Oakland Owies: Just Like the Tea Party?

Since Big Guy’s in Cannes with the boy:

bo timmy cannes“This noose is getting uncomfortably tight, Big Guy.”  “Better you than me, Timmy.”

today’s report is going to focus on the OWIES in Oakland. 

These OWIES are unionized, and they are now on general strike, operating with Mayor Quan’s support and endorsement. She gave all city workers (with the exception of the police and fire fighters, thank goodness!) the day off to participate in the strike which shut down the Port of Oakland. Nice touch.

When things started going south into riot-zone territory, Mayor Jean Quan seemed to be having second thoughts and tried to reign her peeps in with urgent tweets: “Call my office! Right NOW!”

That “right away!” tactic hasn’t worked for Big Guy, and apparently it didn’t work for the Oakland brain trust either. In short order, the Oakland “Teem-ster” led “protest” went all “Tea Party” on her: (photos courtesy VerumSerum)

burnthiscity-500x749Uh, I don’t think that’s what Yeats had in mind. BTW, is that wee won aboard an $800 Bugaboo stroller? Another future OWIE.

ADDITION Occupy Wall Street OaklandOakland OWIES dressed in black and breaking windows: just like the London anarchists! How cool is that?

whole foods vandalismOh Noes! Graffiti defacing Whole Foods! This can’t be happening! Where am I going to get my organic wheat grass?

Meanwhile back at the New York birth place of the American OWIES, JWF has revealed some very disturbing facts about the POWS. Among them: the group is not only raising funds, butt using a big time Wall Street bank (recently purchased by 2 big time capitalist pigs) and using a revolutionary Marxist front (Alliance for Global Justice: non-profit of course) to manage their on line donations.

It’s hard to know what to make of all this, butt at least I think it puts me into a position to offer some fairly solid advice to this conflicted young OWIE:

college or fire depart

I’m going to say “Fire Department”.

Yep. Definitely, fire department.

PS: I thought you’d like to see Lady M at the Youth in the Arts award ceremonies. Thank goodness not all of the kids are OWIES.

Whoops! Someone forgot to finish painting the bottom half of the skirt. Or maybe it’s just an uncompleted photoshoppe.

  7. Thanks for this post, MOTUS.  I wish that I could capture in a few words how awful the situation is in Zuccotti Park.  Drums beat incessantly, and tambourines are constantly being played.  People are urinating and defecating in the park, and having sex in the open.  The businesses in this area are literally being destroyed by the occupation.  These Fleabaggers may try to convince themselves that they are occupying Wall Street, but what they are really doing is occupying an urban area where people live and work.  They are destroying an entire community with their actions.  I think that it is reasonable to say that Michael Bloomberg abdicated his responsibilites as mayor the moment he decided to let all this go on in his city.  Frankly, I don't see any end in sight, and this realization depresses me.

    Re: the useful idiot who "dreams of writing." Makes me think of the introduction to one of Stephen King's books, in which he describes how at parties and social gatherings he is inevitably cornered by someone who says, "You know, I've always wanted to write." He responds by saying, if you want to write, you write. It doesn't matter what kind of crappy job you have to hold down to pay the bills; you make time for writing and you write. King himself worked as a janitor when he got the idea for <span>Carrie</span>.

    Of course, I wish King would just write and keep out of politics, but he's got a point. You work a job, whatever job you can get, to pay the bills, and when you have time left over, you make time for your craft. And if you're good, and you're selling something the public wants (like King) then eventually you can become part of that eeeeeeevil 1%.

    <span>Style note: The First Lady wears a Moschino brush stroke jacket,</span><span> paired with what appears to be a coordinating dress. </span>

    From this I found myself focusing on the word "stroke", as in, "to have a".  I also note that they cannot say if the dress is coordinating or not...

    ReplyDelete
  19. The jacket by Moschino was first made infamous by Ugly Betty on the show of the same name.  It didn't look any better on her.  Definitely Fashion Victim material.

    She is looking very Aunt Esther here.  That bold white whatever at the bottom of the skirt is like flashing a spotlight on her bowed legs.

  34. Yes, "The Lord helps those who helps themselves," is a quote from Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac.

    It was originally written by some guy, Algernon Sydney in 1698, in an article entitled, Discourses on Government.

    So, there you have it.  Not in the Bible.  Some guy just made it up, and it stuck.

  38. This is what dingle-barry embraces. Mobs and violence. Anarchy. Overload the system, cause cities to go broke trying to control the mayhem and clean up after it so they have to go to the federal government and get strings-attached money.

    Butt the net RCP approval numbers are getting better for dear leader. Today it is minus 3.6 % and only three or four weeks ago it was minus 10% and dropping. If that's really the case, if Americans really approve of bonehead entitlement crybaby idiots living on the streets in filth and violence, approve of Solyndra and Fast and Furious, wholesale vote fraud, expensive vacays for the would-be dick-tater and his ho while 15% of the country is out of work, and turning the country into the economic model of East Germany or North Korea then the country is most certainly turning to a pile of cold turds.

  50. pbird, that comment is so profound and astute that it scares me. All joking aside, this uncontrolled anger and class warfare is taking our country to such a dark place that I can't bear to even think about it. O and his ilk would love the opportunity to inflict a police stae on us. Suspend all public gatherings, suspend elections. Oh yes, I can see where it could happen.

    I can't believe the mayor of Oakland encouraged this mayhem. I think all sane people should exit California immediately and let the loonies have what's left of it after they've trashed it. And be sure to wave buh-bye to Mayor Quan.

Actually I think there is a positive out of this negative - well a couple.  It shows how ridiculous these "idealogues" are and they are the face of the prog party.  It makes the Tea Party look exactly like what they are - law abiding, respectful people who are tired of the way things are but not trying to destroy everything in their site one minute - and having sex and smoking pot the next. It is easy for the mostly conservative Americans to pick a party - Tea Party versus Flea Party.

Haven't we all noticed that, whoever the frontrunner is, he or she gets exposed with a potential sinker. Bachmann led until it came out that her husband runs some kind of therapy for gays. Mitt got blasted for being Mormon and for his flip-flopping. Then Perry got hit. I'm sure that as soon as Cain looked like he was pulling ahead, they started digging.

  91. CCG, you reminded me of an incident that happened a few years ago and it explains why i'm so concerned if it comes to us against them.

    A good friend and I used to do cat rescue in Cleveland. I lived in a suburb that restricted residents to two pets/household, so Suz kept the cats and kittens in her basement and garden. Her next-door neighbor was a real piece of work who bred pit bulls and didn't take care of them. One of her dogs crawled under the 6-ft. fence between the yards and attacked a kitten, mangling her tail so badly it had to be amputated.

    I was incensed so the next time I was over to Suz's house I walked down the sidewalk and saw this neighbor sitting on her porch. I called out, "You need to do something about your dog." Before I knew what hit me, she flew off the porch and hit me in the chest with the flat of her hand so hard that it knocked me to the ground and left a bruise in the shappe of a hand for days. And she was ready to hit me again if another neighbor hadn't stepped in.

    My point in telling this is a fear that we who are civilized and expect others to behave in a civil manner will be caught by surprise and get the wind knocked out of us before we even know what happened. I'm afraid we won't know how to respond to people who think so differently and we'll be run over like a tractor on a bird's nest. While we're thinking, "Just wait til the next election", they're planning to burn us out.

    I don't like feeling paranoid, but when riots can happen in staid old London, then what will prevent them from occurring here? Sorry for being so pessimistic. I guess I'm looking for reassurances that our country is better than that.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I should add that the kitten recovered well and found a forever home with us. She's the sweetest, gentlest cat you can imagine and is so happy just to be alive, hopping around to squeals of joy. (She doesn't meow.)  She's a delight and a lesson in overcoming disabilities. With her little nub of a tail, we call her Bunny.

    Not to get all paranoid, but the leftists are afraid of guns, and we're not.  Get a gun.  I've never owned one, but I am seriously considering it.

  97. What I want to know is why those little thugs haven't been arrested for vandalism and destruction of private property. Those windows they are blithely shattering cost thousands of dollars. Is the mayor going to reimburse the tax-paying business owners for the permitted destruction of their property and the subsequent loss of business? Are the parents of these hooligans going to pay for their kiddies playtime? Doubtful. The fact that Obama and his hideous wife apparently support these criminals is all you need to say about this administration.

Not only are the protesters filled with greed and envy, they are destroying the property and livelihood of others.. Pot meet kettle.
    I protested the Viet Nam war in college, the fact that I had been to 3 funerals for schoolmates and friends by the time I was 19 was quite a motivator. Theaw New Age protesters are amateurs, albeit destructive amateurs.

  103. I am so sick of these whiny brats, moving in, wasting untold millions of taxpayer dollars, and leaving nothing but disaster in their wake.  Everywhere they go, they are utterly and completely unwelcome.

    And I'm none too fond of the OWIES, either.

  105. PortiaElizabeth -

    I have recently begun to fancy that the scales will drop from some of the protesters' eyes, when rape goes unreported, when the chefs get fed up at the "freeloaders", when protesters are the victims of theft at the hands of their compatriots - these are the things that might make capitalists out of these losers.  

    Something like this happened to the actor Jon Voight, who was a flaming lib and strongly anti-Vietnam war back in the day.  When the US pulled out, the Left ignored the massacre that occurred though they swore it would not happen.  This awakened Voight and he realized there was no honor in the Left - turns out they didn't give a crap about the people, after all.  He has been a strong voice for conservatism and Tea Party principles in the last few years.  I pray that this is the unintended consequence of this lawlessness - that people just get sick of living in filth and squalor and danger, go home, clean up, and get a job.

    I voted for Jimmy Carter my first time out of the gate.  Then I lived in Saudi Arabia when the hostages were taken, and saw at close range what happens when America is considered weak and rudderless.  I happened to be in the US when Reagan spoke at the RNC, the scales fell from my eyes, and I became a Republican.

    Of course Reagan was voted in, the Iranians knew they'd better get the hostages outta Teheran muy pronto because Reagan had said during the campaign, essentially, "Don't make me come over there!", and they left Iranian airspace during Reagan's inauguration ceremony.  I was listening on shortwave radio, and just began to sob.  The Saudis began to treat Americans much better, and life there was safer with a crazed cowboy in the Oval Office.  Life is better when things are orderly, and adults are in charge.

    At some point, I hope one of these STOOPID mayors who are allowing mayhem to rule get caught in the whirlwind and get a lesson in leadership.  I'm afraid murder will occur before this happens, though.

  111. Amazing that the mayor gives the day off to city workers, except for police and fire fighters who are needed to protect the public from the city workers!

    What a pc idiot.

  112. I read in our local paper that prizes are now given randomly in the local childrens' Halloween costume contest because last year "there were threats."

    We're descending into a South American nation.

  116. NBK, one of the reasons I feel such an attachment to this wonderful blog is the kinship of all the animal lovers and guardians here.

  117. MathMom, thank you for sharing that personal story. Your insights are greatly appreciated because you made the effort to actually be a part of history by recording your experiences and your thoughts. It seems one of the biggest hurdles our nation faces is the mass of citizens who drift through life like a leaf in the wind, never pausing to question events that impact their lives or to ask how they can help make the world a better place. Too many people would rather let Mikey do it.

  124. As someone who teaches writing at a junior college, I would recommend this guy join the fire department.

    As a homeowner, if I knew he would be responding to a fire call I would be especially glad my insurance is paid up.

    As a sometime consumer of fast food, I would find out which establishment was fortunate enough to employ him, and then I would choose not to eat there during his shift.

  125. Anyone is welcome to continue my parody of that Joplin song. I have verses beginning,

    Obama, won't you buy me a flat-screen TV?

    Obama, won't you buy me a college degree?

    Obama, won't you buy me a new picture phone? (in response to all those ads for free cell phones for people on food stamps)
