressive total of 100 whole Lefties from three different cities for their cause?

I called the pizza joint. As of 2:30 pm they were up to 35 of the 40 large pizzas they've calculated will provide one meal for this impressive assemblage. Unfortunately, I failed to ask if all the pizzas ordered were large, as a test of this distribution list's ability to follow instructions.

I've thought about driving by the pizza joint at 4:55 pm claiming to be "David" and absconding with the meal, which I have calculated will fit in the back seat of my Audi A4. Then swinging by the occupiers' headquarters to observe the chaos.

But I've calculated the risk of running into the long arm of the law outweighs the huge reward of the LOL experience it would promise.

Update 9/28/12

They're baaaaaaaaack .....

Note: Yesterday I drove a little bit out of my way to look at McPherson Square. The sod has been replaced and fenced off - all at taxpayer expense, of course. The Park Service better get the memo and have a few cops on station at the square all day Monday, or by Tuesday the fences will be torn down and the sod denuded again, courtesy of the Occupy mob. Since the Park Service and Occupy are both directed out of the White House, I have little doubt all will be well.

Update 9/30/12

When will these agitators ever learn ... making yourself a public pain in the a$$ is not an effective tactic as a member of the civil society. (Though it can be an effective act of war - which explains a lot about where the Left is in relation to the civil society)

The Impending Wave of Leftist Lunacy

When the ‘chicken sandwich activist’ named Floyd Lee Corkins II committed an act of domestic terrorism on the property of the Family Research Council (FRC), what the country witnessed was the tip of a very deep and jagged iceberg. This icebeg is composed of the densest material known to mankind … Leftist Lunacy.

The most telling part of this episode is that Corkins was carrying 28 Chick-Fil-A sandwiches in his backpack. Judging by the photo taken of him in cuffs outside the FRC, he hasn’t missed many meals ... but 28 sandwiches? Really? Obviously his imagination was captured by a recent episode in the news wholly manufactured by the Left, which I blogged about on August 2nd under the post title “The Right to eat a Chicken Sandwich In Peace and Quiet”

For the purposes of this analysis, however, the most salient fact is what Corkins said to the guard he shot: "Don't shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for.”

Really? What kind of p*o*s shoots a man in cold blood for tangential reasons, then expects mercy on the same grounds? Answer: The Leftist.

The Leftist is consumed by political ideology. The Leftist is convinced his ideology must be adopted or all mankind is doomed. The Leftist is further convinced anyone with a different ideology is ignorant (that is, not exposed to the brilliance of his ideology), uneducable (that is, not sufficiently equipped to accept the ideology’s brilliance), or downright evil (the smear of final resort – racist, greedy, or war mongering being the perennial top three.) I suspect Corkin viewed his shooting victim as mostly ignorant – one of the downtrodden masses he (Corkin) was fighting to free from the evil yoke of reactionary organizations devoted to preserving the nuclear family. My house troll, Ema Nymton, clearly has no trouble tarring me with all three of the Left’s classic smear vectors. Just read her comments to my posts.

Pat Buchanan knows what I’m talking about.


(side note: Buchanan always makes me laugh, and did it again this time, with the 1968 mistaken FBI identity story. He’s a great example to follow for the happy conservative warrior.)

==

The ‘chicken sandwich activist’ isn’t the only recent glimpse of grass roots Leftist Lunacy.

For example, there is a p*o*s named Daniel Sorno in Connecticut who clearly misunderstands the concept of federalism. He followed Corkin’s example by bringing the lunacy down to a state level.

Then there is this unidentified ObamaCare enthusiast in Little Rock - apparently offended by the sight of young men in red sashes. Perhaps he’s homophobic.

==

The point here is, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. As it becomes increasingly clear to the most casual observer that the Empty Suit Known as Barack Hussein Obama will lose the election of 2012, there is sure to be an outbreak of Leftist Lunacy throughout the republic.

Wisconsin was a warm up.

Occupy was a dress rehearsal.

My advice to the sovereign citizen is to laugh at them when possible, directly in their faces if you have the sand, and defend yourself with extreme prejudice when necessary.

Update 8/27/12

The always genial Left, masters of bile and venom on social media, have been tweeting death wishes to the RNC delegates hunkering down under Isaac's gale force winds.

Update 8/28/12

Hollyweird continues to be all the proof you need there is no direct correlation between wealth and intelligence.

Update 9/5/12

The case of the moody and irritable American Airlines male flight attendant caught my eye today. Just as a seismic reading. Male flight attendant? Hmmmmmmm. I wonder what position he plays on Team Leftie.

Update 9/7/12

Jeeeeezus, these guys are simply brain damaged.

Update 9/10/12

Really, there is no end to the lunacy with these unhinged nut jobs.

Weekly Status Report

Astute readers of this blog have surely noticed the rate of postings here has dramatically declined during this month of June 2012.  There are several factors at play.

First, there is the professional dimension.  I have been nominated by my boss for two project rescues in a row.  I’ve been doing some big cat herding lately for pay, which means the pro bono blogging needed to take a back seat.

The first rescue is a classic case of a junior Project Manager (the one I replaced) following the form of the administrative process and exercising zero leadership.  Throw in a notoriously difficult executive stakeholder he lacked the chops to go toe-to-toe with, and overworked developers hiding under their desks as a survival response … and people were beginning to notice he couldn’t even baseline a schedule anybody could trust.  The schedule is now base-lined and under my change management control.  The executive stakeholder is sure to continue to be a pain in the a$$ - it’s who she is - but we understand each other now.  I have the attention of the developers, and visible work product is now being created. 

The most interesting relationship on this one looks like it will be with the customer relationship manager.  She’s one of those high-strung obsessive compulsives who likes to tell people what to do in minute detail.  For example, on Friday I had no choice but to put an end to an extended email thread with this: “How many ways are there to say something was written, will be reviewed, and then approved?  Point of diminishing returns reached. J.”  We’re working together as a team just fine so far.

The root cause for the second rescue is the complete opposite.  It was driven into the ground by a know-it-all senior engineer that communicated nothing to no one before unveiling what she assumed was a production ready system to the entire enterprise.  Needless to say … a highly visible crash and burn was the result.  I had the kickoff meeting for the restart this past Friday, to assert my dominance over a managed iterative delivery process.  The key stakeholders are meeting with me on Monday to elaborate the scope for delivery iteration 1.

The interesting twist on this one is my boss is a key stakeholder, another is his political rival, who oversaw the disaster, and the executive stakeholder is boss to both of them.  Should be loads of fun.

==

My personal life has also required a good deal of attention to detail lately.  This is not the space to go into further detail. 

So, that’s it … the report from the brick and mortar world; the oxygen, carbon dioxide, and H2O world; explaining the blog’s diminished pace for delivering the conservative rants my loyal readership has enjoyed since December 2009.

==

But, even with these real world considerations, the plain  fact is the need for this blog’s mission – “Because the only good Progressive is a failed Progressive” – is disappearing before our very eyes.  By this standard, the Empty Suit Known as Barack Hussein Obama is on a rocket slide toward becoming the best Progressive ever.

The economy still sucks and even gives signs of turning downward again.  This condition is due to the Progressive and Keynesian policy program inflicted upon the republic by the Alinskyite Socialist in the White House:  tax, spend, borrow, and zealously regulate.  When these policies are reversed, by his removal from office, an economic boom will be touched off as trillions of spooked investment dollars currently on the sidelines come roaring back into the economy at large.

Iran’s nuclear weapons program continues apace, due to Barry’s typically defeatist and inert Progressive approach to foreign affairs.  Lucky for western civilization Israel is under management that has no delusions about the need to defend itself.  If and when Israel does what it needs to do, this will not be good political news for the Empty Suit that Began His Worldwide Apology Tour with His Islamic Appeasement Speech in Cairo.

Speaking of Cairo, and naïve Progressive notions about the world at large, the so-called Egyptian ‘Arab Spring’ has resulted in the election of a President beholden to the Muslim Brotherhood (MB).  That’s not the Islamic Shriners, by the way … more like the Islamic MS13.  IMHO, it is fortunate for western civilization that the professional Egyptian Army, very Americanized due to close military-to-military relations for decades, has assumed the powers of the dissolved parliament that was also MB dominated after popular elections.  If the MB wins this power struggle with the Army brass, Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel will be worthless, and there will likely be war in the Sinai desert.  We need new management in DC willing to back the Egyptian Army for the cause of peace.

Returning back to the domestic scene, the #OccupyWhatever mob, behind whom Barry foolishly threw his prestige and sympathy, has reached the stage of terminal irrelevance.  Despite the corrupt and biased liberal media’s best efforts, the #OccupyWhatever mob shall be accurately recorded by history as not much more than a garden variety youth gang crime wave.  Unofficially funded by the Democrat party, that is. 

==

Well, you get the picture … Jimmy Carter writ large, for those of you old enough to remember that national disaster - with a side of Saul Alinksy for an extra kick.  Botton line: there is not a snowball’s chance in hell Barry gets re-elected.  Part 26 of the “Newton’s Three Law’s” series will explain further.  LAS has been collecting links to collate into Part 26.  It’s not hard.  All I have to do is browse my way down my blog roll and the myriad of epic failures attributable to the Progressive in the White House jump out at me, as does the growing awareness of the American public, despite the mass hoodwinking being attempted by the corrupt and biased liberal media.

I twice abandoned this month a Jack Wiley Dithers piece, lacking the capacity to fully draft and edit it.  Earlier in the month, when the Campaigner-In-Chief was jetting off on Air Force One to west coast fundraisers while ignoring the D-Day anniversary, I had an idea for a desperate private campaign meeting on the airplane captured by a JWD operative … a flight attendant plant brought on to the JWD payroll for her … ahem .. unique assets.  Later in the month the idea morphed into a long string of desperate campaign conservations captured by a recording device injected into Barry’s favorite basketball … delayed by tedious editing required to remove all the background noise … you know, with all the dribbling.

Try to hang on a little while longer patriots, adult supervision will be coming back to DC soon.

Update 6/27/2012

The old conservative standby, American Spectator, has an excellent blog posting today fleshing out the adult view of conditions in Egypt.

Jack Wiley Dithers Exclusive: Obama Campaign Strategy Transcript

(AP) – Jack Wiley Dithers reporting

Taking creative liberties with the Patriot Act, my confidential DHS source was able to obtain the recording of a cell phone call from Miami to the District of Columbia; routed through Mykonos, Greece. There is unanimous agreement across my entire crack-jack staff of investigative journalists this is a scoop of truly historic proportions, and that the full transcript speaks for itself. Plus we also all agree editing is hard work.

==

Miami: Is everyone there?

DC: Yes, Sir.

Miami: Who exactly? Are they all one of us?

DC: Me, Jarrett, Plouffe, Axelrod, Dunn, and Biden.

Miami: Are we on speaker phone?

DC: Not yet, sir.

Miami: Get Biden out of there and then put me on speakerphone.

DC (muffled): Joe, go find Jay.

Miami: Taken care of?

DC: Yes, sir – he should be standing outside the Press Briefing Room for the next hour or so.

Miami: Good - engage speakerphone.

==

Miami: I have Stern with me on this end. By the way, where’s Holder?

DC: He’s shredding Fast and Furious documentation 24 x 7 these days.

Miami: {sigh} Let’s get started. Your re-election campaign is a train wreck. What the hell are you people thinking? For example, Stern say a story is about to break that you’ve inserted yourselves into the official histories for past Presidents.

DC: Oh, you must mean the web site. Pretty clever way to plug the campaign message, right?

Miami: No, dummy! Ripe for mockery! What part of keep your narcissism to yourself did you not get when I told you that! And who’s idea was all that War on Women crap?

DC: Dunn.

Miami: Should have figured – did you not learn anything from the War on Fox? Mein Gott, you people can’t seem to learn from anything. Who’s advising Warren? 1/32nd Cherokee? Really? What the hell is that supposed to be? Your going to lose the Kennedy seat AGAIN! What am I supposed to do with you people?

DC: (muffled) I haven’t talked to her in years. Not me. She’s not even in my contacts. Carney?

Miami: Look, I’m losing patience with you people. What are you planning to campaign on … successfully, that is.

DC: Gay Marriage … should bring in a lot of DINK donations, don’t ya think?

Miami: I was afraid you’d lead with that one. It better work. Stern thinks you’ll lose the black pastors – doesn’t sound good to me. What else?

DC: The Occupy movement is getting out the 99% message. We have the NATO and G8 Summits coming up.

Miami: {sigh} Have you fired that Van Jones guy like I told you to?

DC: (muffled) Doesn’t report to me. Never met the man. Ummm. Uhhhh.

Miami: Look, here’s the bottom line. You people got one more round of polls before I start reconsidering my options. Got that?

DC: Ummmm, let’s brainstorm … Do we still have a fall guy at JP Morgan? Where’s Geithner? … Last I saw him he was with Chu going over the Stimulus and Green Energy accounts …. They better not take anything out of the Stimulus re-election account …

(AP) – Jack Wiley Dithers reporting

Update 8:30 pm

Damnit! Scooped by Breitbart again! (Think Seinfeld exclaiming 'Newman' for the visual.) This author thinks it all means Mr. Soros meant the Clintonistas when he said he might reconsider his options. I hope so, because I'm convinced she's a sure loser in November due to her direct participation in Barry's train wreck ... or as I commented on the source article:

I disagree with your assessment it will be difficult to defeat Hillary in November. She's the sitting Secretary of State and Foreign Affairs is a train wreck. And she wrote her doctoral thesis on Saul Alinsky ("There is Only the Fight") - Obama's now well documented association with Alinsky tactics makes this an automatic disqualification. She would have been better off carping from the sidelines (rather than signing up for the administration) and keeping the thesis under lock and key (like she did during Bill's regime).

Warp speed, Mr. Sulu. Shields Up. Full power to phaser banks and photon torpedoes. That Democrat National Convention looks like it's going to be one to remember.

How Stupid *is* My Republic?

The April 4th update to my April 3rd post captured a theme that will no doubt make a strong contribution to the theme of this blog going forward.

LAS likes how Limbaugh is explaining Barry's erratic, hyperbolic, and cynical statements of late. It is an open electoral appeal to the truly ignorant and dumb. So, that's it then ... 2012 will demonstrate just how dumb my republic has finally become. Dumb enough to re-elect a failed demagogue? We shall see.

The answer to the question is not at all clear. The Empty Suit Known as Barack Hussein Obama has a truly sorry record … but is also protected by the praetorian guard of sycophantic propagandists known as the mainstream media. As we established at the outset of this blog project, the American electorate naturally identifies with conservative governing policies (hint: generally the opposite of BHO’s), but doesn’t actually realize this mostly because they are largely apolitical (or, more to the point, not informed about political ideologies). The majority of Americans walking into that voting booth on 11/06/12 will be making a choice between two alternatives they have barely spent any time examining, and about which they are mostly misinformed. And the fate of the republic hangs in the balance this time around. Oh joy.

On the plus side, conservative new media has arisen to do the corrupt and biased old media’s job for it, and is arguably at least an even match now in the information wars. The sure evidence is Rush Limbaugh’s increased ratings in the face of Team Leftie’s coordinated ‘Krieg auf Frauen Blitzkrieg” against his advertisers.

==

So, we have a non-ideological voting base, not inclined to do the homework to become informed ideologically, making a choice between an incumbent determined to hide his true hard Left ideology, and a GOP challenger who is inarticulate when talking about the alternative ideology. Furthermore, the incumbent is slavishly propped up by fellow travelers in the old media, and the challenger is promoted by a conservative new media not out of any love for the candidate but out of concern for the future of the republic.

A few top level observations regarding the odds making on this one …

1 - Conservative new media will have to work harder than the sclerotic dinosaurs in the corrupt and biased old media newsrooms. I have no doubt this will happen in an absolute sense … conservative new media is generally younger, smarter, and driven by a patriotic fervor. The opposition is represented by hacks like Chris ‘Tingles’ Matthews. But it remains an open question whether or not conservative new media will outwork the old media hacks by enough to reach enough of those so-called ‘independent’ voters who will remain on the couch with cheeto-stained fingertips until a week or so before the election. We shall see.

2 – Willard ‘Mitt’ Romney cannot make the mistake the GOP Establishment’s 2008 nominee made … the mistake of treating Team Leftie’s quota candidate with kid gloves. Early signs are actually OK on this one, but Romney will need constant prodding from grass roots conservatives to stay on track. At his core, the GOP Establishment nominee is a country club Republican, tailor made to be demonized by the class warfare campaign tactics of BHO’s Billion Dollar Slime Machine. Can Mittens run a campaign slightly outside his comfort zone in order to win it? We shall see.

3 – Can the American electorate direct righteous anger where it belongs? The Alinksy playbook being executed by Team Obama calls for riling up mob passions with the politics of envy, and putting your mob into action on behalf of your agenda - laws and public safety be damned. Occupy Wall Street is a perfect example, though that one doesn’t seem to working out so well for BHO and His Corrupt Gang of Progressives. The TEA Party movement is an example of the opposite – the *Taxed Enough Already* patriots mean what they say, say what they mean, work within the legal bounds of the existing system, and are the very model of law and order at every assembly. But, due to shamelessly biased portrayals by old media, I’ll bet you will get the wrong answer more often than not asking the average citizen which one is responsible for thousands of arrests, dozens of rapes, injury to countless police officers, and an unknown (but huge) cost in property damage. I have no doubt future historians will identify the corruptly biased coverage of these two movements as the real beginning of the end for old media. However, I’m afraid the misrepresentations will live on until the election, which is what matters now. Up against this calculated old media misrepresentation is the reality the electorate is living as a result of BHO’s sorry record. Will the average American voter place more credence in the policy wreckage unfolding before his very eyes, or the Alinskyite narrative spun by BHO with the help of old media? We shall see.

==

However I look at this question, I always come back to realizing the fate of the republic depends on conservative new media communicating Obama’s true record and true policy intentions.

Obama’s foreign policy is a disaster, but I don’t think it will come home to roost before the next election. Of course, I could be wrong … and if it does, it will be ‘game over’ a la Jimmy Carter.

I won’t shy away from covering Barry’s foreign policy wreckage in future posts. Nor will any other opinionator in conservative new media, no doubt. But the point here is the focus for winning this election has to be on opening the citizenry’s eyes to the misery BHO’s policies have directly visited upon them in their lives and neighborhoods.

When Barry runs around falsely claiming the economy is turning around because the officially measured unemployment rate has ‘ticked down’ from 8.2% to 8.1%, we need to relentlessly barrage the republic with the counter-points:

* These are the same geniuses who told us in 2009 their program was necessary to keep unemployment from ever getting above 8%.

* These hacks already hold the record for the longest stretch of official unemployment above 8% since the Great Depression

* The officially measured number goes *down* when a sufficient number of people become so discouraged they leave the work force altogether and are no longer counted as “looking for work,” and that explains the present measurement.

* 115,000 or so jobs created in a given month isn’t a gain against zero, it’s lost ground on needed growth. You need 200,000 per month just to keep up with new labor market entrants (aka graduates), and 400,000 per month (Reagan strength) to get back down to 4-5%.

* At 63.6%, we are at the lowest percentage of working age Americans actually working since 1981. (That would be Carter’s ‘malaise’ economy).

* Household income is down, way down, under Obama.

Oh, just watch this Bloomberg video for a taste of the numbers behind Barry’s economic fail …



==

And a little mockery doesn’t hurt the cause either. The mention of BHO’s latest call for more gub’ment ‘stimulus’ spending in the Bloomberg video brought back to mind this cartoon on the Townhall site, and my comment to it.

==

The bottom line is this: the only answer Team Obama has to the question ‘Are you better off than four years ago?’ is ‘No, but …’ The ‘but’ boils down to whining about their ‘inheritance’ from George Bush. That is something I’m sure will play poorly with the typical American. Americans do not like or respect whiners. Conservative new media must facilitate opportunities for Team Obama to answer this question as often as possible. Lord knows the fawning sycophants at CBS, NBC, and ABC certainly won’t.

And in the process we will discover how stupid my republic actually is.

Footnote

I just realized the finished product looks very little like the notes I was keeping (see footnote to yesterday’s post). That happens sometimes.

Update

Clumsy lead sentence cleanup with strike-through notation. I asked me for a budget to hire copy editors, but me remembered project revenue is stuck at zero.

Barry's Baffling Boondoggle to Afghanistan

Did you hear the Empty Suit Known as Barack Hussein Obama gave a campaign speech to the American people from Afghanistan? I’m sure you must have, because his lickspittle propagandists in the mainstream media made it their mission to ensure you did.

I’ve scoured the Intertubes looking for the price tag passed on to the taxpayers for Barry’s Baffling Boondoggle. Well, actually, I entered a simple search phrase into Google’s search engine, and the only actual estimate on page one did not come from any mainstream media source. The best answer I could find on page one was a ‘back of the envelope’ estimate from a 3 year old trip to the same locale. The citizen estimate came out to around three million bucks.

That’s one expensive nothing-burger in the slowest economic recovery since the Great Depression. But chump change compared to the now more than five *trillion* bucks of new national debt the Empty Suit has bequeathed the republic with his failed governance. So I’ve chosen to ‘largely ignore’ this calculated diversion. (That’s a dig at the MSM constantly describing the violent mob known as OWS with the mealy-mouthed phrase 'largely peaceful.')

I will only note one stylistic point that has escaped the attention of every other analyst (as far as I can tell). Am I the only one who has noticed Barry has the annoying habit of striking the lectern with his hand to punctuate statements, in the manner of a petty dictator? Just listen to the continuous thump-thump-thump rhythm on the ubiquitously available video of Barry’s speech. It’s enough to make a guy nostalgic for Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Nikita Kruschev, or even Dwight Schrute.



==

No, I choose instead to catalog the lengthy list of bad political news for Team Obama that he and his slavish water-carriers in the corrupt and biased liberal media wish to distract you away from noticing, by staging and promoting Barry’s Baffling Boondoggle to Afghanistan.

A ‘white hispanic’ (the new media term coined for George Zimmerman) going by the name of Jose Rodriquez, who also happens to be the former CIA Director of CIA Clandestine Operations, is doing the book promotion tour thing – and exposing Team Obama’s mendacious politics in relation to enhanced interrogation techniques employed against illegal enemy combatants in the War on Terror.

Previously unknown to anyone, Elizabeth Warren, Team Obama’s candidate to reclaim the Ted Kennedy Senate seat from Scott Brown, is apparently a ‘white Cherokee’ - and disappointed she didn’t get the high cheek bones.

Team Obama’s shock troops in the Occupy movement – known here as Barry’s Malingering Mob of Maladjusted Malcontents – made a generally very unimpressive street level showing during the big ‘general labor strike’ on the May Day.

Obama’s Solicitor General, fresh from having his ass handed to him in Supreme Court arguments on the ObamaCare individual mandate, just took it on the chin again in oral arguments over Arizona SB 1070.

One of Team Obama’s many unaccountable Czars of Some Damn Thing is feeling the blowback for some very uncivil political discourse.

Team Obama’s Attorney General, Eric “My People” Holder, is on the fast track to conviction for contempt of Congress based on his stone walling of the Fast and Furious investigations.

==

To sum up, I couldn’t say it any plainer than columnist Michael Goodwin – Obama is Desperate and It Shows.

Obama will do anything, say anything, to distract attention from his failed record of governance.

His foreign policy is a complete train wreck – the one and only public “success” is OBL’s assassination, which any President would have ordered and no American has any problem with. So ‘gutsy!’ When this week’s spiking of the football celebration is over, he has nothing else of substance to point to. And foreign policy will take a back seat to his lousy economy in this election, anyway. So, basically, he has nothing of substance to run on – except the predictable politics of division and gub’ment income redistribution panders he will drag out of the Leftist ideological grab bag. Running around the country falsely ginning up fears of student loan interest rate increases shows the template that will be repeated again and again.

Which is why my next substantive post has the working title ‘How Stupid *is* My Republic?’

The Obumper Schticker Only This Blog Could Create

Recognizing a quote possibly attributable to Alexis de Tocqueville is the title of this blog's most widely read post ...

Looking at the calendar and noticing Barry's Malevolent Mob of Maladjusted Malcontents (aka the Occupy movement coordinated Leftist public disturbance) will be out in force today creating mayhem, destruction, and injury throughout the republic ...

And connecting the dots for anyone still on the couch with cheeto-stained fingertips ...

I give you the bumper sticker that could only come from this blog project ...

Further updates to come as the mayhem unfolds. If only it were as humorous as this guy.



Updates

The mayhem gets off to an early start in San Francisco.

A report from the field in NYC suggests I may have overestimated the danger. Hilarious video on the link. ;)

It seems Occupy Cleveland is using Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground as role models. Fortunately, rule of law seems to have won this skirmish with three arrests before the bridge blew up.

Apparently the Chicago gathering was as comically sanguine as the NYC fizzle.

As of 6:31 pm EST the republic's police blotters are filling, but no (accomplished) serious violence to report yet. It's early in Oakland still ...

Occupy Seattle declares storefront windows to be public enemy number one. (I love the fashion decision of the occupier in the photo on the link - bringing floral shorts to the anarchy dance)

From my live Feedjit. Ugh. Let's hope this degenerate discovers porn before the night is through.



The view from the day after May Day ... all in all, not a bad day for the rule of law.

What Ted Nugent and Jim Treacher Teach Us

Both Ted Nugent and Jim Treacher are obviously persons of great import … they both have WikiPedia pages! I, alas, do not. Thus, I do not know either of them, nor can I know if they know one another. Thus is the great 21st century class division between the WikiPediad class and WikiPedialess class.

Your humble WikiPedialess correspondent can, however, provide the following thumbnail sketch biographies.

Nugent is the ‘Motor City Madman’ of Rock ‘N Roll, with a side interest in hunting large animals and a history of copious volumes of casual hetereosexual sex. I’m going out on a limb here, and putting Nugent squarely in the Libertarian half of the big Conservative tent.

Jim Treacher is the blogger with a regular gig at the Daily Caller behind this avatar …

Combining the Ward Cleaver vibe of the avatar with what I gather from his writing, I imagine a young Treacher as a kind of Libertarian-curious social conservative. In any event, he now regularly checks all the ideological boxes of the classically conservative fusion, and does so with a great sense of humor in his writing.

==

In the past 48 hours or so, both of these stalwart conservatives have made mighty contributions to the all-important goal of ridding the republic of the Empty Suit Known as Barack Hussein Obama. Taken together, they are a kind of Yin and Yang of the attitude conservatives will need to adopt to be effective in the current election season. The composite can be labeled the Happy Warrior – Mark Steyn’s long time National Review ‘chair,’ btw.

Ted Nugent gave us the Yin of “Take No Prisoners, Give No Quarter” directness, in remarks to the National Rifle Association (NRA). The overheated media reaction is the proof of its effectiveness. Team Leftie has enjoyed a monopoly on abrasive political speech for decades. They never imagined this Alinskyite technique would be turned back on them (Rule 8: "Keep the pressure on. Never let up"). Conservatives at all levels should learn from, and apply the lessons of Nugent's example.

Then Jim Treacher mounted a Yang assault (good humor and good cheer) with his reporting on BHO’s prior experience with the canine culinary arts. When Barry the Chosen One was riding high in 2008, flush with ObamaGirl videos going viral and Axelrod plants fainting at campaign rallies, they could not imagine Rule 5 of the Alinsky playbook would ever be turned on them ("Ridicule is man's most potent weapon”).

This is the Yin and Yang composite – at least attitudinally - that will save the republic from the scourge of the contemptible Left. And it is truly a matter of attitude, not a actual behavior. The bright line that will distinguish “us” from “them” in the current ideological battle is actual violence and property damage. Just ‘google’ (God I hate that word as a verb) “arrests TEA Party” and “arrests Occupy Wall Street” to understand my point.

Those who observed today that these dramas are distractions from the real issues – including notable Happy Warrior Newt Gingrich on Sean Hannity’s radio program today – miss the point. The Alinskyite mockery and the issues are both indispensable ingredients for success. The former is a tool for insinuating the latter into the minds of the voting masses – those this blog labels “clueless independents.”

Nugent hit the issues at a macro level, if not a detailed level (but then, again, can we expect policy details to be the job of the “Motor City Madman”?) “Good solid B+”. We need more of it.

Treacher hit the mockery button brilliantly, spawning a day of electronic frivolity that surely has Barry curled up in the fetal position in the Lincoln Bedroom this evening.

Somebody find the Establishment GOP and wake them up from their nap. It’s time to earn all that dough grass roots conservatives have sent them over the years.

Alinsky’s Rule 11 … "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."

Paul Ryan’s plan is a tepid start for clueless independents to start to swallow.

Only Rhetorically, Billy Boy, Not Literally - Like You

From Red State.

Bill Ayers is a despicable human being. So is is his wife Bernadine Dohrn. Born to privilege, radicalized by the 60's New Left, convicted domestic terrorists both. Hard core members of the Weather Underground, which literally sought the violent overthrow of the US Government in order to replace it with a form of Marxism, and acted upon this goal by literally blowing stuff up. Neither has ever expressed the slightest remorse for the mayhem they inflicted upon the civil society.  All of this, of course, made them darlings of the Left and set them up for life as tenured members of the Leftist academy. And, oh, did I mention Barack Hussein Obama launched his political career in the living room of these entitled felonious Marxists?

There is also a good bit of circumstantial evidence supporting the assertion Bill Ayers wrote BHO's first of two autobiographies.  The book Ayers undisputably wrote - Prairie Fire - is being used as one of two playbooks (Alinsky's Rule For Radicals being the other) directing the street mayhem and political food fights BHO and his corrupt gang of progressives are inflicting upon the civil society in the current election cycle.

Recently, Ayers attacked Breitbart with rhetoric proving once again Leftists possess no sense of irony.  Kind of like arguing for photo ID to purchase a six pack of Corona, or sign up for government assistance, but not to vote.

Look it all up, kiddies - you have the Google machine.

The Evolution of a Narrative

(Or, today’s seminar in Progressive politics)

By now, I suspect you, dear reader, have heard of this pathetico …

Future historians will note the pitiful wretch known as Sandra Fluke as nothing but a useful idiot for Team Leftie’s maniac assault on the constitution, American values, and the American people.

It is worth reviewing for those future historians how we have come to this ridiculous place – giving a 30 year old entry-level Leftist activist her 15 minutes of fame … for improbably (just look at her!) claiming the volume of heterosexual intercourse in which she engages is so large it must be underwritten by a federal mandate.

==

In the very first act of this political farce, Barack Hussein Obama’s tyrannical progressive administration did what it came to town to do – piss all over the constitution. This time (and, trust me, it won’t be the last, either), it was trashing First Amendment religious freedoms by attempting to dictate to the Catholic church it must provide coverage for contraceptives in health insurance plans, church conscience notwithstanding.

A firestorm of righteous indignation arose across the republic - proving all of us have not been converted into meek subjects of the state, not just yet. I, for my part, am quite satisfied with my meager contemporaneous contribution to the national debate:

Feeling the heat, Team Leftie attempted to deflect criticism with an accounting trick. The Empty Suit Known as Barack Hussein Obama came out to the podium and announced he had a ‘compromise’ to offer the church. The burden of the cost for the mandate would be shifted from the church to the insurance companies with which the church contracts. This empty offer belied three truths: [1] The extent to which the insurance industry has already been co-opted by Team Leftie as crony capitalists, [2] an assumption of profound economic stupidity (who thinks the insurance companies don’t pass these costs on to all customers?), and [3] Team Leftie is hell bent on boring ahead toward a single-payer gub’ment run health care state by whatever means necessary.

To its’ enduring credit, the Catholic church did not accept the fake ‘compromise’ proposal, choosing not to hide behind a billing procedure while throwing its’ religious conscience under the bus – which is the Faustian bargain Team Leftie was really offering.

And to his credit, doing his job as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA) called for hearings on the constitutionality of what this blog has labeled the ‘Institutional Mandate’ (albeit as a commenter on the Glittering Eye blog).

As Byron York of the Washington Examiner reports, Nancy Pelosi and the crooked gang of Team Leftie hacks she runs with in the House immediately set out to make a mockery of the hearing.

"The Democrats played games with us the day before [the hearing]," says a Republican committee source. "After days of asking for a witness, they waited until the last minute, the afternoon before the hearing. They asked us to invite Rev. Barry Lynn [head of Americans United for Separation of Church and State] and Ms. Fluke. We said we'll invite one, per standard procedure. We formally invited Rev. Lynn, and the Democrats, at 4:30 pm, changed their mind and said they wanted Fluke. We said too late. They told Rev. Lynn not to show up the next day."
When the hearing took place, Democrats proceeded to clobber Republicans. "Where are the women?" asked New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney as she looked at the all-male first panel for the hearing. (Two women testified in the hearing's second panel, but Maloney and her fellow Democrats ignored that.)

Then, last week, Rush Limbaugh was simply Rush Limbaugh. He delivered satirical conservative commentary on this matter no different in spirit than that which I offer here. He made the mistake of using a couple of highly charged words – ‘slut’ is the word most often referenced – and Team Leftie swung into coordinated action to denounce, demonize, and destroy their ideological enemy.  Because it's what they do.

Last weekend’s talking heads news cycle dutifully played along – both dyed-in-the-wool leftists as willing collaborators and establishment faux conservatives as patsies. The Media Research Center’s Brent Baker ably explained …

No love on the Sunday morning television talk shows for Rush Limbaugh, not even a mild defense as the unifying theme was disappointment in Mitt Romney for not denouncing the leading national conservative talk radio host. “The problem with Rush Limbaugh,”

As far as I’m concerned, the defeatist establishment conservatives (Will, Noonan, et al.) are playing right into Team Leftie’s hands by going along with the narrative change (from First Amendment rights to trumped up indignation around policing speech about women.)

Newt Gingrich handled it much better in this slap down of David Gregory. This performance is: (a) a video seminar on how to handle the corrupt and biased Leftist media, and (b) another demonstration of why Newt is the best available GOP candidate in this cycle.

We need to beat Team Leftie at their own rotten game. When they change the subject to prepare the personal attacks, we need to change it back to the real issues and take the debate directly to the Empty Suit Known as Barack Hussein Obama.

Rush’s explanation on Monday was also a pretty good demonstration, in which he took ownership of his small tactical mistake regarding choice of words, refused to accept the change in narrative, and refocused on the real First Amendment issue.

The republic is going to need more performances like these two this year. Because Team Leftie is highly organized, deeply embedded in the media, and will employ whatever means necessary to keep their man in the White House this election cycle. Because they are far, very far, from done with ‘fundamentally transforming’ America into a statist misery pit in which the gub’ment can mandate anything and everything.

Good thing we have the legacy of Andrew Breitbart to draw on as inspiration for this year’s fight over the republic’s future.

The Music Festival For The 2012 Election

An all-English (geriatric edition) virtual concert documenting the zeitgeist of the coming election.

Opening things up ... The Kinks, in their art house incarnation, giving us Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues ... for the anti Patriot Act crowd, some of whom may have knee-jerked a hopey-changey vote in '08 to help put the republic in its current predicament.




Next up is Ten Years After, with one for the now thoroughly disillusioned October 2011 Occupy Wall Street wave of maladjusted malcontents, who learned the hard way throwing public temper tantrums is not a persuasive form of argument - I'd Love To Change the World.




But, of course, Van Jones and the rest of Team Leftie are not done with their self-appointed mission to replace capitalism with socialism. So, the next one is for the next wave of lunatic occupiers they will unleash on the republic this spring and summer ... Street Fighting Man, by the Rolling Stones, appropriately in their advanced age to represent the arthritic state of Team Leftie's ideology.




Pink Floyd will now perform Sheep from the Animals album, complete with a grandiloquent visual presentation notably appropriate to the Floyd as it would be for no one else ... for the clueless independent voters that are destined to swing the most important general election of my lifetime.




The next one is for the corrupt and biased liberal media - which will do their deceitful best to misrepresent and shade each and every news cycle to guide these clueless independent sheeples toward the media's preferred outcome - Van Jones' preferred outcome, that is. The Wizard, by Black Sabbath ... you will need to translate the Spanish subtitles for yourself, as a metaphor for translating the high grade equine manure the liberal media feeds you daily.




The Kinks, in their arena rock incarnation, return with Low Budget, an ode to the real issue, the issue the corrupt and biased liberal media will do their deceitful best to prevent from being honestly discussed - Barry's dysconomy.




Finally, to predict the full economic recovery that will accrue directly and simply from defeating the Empty Suit Known as Barack Hussein Obama ... Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin.





Update 2/29/12

The two primaries on the Tuesday before “Super Tuesday” bring a warning for the republic. Mittens squeaks one out in one of his three home states, and proves Jan Brewer’s endorsement, unlike Nikki Haley’s, is worth something. Mittens still has not cleared 50% anywhere.

According to some exit polling, Mittens is garnering a majority of the vote for people who stipulate they are looking for the candidate most likely to defeat Obama. As with so many “majorities,” this one is dead wrong. All I can figure is they are going for the Gary Cooperish matinee idol looks. Newsflash – Obama already has this angle covered – only updated – metrosexual and half-black for modern voter.

As I’ve explained, and will continue to explain until it sinks in, Romney is the opponent Obama wants. Romney lacks the chops to score a knock-out punch on the all-important one-on-one debate stage, and Romney is the Richie Rich villain to cast as the target of Team Leftie’s rotten class warfare message.

I’m not saying Romney can’t beat Obama. I’m saying he makes it harder than anyone else still running, with the one exception of Ron Paul. We still have a long way to go. And in honor of this reality, the music festival continues with the considerable talents of geriatric Englishmen Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton combined, to deliver Can’t Find My Way Home, originally by Blind Faith.

The timing of this rally is exquisite. The chicken eggs hidden inside the ObamaCare bill are comin' home to roost!

(1) The Supreme Court will be simultaneously reviewing the obvious unconstitutionality of the Individual mandate.

(2) Team Obama has stepped into it big time, politically, by trying to shove contraception down the Catholic church's throat. (see yesterday's LAS post).

(3) And, of course, one of Team Obama's jackbooted progressive brownshirts - the ersatz Catholic known as Rosa DeLauro - was sent out to instruct us in the Washington Post's opinion propaganda pages that it's really about more free stuff for women. (Hat Tip to radio man Chris Plante) I especially love her "fairness" pitch based on the stipulation men can acquire Viagra without a co-pay. Hey, here's an idea - make it "fairer" by making the l*mp d*cks pay for their own damn Viagra.

(4) And last, but not least, the petting zoo known as OccupyDC will still be in town to provide a brilliant contrast. After we assemble, make our point, and pick up after ourselves, we should drop by to review and photograph the camp squalor. iow - do the corrupt and biased liberal MSM's job for them.

Newton's Three Laws (Part 25)

Despite my best intentions to leave this title behind ... basically due to the monotony … sometimes you just can’t ditch a good idea.

Sock! Mittens loses a triple header to today’s Not-Romney, Rick Santorum.

Pow! Look out Rick, Mittens the Hun and his Establishment caricature assassination squad will be gunning for you next.

Zock! LAS is still a Newt guy, rest assured. Because results matter and Newt is still the only Speaker in my lifetime to balance a federal budget. Everything else is bread and circuses. Maybe Santorum will return the favor and make the mistake of publicly instructing Newt to leave the race. :)

Bif! Give Santorum his due, though – he’s the first candidate to clear 50% with room to spare in any single contest.

Bam! LAS suspects Santorum – the natural candidate for the devoutly religious – is benefiting from BHO and His Corrupt Gang of Progressives trying to shove contraception down the Catholic church’s throat.

Sok! Meanwhile, BHO’s Secretary of Defense has either been stricken with Alzheimer’s or is sending discreet signals to Tehran, breathing new life into the Stupid or Treasonous series.

Blap! The Israelis have stopped trying to figure out the Stupid or Treasonous angle, and will be taking care of business themselves.

Whap! LAS is glad to see the initiative displayed by the Israelis. Because we here in the US have things to attend to domestically. Like getting conservatives and unrepentant domestic terrorists to the same dinner table for a little light bi-partisan political discourse.

Bif! And stealing elections, if you are a Democrat.

Oooof! And harassing conservatives, if you are an Occupier.

BREAKING NEWS: Kabuki on the Square

(AP) - Jack Wiley Dithers reporting.



Today Barry's Park Police cleaned up after Barry's Bolshevik Brigade on the Square.

Operations were "largely peaceful" - only six arrests. All arrested were sent directly to the "joovie," where they belong.

Many dead rats were pulled out of the cess pool formerly known as McPherson Square.  Authorities have speculated the explanation could be Lestat the Vampire has been living in the camp.

The cost of the cleanup operation to the civil society remains uncalculated. Nearby residents reported no cost would be too high to endure.

The remaining occupiers have been sent back to their rooms to continue the whine-fest until Barry finally decides this foolishness is a liability for him. (Memo to Barry:  Too late).

Updates will be provided as necessary. Just not until tomorrow. I have a previous engagement this evening, which history predicts will require much sleep to recover from. I expect the republic will still be there when I awaken.

(AP) - Jack Wiley Dithers reporting.


Update

This somehow became necessary.  Arrest count climbs to eight. Cops assaulted. Still "largely peaceful."

Hat Tip Ironic Surrealism.

Update 2/6/12

McPherson Square gives the observer the surreal image of a tiny scorched earth war zone in the middle of a prosperous city going about its' normal business.

A handful of tents remain, apparently to contain random "stuff" and garbage. A few of the stalwart derelicts are milling about. "Bear" was spotted outside the Vermont Avenue Starbucks wearing his filthy yellow "October 2011 First Aid" tee shirt. The Artist was in his usual corner, with a much smaller tent to protect his creative works, and appropriately wearing a Siberian style (read czarist) fur cap.

No one in camp seems to be able to explain where anyone is sleeping now. Probably accommodations underwritten by Soros, Inc. Unfortunately, decontamination is being underwritten by We The People.

When I asked a Park policeman how the injured cop was doing, his answer was (paraphrasing) "he's doing fine, he's regaining his lost eyesight."

The one man counter protest I blogged about previously was back out on K street with a sign that said "Don't Believe the Liberal Media." The distinct lack of media covering the park's destruction by Barry's Bolshevik Brigade supported his assertion.

An Occupier was taken out of the 15th Street Starbucks by DC EMS on a gurney. I guess that's what sleep deprivation and massive amounts of caffeine will do. No word on whether ObamaCare will cover treatment.

“Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive”

Update 2/8/12

The Artist was spotted on the square at approximately 3:30 pm. Pacing in tight circles in the mud, utterly alone, with the beginning of tonight's wintery mix falling down around him. My thought at the time: "poor lost soul." The Pandora radio selection ringing in my ears right now: "I'd Love To Change the World" by Ten Years After. I assume the Park Police on duty tonight won't allow his actual demise to occur on their watch.

Occupy DC to defend our dream, right to sleep

We have a dream of a better world. Let us sleep so we have the energy to create it.

Participants of Occupy DC at McPherson Square, both sleeping members and non-sleeping members, will defend the public space we have used as our center for activism on this Monday, January 30th. The National Park Service has given notice that they will be giving citations to – i.e. likely arresting – occupiers at noon for having camping material in an attempt to shut down our movement. Occupy DC will peacefully resist this politically motivated attempt to suppress the free speech of the disenfranchised 99%.

The 1%, led by Darrell Issa, the wealthiest member of Congress, has launched an attack upon the free speech of those of us who disagree with the direction in which our country is going but cannot afford to give unlimited contributions to Super PACs or have lobbyists write legislation for us. In occupying public spaces we act as an ongoing challenge to the K Street lobbyists and elected officials undermining our democracy through the corrosive influence of money in politics.

We give shelter and voice to those who have had none. Attempted foreclosure upon our home will not solve homelessness or improve our health and safety. Nor will it quiet us.

At a time in American history when corporations are deemed to be people and money is considered free speech, structures sustaining people who are working to improve our democracy should be equally protected by society. Occupy DC is a voice for the 99%, whose voices have been kept out of the back rooms and muzzled in our economic and political conversations.

It’s no accident that the 1% earned 60 percent of all new income in the last three decades. The system is rigged against us, the 99%, and it will take more than voting to fix. On Monday we will defend free speech and our vision of a just society from attempted repression by the 1% – by any peaceful means necessary.

-----

We will be providing updates to the press, and participants will be available for interviews throughout the day. People will be livetweeting with the #defend99 and #J30 hashtags. Livestream URLs will be published on those tweets. Occupy DC Media can be reached at 202-540-0155.

Looks like my usual lunch time constitutional may be very entertaining tomorrow. Frankly, I'm surprised. I didn't think Barry and His Corrupt Gang of Progressives were willing to stay true to their constitutional oath to enforce the laws. We shall see ...

Could be a double reverse back flip to give up the mud pit without giving up the "cause." RebelPundit has insight into the next big move.

Update 1/30/12

Driving past Camp Stinky, McPherson Square this morning, I noticed two things in particular. A few more derelicts than usual, and a lot more media than usual. So it appears there will be kabuki and farce at Camp Stinky to bemuse the civil society.

And let us not forget Team Leftie still has Camp Stinky, Freedom Plaza - which already enjoys the cover of a permit extorted from the Park Service months ago. It is also a strategically superior assembly point for Team Leftie - the foundation is raised concrete (with drainage pipes embedded) instead of mud. I'm firming up a theory this is a just a tactical withdrawal.

Update #2 1/30/12

Home from work and now in my jammies (no feet). The occupiers of Camp Stinky did not disappoint. These geniuses, for the first time as far as I know, draped the statue of General McPherson in spray paint adorned tarpelin. I guess he thought it was an improvement protecting him from the usual pigeon sh*t. But the General's relief was brief. The occupiers calculations were faulty and the general's hat, as well as his steed's ears, poked through their free speech.

So far, though, Barry's Park Police have not enforced the sleeping ban on Barry's Bolshevik Brigade. Maybe they are waiting until ... you know, when the occupiers ... go to sleep.

Update 1/31/2012

Bob Schieffer Blog Roll stalwarts Pundit and Pundette have a morning update on the epic standoff. The local news here in DC reports the McPherson Square mob plans to stay up all night every night indefinitely. Pure genius. Well, at least the sleep deprivation should increase the day time entertainment value for commuters.

Update #2 1/31/2012

This thing is beginning to look like a showdown between Barney Fife and Ernest T. Bass.

During my noon time constitutional I initially found the Tent of Dreams in the previous day's state. On cue, there was a thunderous riiiiiip! sound, as the tent was further torn by the wind. I was Johnny-on-the-spot requesting a 'mic check' to ask if anyone had any duct tape. I was largely ignored, proving occupiers fail to respect free speech, in addition to being racist and misogynistic.

By 2 pm or so, the Tent of Dreams had fallen down to General McPherson's waist. The occupiers missed an opportunity to recover the situation by renaming it the Skirt of Dreams. I then observed the occupiers' Tent of Dreams Committee deciding what to do. One proposal was to to make an offer to the Park Police to take it down in return for the 'right to sleep' in the park. With negotiation skills like this, it's a wonder they have failed to grow their enterprise into every park in DC with a civil war statue. (hint: there are a lot of those)

At 4 pm or so I observed the Tent of Dreams down around the horse's ankles and the police rushing to the scene en masse. (It was actually half a dozen park police strolling from their usual position on the edges toward the center).

It is now 7 pm here in my capitalist bastion wired to the Intertubes and I think I now know why.

Here's the bottom line, kiddies. Barry is executing the Saul Alinsky / Bill Ayers playbook - fomenting chaos to exploit for tyrannical purposes - but the result is looking more and more like vaudeville slapstick. Because We The People have better things to do - like make a living and take care of our families.

OccupyDC Fears LAS

Hey, all I was gonna say was I couldn't make it because I had a previous engagement with the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (VRWC) monthly meeting at the Masonic Memorial.

Or, maybe I should have told them to take me off the email distribution, too - because that's the only reason I stumbled into this silliness.

OccupyDC is now added to the list with Huffington Post and National Public Radio as official censors of the phenomenon known as LibertyAtStake. The case demonstrating the Left tolerates no dissent grows.

If you are reading this, why not follow the link and give OccupyDC a little dissent to digest?

“Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive”

Jack Wiley Dithers Exclusive: OccupyDC Instant Messages Intercepted

(AP) - Jack Wiley Dithers Reporting.

My cracker-jack investigative journalism team has uncovered direct ties between the OccupyDC camp at McPherson Square and the White House. This connection is firmly established by our archive of intercepted Instant Message (IM) packets, all sent and received from the same Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop. This laptop has been using the open, public, wi-fi connection provided by a Starbucks two blocks north of McPherson Square ever since the occupiers arrived in town. The IM exchanges are between an account inside the Starbucks using the handle @FreeAbbieHoffman, and a co-conspirator using the handle @OFA. Our elite IT staff has analyzed the IP addresses in these packets, have done their geo-location computations, and have established with 99.98% certainty the @OFA packets originate from inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC.

The promising young intern I hired last year for her unique qualifications has connected the Starbucks laptop to a hobo.   This hobo somehow manages to walk around all day with very expensive digital devices and film equipment, and also somehow affords the freight to sleep every evening in the Residence Inn directly across from the targeted Starbucks network. We have observed him expertly agitating the mob most evenings during so-called General Assembly (GA). This is our best surveillance photo to date.

I think you'll find the IM exchanges quite eye-popping. I know I did as I observed the perky intern doing her desk work to assemble them into this report.

@FreeAbbieHoffman: Cigar guy commenting on our site. DO SOMETHING!

@OFA: We have his real name and address. Organize a march on his house for this evening.

@FreeAbbieHoffman: March on cigar guy's house a no go. Too far to walk and nobody in camp has a valid drivers license.

@OFA: No matter - we decided to cancel because he has a blog.

@FreeAbbieHoffman: Cigar guy in camp almost every day now. This is really pissing me off.

@OFA: We told you he has a blog. Nothing can be done.
