Occupy Ironies Continue...


I was off duty for several days and was hoping the OWS hippies would have packed it in by now.  (Sigh).  No such luck.

Yesterday, things turned violent in Oakland, CA, which called for a nation-wide job walk-off.  CNN US has the story.

The "northern front" of Occupy Oakland, even saw some skirmishes here in Seattle.

Mark Steyn rolled-in about the hypocrisy of OWS's corporate sponsorship in his Revolution Inc article.

A lot has been said about the hippy/occupiers naivete--and even down-right ignorance.  So who's to blame for that? 

Bruce Thornton faults our failing schools in this Front Page article. 

He certainly has a point.  How can we expect kids to know about economics, finance, foreign affairs and civics, when they blow their tuition money on courses like Jay-Z 101?

And how's the rest of the nation taking all this?  Not all that well, apparently.  In a recent poll, nearly 40% of responders viewed the OWS in an unfavorable light, according to this National Journal article.
