I wonder if OWS will have an accounting of that $500K they deposited.
I suspect by the time the IRS gets done with them they will.

The guy put the room on his credit card and I bet he submits it for reimbursement. Compliments of Deloitte??? He doesn't like tents, but he may have to get used to living in one if he doesn't have a job when he gets back to Cali. What an idiot to make it public for his employer to see.
OOPS! Didn't see yours before I posted mine!

Sorry.

Story already started on this post:

OWS Protesters Occupy a Hotel Suite at $700 a night, compliments of a 1%ter.

Sorry for the double post. Not sure how to delete a thread.

And there's good old patronizing Newt...telling them they need baths and to find jobs.

Don't these guys realize that, as money-making citizens, they're obligated to support the ruling class and not some lower/middle-class movement that thinks we're all equally entitled to .... hm.
Jobs? Congressional members who aren't owned by special interests? The ability to afford health care?
Jeesh...

I wonder if the OWS folks in NYC know that their leaders are sleeping well at night in the nearby posh hotels ?

Look people, Communism, Capitalism, Socialism, there's always going to be those that live in the palaces and just live large in general.

The trick is to make sure it's you and yours.

What's the big deal?

More class distinction. Honestly, who didn't see this coming on #OccupyDayOne ?
That video is a riot!

That was so chock full of goodness I'm not sure which is my favorite part.

It's a toss up between the look on the guy's face when Sam says, "So you've been here 8 weeks and you already have a ghetto?"

LOL!

Or it might be the iPad guy who wants everyone to have "access" to technology and whatever gadgets but is not willing to share his. His is "personal" property, he's against "private" property. No, really, there IS a difference!

Or it could have been the laughable hypocrisy of holding meetings in the Duetsche Bank to talk about protesting banks.

Or it might just have been the statue with the port a potty.

I normally can't stand Jon Stewart but this piece was hysterical.
