A PSA for the failed #OccupyDC barn-builders.

Well… shed builders, at least. Seriously, that’s not even close to being a barn.

Moving along: as the link above notes, some of the people ‘occupying’ DC tried to put up a wooden structure today… and, apparently, was not able to get the blessed thing even half-done before the cops finally decided to put this exercise in sustained disdain for property rights out of its misery. As I understand it, before the end public urination was featured… which is how you know that it was an official Occupation, apparently. I swear, these people have absolutely no control over their bowels…

Anyway. What struck me about this particular bit of nonsense was in how long it took them to get their structure half-built. Far too long: according to their own agitprop they had eleven whole hours to do the assembly. They didn’t need eleven hours. They didn’t need one.

No, seriously. Watch.

Thirty-three minutes, from scratch, complete with paint job. Now, admittedly the Occupiers didn’t have a woodworking shop on the site – but guess what? They didn’t need one at the site. They just needed to have done the assembly and prep work ahead of time, put the structure together, taken it apart again, clearly labeled everything… then brought it to the site and had it up in half an hour. Because, you know, the guys in that video above could have done that without breaking a sweat.

But then, that’s why the guys in that video above are the ones who have actual jobs, while Occupiers are the ones who defecate on police cars.

    I’m not pleased that Wall Streeters took risk that benefited themselves if they paid off but put us on the hook if they failed. (I know the TARP money has been paid pack, but the Wall Street crowd got funding at their darkest hours at levels that were WAAAY cheaper than the alternatives then available.) Duh.

    But would I trust these clowns to improve the country’s affairs when I see how they run a tiny camp?

    Umm….No.

    Sometimes a blind squirrel finds an acorn.

    I’m still hoping the OWS folks will discover The Neighborhood Precinct Committeeman Strategy and unite inside their respective local Dem Party committee meetings — and tear the Dem Party asunder. ;-)

    Maybe Thom Hartmann at RT, the Russian Federation’s news outlet, will continue to urge progressives to do so. Let’s let him explain it:

    I hope the Occupy [insert name of city] movement “pivots” into an Occupy Democrat Party movement.

    Thank you.

    It will of course end badly, with the taxpayers footing the bill for their incompetence. Read about it here for a good laugh:
