Nothing to see, move along. That's about all it'll amount to.

I hope you are correct.

I have too much respect for the organization and rhetorical abilities of Stephen Lerner (SEIU) and Wade Rathke (ACORN) to discount it wholesale at this point.

I am almost ashamed to admit I am counting on the apathy of the american youth to make this thing a non-starter. If it comes off, and lasts until Monday, it'll become a problem, because by then, "#it'll be a party!"

Now this is something I can get behind. I don't like living in a Corporatocracy. Why didn't we listen to Eisenhower?

Brother, me too. Baltimore's just this side of a free-fire zone as it is; I don't like my chances of getting out of there intact if this thing goes China Syndrome. Lock myself in Torsk and hope for the best.

I'm guessing by the utter lack of burning things, that this was, like just about every other pseudo-organized attempt at getting Americans fired up, a colossal non-event?

Maybe all the rage 'zombies' attacked and no-one noticed the change?

Actually they trashed every major city in the western world. The commielibpinkoatheist news outlets just refused to print anything, and if you didn't notice it's because you've got your heads in the sand and your tails between your legs.
