Occupy 90210 to Protest “Big Money” During President’s Visit
Occupy 90210 protesters will gather more than a mile from the home of a daytime drama TV show producer’s mansion Wednesday night when President Barack Obama visits the home for a $35,800-per-ticket fundraising dinner.
The group will gather at Will Rogers Memorial Park — which is indeed in the Beverly Hills 90210 ZIP code — to protest what they call the “corrupting role that Big Money plays in politics.”

“While Obama dines at a $35,800 a plate fundraiser in the home of a 1% TV producer, we will be one and a half miles away occupying Will Rogers Memorial Park,” according to the Occupy 90210 Facebook page.
Obama’s fundraising campaign in the run-up to the 2012 election in November is expected to shatter records. The fundraising effort in LA will benefit the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee for Obama’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
“The buzz is that Barack Obama will have the first billion dollar campaign expenditure,” said NBC4 political analyst, Sherry Bebitch-Jeffe.
The Occupy 90210 event also serves as a fundraiser to support Hunger Action LA’s Veggie Voucher Program.
90210 is Spoony’s backyard. No word yet on which event he’ll be attending.

Obama is in California?
I thought I sensed a disturbance in the Force. I figured it was just gas from that chili dog I had for lunch.
when i read the article , I laughed so hard. talk about no truth in advertising.
But it will sound good to the other owies. Look, See how we are standing up to the big money people and the politicians.
You can not fix stupid
I have been reading about how backtrack is going to make the insurance companies pay for birth control products and distribute them for free. Kind of like believing in unicorns. Nothing is ever free, somebody always pays.
I have decided I want to bring a lawsuit for discrimination.
If having birth control products given to people who choose to have sex and do not want the consequences is going to be free.
I smoked for years and the government taxed every pack I ever bought. The smoking is part of the cause of my lung problems. It was my choice to smoke and I feel that the medicine for the consequences should be free. If I do not get this, I am a victim of discrimination.
Snort!! And touche, Helen.
you can not make this up

That’s how I want to die.
Dude’s last words – “My ride is here. Can you wrap this up to go?”
LOL
Now that is a restaurant practicing truthful labeling.
having been married to a bartender for many years, I can say that these words should be listened to.

WTF?
as I said yesterday it is not a good time for me when it comes to violence against women.
This peta ad no matter what their so-called reasoning is just wrong. Any so-called feminist that think this is ok should be classified as the worst enemy of other women
Am I wrong here, or is this ad basically directed at dudes? It sounds like they’re saying, “become a vegan and you can f*** the s*** out of your girl.”
And why in the hell is he making an injured woman go out in her underwear to get him more vegetables?
Watching the 11pm news.
backtrack POed a lot of southern California drivers tonight. He is staying at the same hotel where Whitney Houston died and the security is tying up traffic. Cars are stopped and standing for over 30 minutes at 9PM at night.
So if the OWS is protesting a mile away can it still be considered a protest? Sounds like another silly occupy to me. Why not perch on the fundraiser host’s front lawn like they do with, gasp, Republican rich people ?
Nice little rant over at BigGov.

The rapes and assaults are well documented, why does the Obama media ignore them ?
