The park is clean but empty, the protesters are roaming the streets hoping they will be able to re-enter. A court hearing is taking place this afternoon to decide if they can or not and under what conditions if they can.

I’d suggest getting help. Like e.g. How to Break Your Addiction to a Person
I know how to handle it.
I’ve had stalkers before.
Really? How many showed up for the Tea Party event in DC? The one where they did not pitch tents, got permits and cleaned up their own trash?
When you hang out in an echo chamber you begin to think “everybody” agrees with you.
Alcoholics think everybody drinks, because everyone they know drinks.
Wait, are you implying that the reason I am sure that everyone has gone crazy has something to do with these nice upholstered walls my apartment has …
Speaking of echo chambers, Ralph has brown stuff on his nose at TC.
(snort)
Nose, lips, cheeks, chin, ears . . .
can someone answer these questions
when did people lose these rights
to sleep in their own homes or apts without drums and being surrounded by violence
to walk on the sidewalk with stepping in human waste
to run a legal business without harassment
to go to work in peace
to not have to worry that if a crime is committed in another part of the city that the police will be too busy due to the owies to respond in a timely manor
what has the tea party to do with it. They protested legally, cleaned up after themselves and left in a timely manor, and had a clear message.
Two entirely different protests
and the right to live with out the stink
http://pacoenterprises.blogspot.com/2011/11/occu-pu.html
The Tea Party does have something to do with it. The left’s reaction to it is the primary reason their movement hasn’t gained more traction outside of the left.
They trained America to think that one bad TP egg fried the whole movement, and now they are offended when people use a dozen bad OWS eggs to fry their movement. Rev. Wright had a saying…the chickens are coming home to roost. Ha!
Well, to be fair, if you go posting comments over there, you deserve what you get. She thrives on fighting, but ignoring her drives her batshit crazy. I prefer the latter. My 2 cents.
She’s been waiting for days to post that, I’m sure, just biding her time to come out and try to pick another fight.
Impotence; it’s not just for the menz anymore.
Impotent and irrelevant. It’s why Snooki’s angry every single day.
DO NOT PICK ON Snooki!
I have to wonder who Myiq is working with.
Myiq, I think you’ve been tinfoiled. LOLOLOL.
Seriously?
Took a trip over there and am highly amused by her rants re you.
Enjoyed her site in 08 but she lost me soon after.
“You’ve lost.”
Really? What has been “lost”? What have they “won”? When I look around all I see is the whole country losing because of the ridiculous policies coming from this administration.
if you did that Hawaian streak , maybe she would feel better
“blogs we like?”
hmmm…time for a new category?
“Blogs that hate us for disagreeing with them?”
Somebody really needs to start a blog just for venting. A blog like, “Why the Hell did I Go Read that Blog??
“Blogs That Live in La-La-Land with Puppies & Babies?”
You don’t think she knows, you know, who’s paying us myiq?
My favorite bit:
What does Myiq have against poor and unemployed middle class people protesting the inequity of the system caused by the rich?
OWS has nothing to do with the poor and unemployed middle class people, so whether myiq is for or against them is irrelevant.
If you wanted to help the poor or the unemployed you wouldn’t protest wall street. You’d protest DC politics and policies. And WTF does camping have to do with anything. And a whole infrastructure designed to keep any coherent message from being constructed. And a policy to pretend not to favor any particular policies or politicians, while only protesting the party out of power. And why protest wall street when you have the very best representative and symbol of everything that is wrong with the current policies and approach, the wall street president. And WTF is with the cult, obvious programming technique, of the human mic crap. Etc., etc., etc.
If it looks like a cult, and smells like a cult, and acts like a cult. Guess what. You’re a cult. Evidenced by the reactions of the cult members to simple questions and some fun making of their stupidity. QED
I have a problem with WATB rich kids.
WATB is my new favorite acronym.
RD and Ralph now repeating the “rumor” that there was a conference call with 18 mayors, and that the “cleansing” of that many OWS sites is being coordinated with the Dept of Homeland Security.
Paranoid much?
And so what? All the Occupados are coordinating an attack / protest on Thursday. Maybe these cities SHOULD try to stop it.
Three points is a correlation? RD must be the worst scientist ever.
Just now getting caught up, but I have been following along via my phone since about 8:00 this morning. Had orientation.
All I can say about what’s gone down is: WOW!
&
I can’t believe how many people are just reptilian-ly stupid about our Constitution. It means whatever they want it to mean, apparently. WTF?
They probably got that idea from Dear Reader- who thinks the Constitution is old and outdated.
I think the Constitution is old and outdated, too. I’d like to re-write it. But I’d like to include the consensus of most of America before doing so, and I don’t want a party or ideological group in charge of the process. We need a way to incorporate more direct democracy and change the layout in Washington. My best idea is Congress-by-jury-pool.

Frank Miller weighed in last week. Missed it at the time: http://frankmillerink.com/2011/11/anarchy
owies plan for tomorrow.
seems like it restricts the right of others
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/11/ows_plans_escalation_in_new_york.html
There should be a decision on the TRO any time now
Some people were accusing the cops of brutality and claiming there was no excuse for raiding the camp in the wee hours of the morning. Just for the record, there is a reason for this. You try to catch people off guard so as to avoid violent confrontations. When you have a hysterical mob salivating for a confrontation, you diffuse the situation by giving them time to calm down. This is for the safety of the officers, but also for the safety of the protesters.
Frank “Miller, best-known for Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, 300, and Sin City, introduces his post with the words: “Everybody’s been too damned polite about this nonsense” before launching into his tirade.
He writes: “Occupy” is nothing short of a clumsy, poorly-expressed attempt at anarchy, to the extent that the “movement” – HAH! Some “movement”, except if the word “bowel” is attached – is anything more than an ugly fashion statement by a bunch of iPhone, iPad wielding spoiled brats who should stop getting in the way of working people and find jobs for themselves” it reads.”
“One site Comicbookmovie.com, has published an open letter to Miller, which ends “From what I can tell based on conversations with fellow comic book fans, articles, comments, box office returns, and critical reception of your work in the last 10 years, I am in the majority of folks who want you to just go away now. We are the The Goddamn 99% of people who don’t give a goddamn about you anymore.” http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog/2011/nov/14/frank-miller-occupy-movement-rant
They really do not want to be told they are idiots. Comic books fans are angry with the person who does the hard work to entertain them. Are they able to comprehend anything?
Just got a text from OWS that the judge ruled in their favor. They are calling for an immediate occupation and attendees to come help before the city rules.
Before the city appeals, rather.
The judge has ruled that the tents can go back.never mind, false alarm
Do the business owners affected have any recourse if the campers are let back in? Can they sue?
No ruling yet
Still waiting
Either way, “you’ve lost” /snark
I gotta feeling the City won but the judge is holding the order to let them get ready for the reaction.
Isn’t Zucotti a private park? I was thinking the judge was going to rule that the property managers had to go through a formal eviction process.
The Bloomberg action WAS from a formal complaint from the property owners.
Oh—and the ACLU judge has been removed from the decision-making process. Different judge chosen randomly.
How can that be, I thought OWS won? At least according to some.
I just got another text telling people to bring their tents, sleeping bags, and signs to Liberty Plaza.
Not saying it’s true, but that’s what they are telling their followers. The GlobRev feed shows still waiting.
They also just reported the ruling in their favor on the Facebook page. Again, take that for what it’s worth.
They are apparently trying to bring people in, but it’s a cynical way to do it, to lie to them. GlobRev feed STILL shows waiting, and no one but police in the park.
And just got a text confirming ruling is unconfirmed.
this is off topic but a good day for the country
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57325280-503544/senators-introduce-stock-act-to-stop-insider-trading-in-congress/
Excellent. Well, it’s a start. I guess the daylight on that travesty was even too much for those cronies. Too bad OWS don’t protest those mentioned, since many are Dems. It wouldn’t be good for Obama.
But how is Mr. Pelosi going to make a living? If he doesn’t have inside information and a wife controlling which legislation is moved upon to guarantee profitability of his stock trades how can he make money? They already took the plane away and now this.
Good for Brown & Gillibrand!
I count 75 NYPD officers currently in Zuccotti, essentially surrounded by 1,000 people who want in. #OWS
Embattled Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, speaking in an interview with the BBC (excerpted on The Takeaway radio program–audio of Quan starts at the 5:30 mark), casually mentioned that she was on a conference call with leaders of 18 US cities shortly before a wave of raids broke up Occupy Wall Street encampments across the country. “I was recently on a conference call with 18 cities across the country who had the same situation. . . .”http://capitoilette.com/2011/11/15/oakland-mayor-jean-quan-admits-cities-coordinated-crackdown-on-occupy-movement/
The polling turned as OWS became nuttier so they had to shut them down or take a polling hit. I knew it. I wonder if they are smart enough to understand they got sold out.
But, but, but, we’ve lost. At least that’s what some blogs are telling us.
Which 18?
She only seems to say “who had the same situation”. Then talks about some wanting to separate from anarchists. Who knows? Best guess are those looking at the end of their careers.
When you have 18 mayors being coordinated to shut you down out of the WH or DNC (I know same difference) because you are hurting the cause and are a nuisance, you have not won. And if an idiot like Quan is spilling the beans on BBC you are doubly f’ed.
RD’s claiming those mayors may be cooperating with the Dept of Homeland Security.
She’s practically salivating over the possibility.
Good grief.
If she’s right that proves . . . what?
That OWS are domestic terrorists?
That health issues are also national security issues arguably. I think a rational person knows this.
My wildest dream: That OWS will see the light and move to the White House to protest? /snark
“That OWS are domestic terrorists?”
Well, in Oregon they were flat out building weapons and blogging that they planned to use them against cops and bankers.
I have to admit this is great country. Only in America can you camp out in a city park, build weapons, and brag about over throwing the whole system.
Biological warfare
And a threat to the human gene pool.
Ok….had to come back and clarify the DHS rumor:
Apparently (reading other sources), that info comes from a Michael Moore tweet on the OWS site. He’s suspicious that Obama was out of the country when this happened, and the coordination “suggests” DHS involvement.
Michael Moore. That’s where the rumor started. Sheesh
You say that like Michael Moore is not above reproach. /snark
NYC wins!
FOX and CNN agree
Rule of law restored to NYC. Yay!
Just reported: Judge rules for the City of New York. OWS loses.
Well well well
YES
Well let’s see if they can figure out they have just been used for diversion and when they became inconvenient they were dumped. The leaderless “leaders” will head back to SEIU and Obama for America offices their work done. I earned by beat up old cynic credentials honestly (mostly).

I’ve had about 2 hours sleep since Operation Cleansing began.
Imma gonna take a nap.
I’ll be back later to post about the decision and what it means.
Zzzzzz. But don’t forget, “you’ve lost” /snark
Just read the motion. You were right; it came down to time place, and manner.
I go over ow and then to the Con. but its amazing how self-centered I find the writing there. Reminds me so much of our Pres. I’ll never forget the hatred spewed there against her own mother for having an opinion that differed from hers. Its kinda an indication of an impending breakdown I think. It was only a year ago that we were being told about the basement remodeling for weeks and weeks. Thats when I left. I missed the original shebang when everybody split. I’m stickin here, I feel better with the losers anyway.
We losers got to stick together. 🙂
Hey, losing is an art AND a talent!
We are true arteeests
over not ow
The committed OWSers on the usual supportive blogs seem to be having some cognitive dissonance regarding the executive branch of the federal government coordinating the shutdown of the occupy camps. They are saying it is all dirty rumors from conservative news sources (even when presented with Mayor Quan’s blabbermouth interview on BBC) and not true. They seem to really have believed that this was what the WH wanted them to do (DK), to the fantasy that they had Homeland Security spooked. Their belief that the WH was actually going to allow them to disrupt Obama’s biggest contributors on Wall St is beyond naive.
Yeah, well. they’re lying about conservative news sources, as usual.
Michael Moore tweeted the DHS rumor on the OWS site, and it went from there.
But you’re right about their naivete. Big time.
