| So we now have dead bodies at Occupy Vancouver, Occupy Oakland, Occupy Salt Lake City, and even Occupy Burlington, Vermont. The good news is that for the moment Occupy Wall Street types seem more at risk from scrofula: “I’m amazed that in a park full of revolutionaries, there are large contingents that can’t throw away their own trash,” said Jordan McCarthy, 22, a member of the protesters’ sanitation team. Jordan and her fellow “revolutionaries” like to assure us that they’re the future. And in the sense that, in a post-prosperity America pox-ridden encampments of the homicidal, suicidal and narcotically inept will not seem that unusual, she may have a point. But I do hope at least a few of the celebrities who’ve endorsed the movement – Susan Sarandon, Cornel West, Naomi Klein, Michael Moore, Margaret Atwood, Noam Chomsky – get to spend the night |

Me too. Throw in Michael Bloomberg, Jean Quan, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Harry Reid to the list of left wingnuts. |

| #3 Tea Party is wise to allow the OWS folks to destroy themselves before making another appearance. Then when the Tea Party does have a rally or two they should have a million cameras ready for the handful of OWS nuts that try to cause a fuss. |

| #1 "I'm amazed that in a park full of revolutionaries, there are large contingents that can't throw away their own trash," said Jordan McCarthy Maybe OWS will be a learning experience for some of the young folk. By the way, whatever happened to the Tea Party? |
