Title: They sure seem this dumb

OWS is over after Tuesday:

Friends, mediation with the drummers has been called off. It has gone on for more than 2 weeks and it has reached a dead end. The drummers formed a working group called Pulse and agreed to 2 hrs/day at times during the mediation, and more recently that changed to 4 hrs/day. Itâ€™s my feeling that we may have a fighting chance with the community board if we could indeed limit drumming and loud instrumentation to 12-2 PM and 4-6 PM, however that isnâ€™t whatâ€™s happening.

Last night the drumming was near continuous until 10:30 PM at night. Today it began again at 11 AM. The drummers are fighting among themselves, there is no cohesive group. There is one assemblage called Pulse that organized most of the drummers into a group and went to GA for formal recognition and with a proposalâ€¦

At this point we have lost the support of allies in the Community Board and the state senator and city electeds who have been fighting the city to stave off our eviction, get us toilets, etc. On Tuesday there is a Community Board vote, which will be packed with media cameras and community members with real grievances. We have sadly demonstrated to them that we are unable to collectively 1) keep our space and surrounding areas clean and sanitary, 2) keep the park safe, 3) deal with internal conflict and enforce the Good Neighbor Policy that was passed by the General Assemblyâ€¦

In the meantime, there are other drummers who refuse to acknowledge OWS or the GA as a body they are interested in, and these drummers show up on site when they fell like it and drum when they feel like it. Over the weekend, it was for 10 or 11 hours straight, until late night.

So in the meantime, while we are grateful for the negotiations and positive relations with Pulse, we recognize that the issue of whether weâ€™re evicted over drumming or not remains. For that reason we are asking for people to show up during quiet hour shifts, to ensure that drumming does not start.

For Want of a Nail

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Or drumming.

Hippie 1: We need this protest thing to be super successful. Anyone have any suggestions?
Hippie 2: I think that in order to have success the first thing that we should do is win the hearts and minds of the people.
Hippie 1: Good plan. Any ideas of how to accomplish this?
Hippie 3: Act like idiots, steal from each other, sexual assault each other, forget about hygiene, leave trash everywhere, be obnoxious, and bang on drums?
Hippies 1, 2, and 3: BRILLIANT!!!!

All they needed was Christopher Walken in the background saying, "And more cowbell! We've got to have more cowbell baby!"

That's right, OWS--you just failed KINDERGARTEN. Hell, you can't even use the bathroom properly. Your parents must be so proud.

Post by: Karin on October 25, 2011, 07:39:39 AM: Well, even to enter Kindergarten (much less graduate), you are required to use the bathroom properly, and have some concept of "quiet time." So it's even worse, Sparky.

My bets were on money being the catalyst for implosion, but it may well be the drumming. I know it would drive me batshit crazy. I can't stand the drum solos at concerts.

I'm sure when it starts fracturing over the drumming, there will be plenty of discrepancies in the funds on hand and all the normal recriminations and outcry will follow shortly.

Sadly, these are the guys that have run the nation since January 2007 with the same results.

"You Sum biches couldn't close an umbrella "

Pretty much sums up their ability to run anything.
