The Rich Dunce with Good Hair


In case you're unfamiliar with the story, I'll summarize this event in the only way I know how: the rapture of song.

The following lyrics are intended to be set to the tune of the theme to Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which was of course written by famous rappist Willard C. Smith.

Now this is a story all about how
The Romney campaign got run out of town
He tried to take a minute
To discuss test scores
But ended up offending minorities some more

On the West Philadelphia campaign stage
The candidate was boo'd by blacks and gays
Holding up picket signs outside of the school
Every one of them thinking 'hey, this guy's a tool'
But a couple of folks
Who say they are poor
Expect the nominee to knock on their door
They got the impression that he didn't care
About poor students who survived on welfare

He hopped on his bus, told the driver to go
(The rig was pretty big and the decals tasteful)
You might think that this kind of campaign gaffe was rare
But nah, Romney does this shit everywhere

He pulled out of the lot running from all the haters
He'll try to combat his negatives later
Maybe he can talk of
The economy
But his response to the Bain ads has been kind of weak

The Subtle Differences Between #Occupy and the Tea Party

Let's discuss the difference between Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party. This first image, for examle, indicates the general reception of the Tea Party by the powers that be, vis-à-vis their initial demonstrations:

Here we see the line-up for the official FoxNews sponsored Tea Parties.

And here's an image indicative the of the general reception of Occupy protestors:

Here we see an Iraq War veteran who's been shot in the head, reportedly with a
tear gas canister, in the streets of Oakland

The differences are subtle, I know. Maybe video might clarify. Here's a government official lashing out  and attacking the Tea Party:


Contrast that with government officials responding to OWS:


Can you see it? No? Jeez. Look -- the Occupy guys are total hippies! In the first picture, check out that stoner on the left with the giant earrings. What are those made of, tusks? Hey, jackass, go get a job! Tea Party supporters, on the other hand, are more like Glenn Beck. Family men. With jobs.

And those Oakland protesters, what dicks. They were saying some very mean-spirited things, and being quite loud about it. It looks like they may have been obstructing pedestrians, too, which is completely illegal. And rude.

There isn't any video of it (conveniently enough) yet, but the Oakland police said the protesters were throwing rocks, bottles and paint at them. It very much scuffed and otherwise defaced their body armor -- which, I might add, was paid for by taxpayers. I mean, tear gas may be too dangerous for warfare, but common decency has its limits.

Think about that the next time you see one of these "peaceful protests" in the news. Hippy.
