WHO'S TRYING TO 'SPREAD THE WEALTH?' - Just A Minute Radio for Thursday 111020

Remarkable how ‘what goes around comes around.’

 

Little did we know three years ago that Mr. Obama’s famous conversation with “Joe, the Plumber” – which traveled around the campaign circuit for a while in 2008 and the ‘Real JOE” who – ran for office on his 15 minutes of fame, but lost – would reprise his visit in 2012, which he apparently fully intends to do.

 

Nonetheless the OWS – “Occupy Wall Street” crowd of protesters, who have launched their rather fuzzily-focused protesting campaign – timorously backed by former Speaker of the House Mrs. Nancy Pelosi – are on the move in various locations around the country.  [They even include such places as the State House in Columbia, South Carolina – but one can hardly tell, or stand the smell.]

 

An “off-shoot” of the NYC camp-out darlings, encouraged by Mayor “Doomberg” – Bloomberg to the initiate – have shown-up incognito in Virginia where President Obama has been taking his “Non – Political Campaign” – via the two Canadian-built Custom busses – as well as Air Force One (and Two as a back up) to get him there and bring him back.  The OWS gang apparently swiped the truck keys to the vehicle transporting the President’s podiums (Or should that with proper plural Latin usage rules be podia?) and his audio equipment and hijacked the truck to a Richmond, VA location where it was found by the Capitol Hill newspaper minions and reported to the Secret Service.

 

So a Wall St. Wag – editor James Taranto, of the Wall St. Journal’s “BEST OF THE WEB TODAY”  feature  said they were merely – or possibly – electing to follow the President’s 2008 advice given in the heat of campaign that “the wealth should be spread around.”  I suppose that’s the defense to be mounted if they are apprehended and brought to justice in the Old Dominion.

 

However… the OWS seems not to be fully embraced by the left – or at least a part of the LEFT of the upwardly turned noses. (Their olfactory presence due to their un-hygienic practices in the NYC parks as well as the SC State House grounds seems to mark them as, well…stinky! 

 

Possibly there will be some kind of rescue effected by the Good Mayor of Gotham and his followers.  I’m sure the people of downtown NY don’t really care to have the OWS presence around in close proximity – or upwind. Perhaps Mrs. Pelosi can prevail upon her Father’s many political friends in Baltimore to provide a tank-car load of Eau-de-East River that would dilute the intensity of this sudden rush of folk who want to join the OWS ranks.

 

It’s a rather mephitic problem not susceptible to immediate resolution but I’m sure Mr. Obama and crew will find a way to place the blame on some other party.

 

We’ll expect to be back tomorrow.

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

WHO’S TRYING TO ‘SPREAD THE WEALTH?’

            Just a Minute: Appears ‘The World's Greatest Orator,’ who’s concluding a ‘not political campaign bus-tour’ of North Carolina and Virginia, was a target for theft from the OWS (Occupy Wall Street) -Protesting sneak-thieves this week. The truck carrying the President’s teleprompter and audio equipment – along with the Presidential seals and podiums altogether worth about two hundred thousand dollars -- was stolen but recovered on Monday.

            The Hill – reported the theft, according to channel 12-TV Richmond – but the equipment was retrieved from the Holiday Inn Express near the airport on Monday afternoon.  Occupy Wall Street protesters said packs of brazen crooks inside their ranks have been stealing donated food, laptops, expensive cameras and even stashes of cash from ‘fellow’ agitators.’ Ms. Nan Terrie, 18, a kitchen and legal volunteer from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, said: "Stealing is our biggest problem at the moment."

          James Taranto – Editor of The Wall St. Journal’s “Best of the Web Today” feature said it looked like some of the OWS folks are taking to heart the advice of their mentor to ‘spread the wealth around.’
