What was funny about the protest was that after the climbers came down, the NYPD had to figure out how to get the banner down too. I was thinking, "man, how are they going to get that thing down, those guys really did a pro job of rigging it." Then an NYPD Emergency Services truck showed up, apparently ready to deal with anything (the thing had a friggin' boat on the roof, ready to go). You know if your driving around the City with a boat on your roof, you are prepared... An NYPD climber got out, wearing almost the same gear as the guys they just arrested.

You dumb shits. My job is safe. My feelings aren't hurt, and neither is my paycheck or my bonus that's larger than your annual salary. I'm as left-wing as they come, but anyone who opposes this bailout doesn't understand how the economy works. Period. Just because your asses are poor doesn't mean you have to ignorant.

I suggest calling Clinton & shumer's DC offices and let them know if you are against the bailout. They are OUR representatives and they must know that if they vote against our wishes or they will not be re-elected.

attention all citizens of main street: leading politicians, pundits, and talking heads will be engaged in an all-out offensive in the coming hours and days to sell the bailout plan to US. leading tactics will include: conveying an unmistakable sense of urgency; demanding national unity in a time of crisis; employing fear-mongering tactics not seen since early 2003.
