The Occupy Portland movement. In all it’s mangled glory.
My lifelong friend, Arlo Stone, is on the other end of this video. A super clever and bright guy who is a COMMITTED Occupy guy. One of the founding members and one of the last true Occupiers in the city. Committed, passionate, and when you sit with him or talk he has a very CLEAR and DEFINABLE idea of what the movement is and where he would like to see it go.
Alas….
As we head into the deeper months of a year of the Occupy movement, it’s clear that the lack of leadership and organization has most of the country shaking their heads as they watch videos like these. HYSTERICAL? Yes. Misguided, no doubt.
My boy is UPSET about a homeless man who has stolen “Occupy Supplies”. That’s the only set up needed.
Say what you want about the Tea Party. I personally think they are on the other side of INSANE. But organization and the ability to conform to a belief set and follow through has them strangely IN CONTROL of the House, as Republican senior leadership is forced to cowtow to their crazy agenda.
Is it too late for the Occupy Movement? Time will tell. But natural leaders like Cornel West are DESPERATELY NEEDED in order to change the “face” of a movement that seems to be able now to be pawned off as misguided and lunatic fringe chaos.
Enjoy the video….. And much love to Arlo. A PASSIONATE and very intelligent man who is obviously frustrated.
FACT
There is only ONE way to eat these beauties. It’s ON THE WAY HOME, with hot mustard sauce balanced on your knee.
Consider it an “In-Car Appetism”.
Wait to get home, and these things are soggy or cold or both. A complete FAIL.
And don’t lie. When those things are in the bag in the passenger seat, they BECKON to you, like a junkie scramblin in their purse for another pharmaceutical.
For SUPER yum, get a girlfriend. They more than likely will dip and feed, if they are dope.
Don’t fight it.
That is all.
