The term for enclosing protesters in multiple rings of police is "kettling". These protesters were kettled. Please make a note of it.

Occupy deserves some sort of award for glomming on to other groups' activities. What would be a suitable name for such an award? The Limpet? The Remora? The Barnacle? The Pediculus Pubis?

I can't do squat about it!

There are NO laws apparently about living next to human chimneys (my current neighbors).

But the worst are the people with big barbecues who aparently are too cheap to buy lighter fluid and so bring paint thinner or kerosene from work and literally create a chemical fire that is so vile I have to close every window. And is doesn't stop there as some of them bring their Dachau style family outing to public parks and fumigate people trying to lay on a towel and soak up the precious sunshine that has been missing for the last 3 years!!!

Am I a republican riding the waaaambulanace calling for "more regulation".

I simply ask...are people that stupid.

I like Barnacle and Tapeworm. They'd make for interesting statue design options as well.

I love how Sandra Fluke has become a celebrity -- all because of the Repubs and Limpbag. Neat. Hope she runs for office after graduation.
