Occupy Wall Street Baloney

[quote name='Jesus_lol' timestamp='1318221850' post='2318953']Do you really have to refer to your president with a slur EVERY time? i thought it was considered bad form by the mods to refer to public figures in such ways (notably, during election season, but recently calling other politicians names)[/quote]

i guess it just bugs this mod.

Anyone else notice the irony about Carmelo (the guy with the MBA)?

(Personally, I dig Winnie's "The Comrade," though I think he has sort of a patent on it, and I'd have to pay him royalties for using it.)

Personally, I refer to him as "The Master" (people familiar with Doctor Who will probably know what I'm talking about).

Right, Conservatives are more about getting caught with cocaine and prostitutes.

Totally! They must be making a killing. I saw a news report about how much money the pizzeria they are camped near is making because of these people. [Which is why a page or so back, in response to Socrates saying something to the effect of "no one is gaining in this" (I forget his exact phrasing, and I'm too lazy right now to look it up) I said "Except for the pizzerias!"]

Well, I have heard on the news that some labor unions are going to lend support to the protests, and the protests are going to spread to even more places, so we'll definitely need to keep an eye on this.
