I Miss Idiocracy

I wish Sarah Palin was running in 2012.  From what I remember in 2008, the country was headed into a real life re-enactment of the movie "Idiocracy".  Besides, Saturday Night Live could use the bump in the ratings with Tina Fey sketches of the fool from Alaska.  Even when in the shadows of the Republican presidential goat rope, Palin is in the nation's consciousness.  Walking down Hollywood Blvd, I did not expect this DIY sign on the sidewalk.

Either You Are A Rebel Or A Slave

"Occupy Los Angeles" flyer on post at intersection of E. 1st Street and Central Ave.  Just wondering how much the Occupy Wall Street movement will catch on this fall with the rest of the country.  The message is right on and the method of peaceful protest is probably more effective than anything else.  Problem is the financial institutions have politicians from both sides of the aisle on their payroll.  A populist movement eventually needs to align itself with either party in order to gain any ground with the nationwide electorate.
