    #MittRomney, I guess it should not be a shock that a multimillionaire vulture capitalist would think that the poor are doing just fine!

    Morning all!
    Yesterday’s SF Chronicle was wall to wall lies about Saturday’s Occupy Oakland events, and hundreds of useful idiots in the comments blogs are swallowing the lies. (Dang, Sam just beat me to this) Jean Quan plans to call national Occupy leaders: http://tinyurl.com/7jwyjuw

  17. Sunshine Jim says:

  18. Steven M says:

    “Is there any situation in life where theres a Win,Win,Win,Win Situation?”

    Yer Republican primaries right now….. any of those candidates is a Win for the liberals!

    Nice show peeps! Occupy the World! We had personal accounts of the abuse @ Occupy Santa Cruz from members who went to #OO. I have also been abused by police in a different incident – wtf is going on in USA? Why do we pay for police forces to hurt The People for the 1% Corporate “people?” The riot police roaming through our empty City park, waiting for homeless “looking” people after OSC camp was taken down = scary, for So many reasons.

  20. bikegata@copper.net says:

    Sound skips and halts right in the middle of the phone number, been doing that off and on for me. Comes right back without refreshing, picks up right where it left off. Strange.

  21. Here’s a win-win squared, click through the amazon link at majority.fm then buy Jimmy Reefercake’s debut album “Reefer Madness”. An explosion of wins! Go pats!

  22. Sunshine Jim says:

    how can they ignore trillion dollar “corporate welfare”?

  23. Sunshine Jim says:

    seeing an ahole CNN affiliate talking head get tazed seems a neccesary educational response…

  24. bikegata@copper.net says:

    Journalisic objectivity is a lie perpetrated by the biggest media liars, the corporate press.

    Yesterday, sunshine Jim posted a link to a story on how Norway got out from under the 1%’s rule. Today, on that same site, I read an article titled, “social justice quiz:13 questions” question #7 states that $620 million will be spent on old age social security benefits, compared to $836 Billion on defense. The figures I find for ss is $761B, not $620m. Could the article just have a clerical error? Or is my figure wrong?
