Unoccupied

Oh, snap!  

I guess nights are getting a little nippy.   I saw a video a few weeks ago at which a homeless person camping out amongst the OWS protesters said he was just happy that the cops would probably leave him alone since they're not arresting the protesters -- but that he thought they'd be outta there the first cold wind that came through.  From the article:

These are the damning images that prove the anti-capitalist protest that has closed St Paul’s Cathedral is all but deserted at night.

Footage from a thermal imaging camera taken late at night reveals just a fraction of the makeshift camp was occupied.

An independent thermal imaging company, commissioned by the Daily Mail, captured these pictures after similar footage from a police helicopter found only one in ten tents were occupied after dark.

What, you mean the same dedicated idealists who are there largely to get their student loans written off don't have the testicular fortitude to endure a little discomfort?

Color me shocked.

Rage on, little Marxists!!! Rage, rage against the dying of iPhone battery.

"Rage, rage against the dying of iPhone battery."

What's the term? Oh yeah, "ROTFL".
