Does anyone remember the Occupy Movement?

losers of the occupy movement

Ah the subtle ironies of life. The “Occupy” protesters who for a full month didn’t even know why they were protesting are now fighting to get even a small mention by the American media.

I have news for the occupy movement. Your cause was doomed from the start. First of all, your movement refused to mention President Obama out of fear of being labelled racists. This was a fatal flaw in your argument that you and your ilk deserve a free ride through life.

Obama has had three years to fix the mess we call an economy and to date, has done little to do any of the things he campaigned on. Remember “Change?” The only change I see is the change in my pocket after being bent over by Washington. Nothing has changed. In fact, government has grown exponentially in his reign as “The Anointed One.”

Second, the occupy movement had no real agenda and did not manage to put together an agenda for nearly 30 days into their protests.

When an actual agenda was produced, it was nothing more then an incredibly selfish list of demands that would be impossible to fulfill. It was also a direct attack on the American way of life.

This my incredibly selfish and stupid “occupy” friends is what caused you to lose the American public. This is the same American population that has to get out of bed every day and schlep their way through another day of work at a menial job to make ends meet and pay their own way through life.

Third was the way the occupy protesters have little or no regard for those around you. You “expect” people to understand your selfish wants and needs yet refuse flatly to admire the people that work for a living.

Blocking freeways and intersections only served to make life miserable for people like myself that were simply trying to get through another day.

The Fourth nail in the “occupy” coffin was the flotsam and jetsam that called themselves “protesters.” Your core group consisted of nothing more than pot heads, hippies, homeless people are molesters according to some news reports.

You people wanted Americans to take you serious, but that is absolutely impossible when your core proteters are unkempt and disheveled looking.

The Occupy protesters came off like a bunch of sore losers holding out a collective bag and saying “whats in it for me?”

Those are just a few thoughts on the “Occupy” movement by yours truly. The only movement America saw were the bowel movements that your protesters were taking in the bushes near your protests. JD

UFCW Grocery Strike will Force Vons, Ralph’s and Albertsons to Close California Stores

The United Food and Commercial Workers Union or UFCW, is once again proving to be the captain of a sinking ship and like Lemmings, their rank and file membership will be the crew on this ship of fools.

All employees of Vons, Ralph’s and Albertsons have seen nothing but layoffs since the big box stores, WalMart and Costco have taken the lions share of their market, and many smaller chains are nipping away at these three dinosaurs of an age gone by chopping away at profits.

Yet the UFCW continues to try to pigeonhole the owners of the supermarket chains as greedy tyrants hell bent on making the union rank and file a bunch of serfs working for peanuts with no benefits.

Nothing can be further from the truth. Lets face it, Vons, Ralph’s and Albertsons are like cavernous ghost towns, relics, museums of how the supermarket industry used to be in the olden days. There are no longer throngs of shoppers disregarding the high prices in favor of good service.

Times are tough. In case no one told the UFCW, we are in a recession. Ironically enough, the UFCW candidate turned President Obama sold America a bill of goods and there really is no such thing as “change.” Well there is, but it turns out that the “change” Obama was talking about is what’s left in our collective pockets after taxes.

So here we are today in 2011, just a few short years after the last strike called by the UFCW, which was only settled because the owners wouldn’t budge and if it wasn’t settled quickly the rank and file were prepared to cross the picket lines and go back to work, and once again a weak union from an era gone by is calling secret meetings with their rank and file trying to gin up support for another strike.

I will say it here for all to read. If you idiots in the UFCW talk your members into going out on strike, all of you will lose your jobs. Plain and simple. Your union is once again selling you a bill of goods to justify its own existence.

Plain and simply put, the UFCW is paltry and weak and is no longer a factor in the real world of owner, labor relations. They make my groceries cost more, plain and simple.

America now knows that unions only serve to cost the consumer more money out of their pockets. Again, times are tough. If a market chain opened up tomorrow where people had to go pick their own vegetable and cut their own meat to save a buck, they would.

Great service has gone the way of the Dodo in favor of lower prices. I have seen WinCo markets that look like open air markets in Tijuana, staffed with employees that barely speak English, but their isles are packed with shoppers.

So before you UFCW saps go out on strike and quite possibly lose your jobs, pull your heads out of your collective bargaining asses and take a look around. JD

Doomsday Reset to October 21 According to Harold Camping

With any luck the only thing that will happen on October 21 is that Harold Camping will meet his maker. Look at the guy. He is an old fossil. I can’t understand why anyone would listen to this idiot in the first place. This charlatan has cost a lot of people a lot of money. He should be flogged and ran out of town on a rail.

The Californian preacher insisted his prediction was only five months off, but revealed he felt so terrible when the world failed to end as he had proclaimed on Saturday that he left home and took refuge in a motel with his wife.

The world will now be consumed by a fireball on October 21 and 200 million Christians will be carried up to heaven, according to Mr Camping.

In the lead-up to May 21 Family Radio International, his independent ministry, spent millions on more than 5,000 billboards and 20 vehicles plastered with the Judgment Day message.

Much of the money came from donations, with some believers draining their bank accounts and giving away possessions.

The 89-year-old retired engineer previously declared the apocalypse would happen in 1994. When it didn’t materialise he blamed a mathematical error.

Jeff Hopkins spent heavily on petrol money driving back and forth from Long Island to New York City with an ominous sign on top of his car warning of the apocalypse.

The former television producer, 52, said: ‘I’ve been mocked and scoffed and cursed at and I’ve been through a lot with this lighted sign on top of my car.

‘I was doing what I’ve been instructed to do through the Bible, but now I’ve been stymied. It’s like getting slapped in the face.’

South Beach Classics on Discovery Channel

TLC and Discovery Channel morph into “Reality Central”

I don’t get it, and its not that I do not enjoy a couple of the shows in the current lineup of shows presented by The Learning Channel and The Discovery Channel.

However, when is enough enough? “Dirty Jobs” is kind of fun to watch because Mike Rowe is such a likable guy. Not to mention that there is some educational value because Mike shows Americans what we all do to make our lives a little better.

But shows like the new “South Beach Classics” where Ted Vernon and his over endowed Amazonian wife Robin restore and sell classic cars in Miami Beach looks to be the straw that broke the camels back for me.

Doing a quick Google Search on the show, the first hit that came back was Ted Vernon’s website, where he has posted a bio that reads like an “almost was” which of course is worse than being a “has been.”

The bio reads like a bad story of a man that has for his entire life, been trying to be famous. He has “starred in” a bunch of mostly self produced “B” movies that I have never heard of, but nonetheless has managed to get a small bio on IMDb.

One has to figure that it was his list of stellar movie making that landed him his wife Robin. If and when you see a picture of these two standing together, like me you would probably be looking for a copy of todays newspaper and a ransom note in the picture because it looks like he may have kidnapped her.

On a side note, nothing fascinates me more than these fossilized old geezers that walk around with wives that could be their grand daughters.

She married you because she loves you . . . yeah right.

Discovery Channel should make a reality show about that subject.

So it looks like Ted Vernon finally may have found his fame and fortune.

But Ted can count on one thing. I won’t be watching because I am tired of rehashed shows about old men that walk around yelling at employees but still have to suck up to their hot wife. JD

Lady Gaga Goes David Bowie

Okay, for all of you dopey Lady Gaga fans that think that she is doing something original, think again. David Bowie did the whole “androgynous” thing forty years ago. I put a link to the definition of “androgynous” for all of you lops out there that don’t know the meaning of the word.

David Bowie started the whole thing back in the Ziggy Stardust years in 1972. The media at the time was asking whether he was a boy or a girl, which actually was part of a lyric in the song “Rebel Rebel.”

Bowie readily admits that it was all contrived and the motivator was making money, much to the dismay of Bowie fans that were stupid enough to think he was doing it because it was who really he was.

So I found some old pictures of David Bowie and a new one of Lady Dipshit, and I will you be the judge. The only difference I can see is Bowie didn’t make an ass of himself in the process of making millions. JD
