DISUNION SQUARED

I passed through Union Square on Wednesday. The park on the square happens to be the fallback point of Occupy Wall Street, but the OWS crowd was a little hard to spot. Oh there were a few vendors in the business of selling “radical” T-Shirts and pins, proceeds to either benefit the occupation or him, but the rest of the occupation was hard to find.

The breakdancers working for tips weren’t with OWS, but what about the clown with pink hair? The men playing chess for money obviously weren’t, that was too capitalist an activity. The NYU students sitting around and drinking soda? The guy playing jazz on a sax? The Halal mafia vendor sending smoke and a burnt smell from his cart? The dogwalkers? The artists drawing cartoons of tourists? The vendors at the farmer’s market unloading ostrich meat and gourmet goat cheese?

Bill Clinton once said that he looked forward to the day when whites were a minority in America. While he won’t live to see such a time, a demographic milestone that should send a tingle up Slick Willie’s leg was just reached.  Writes The New York Times:

Ronald Reagan once said that it was fairly easy to sum up government’s view of how to handle the economy.  “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it,” Reagan said.

Last week, the Senate gave We, the People, a clear and unmistakable illustration of why we need to sack all the Democrats, and a bunch of the RINOs, too. They voted down not one, not two, but five budget bills, four of which would actually have done America some good. This comes as we move into the fourth year that the Senate has failed to do its duty by passing a budget, leaving the country economically adrift.

It’s a message taking its birth in an era in which an American Government works to stamp out Catholicism:  “The family that Facebooks together stays together.”

Facebook dominates ‘in your face’ news today now that its going public has made billionaires out of a thousand, including Irish rock star Bono, now the world’s richest musician.
