Occupy A Swanky Hotel
Occupying Wall Street Is so much comfier when you're doing it from a $700-a-night hotel. Candice M. Giove writes in the New York Post:
A key Occupy Wall Street leader and another protester who leads a double life as a businessman ditched fetid tents and church basements for rooms at a luxurious hotel that promises guests can "unleash [their] inner Gordon Gekko," The Post has learned.The $700-per-night W Hotel Downtown last week hosted both Peter Dutro, one of a select few OWS members on the powerful finance committee, and Brad Spitzer, a California-based analyst who not only secretly took part in protests during a week-long business trip but offered shelter to protesters in his swanky platinum-card room.
What was it Orwell wrote?
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
This actually makes senses. I mean these guys might be filling up a hotel that the 1% might actually want to use -- as opposed to the park where they are really only affecting the the 99%.

Meh, no big deal. We all know that those "1%" aren't really serious.
Its up there with the usual limo liberals that have a 7 million dollar home, and a 1 million dollar charity shelter.
They do just enough to assauge whatever "guilt" they might feel, and then nothing more.

People who build the gallows leave their tools in the garage.

Replace animals with communists.

Yep. Animal Farm is real (at least for the 'Occupy' folks).
For all that they rail against the 1%, it turns out that they're still willing to have their own 1%.
There's always going to be someone who thinks they should be in charge.
So, they complain about some particular '1%', while maneuvering to become the 1% in their pool.
