Those crazy brits.
Burma may have the harshest media censorship laws, while other countries “Governments” simply dont censorship, but dont let know whats really happening get out of said countries.
Well judging by all this silly-ass “Occupy Sesame St” horseshit, i guess it’s nice to see that some folks just think this is a big fucking goddamn joke ha ha. It just goes to show that large portions of the 99% are child-minded (see – Idiocracy). Real fucking funny huh – the woman in the ORIGINAL photo was pepper-sprayed and beaten by theses goddamn pigs, FYI.
Keep up the jokes while the rest of us get fucked, dummies!
Also, JAPANESE SHIT-POWERED MOTORCYCLE. Probably not meant to be refueled while in motion, but who knows? You’d have to be pretty flush to afford one of these, though.

Alex,I have been keeping up with your blogs. What is”Occupy Portland” all about?.
Here (in NYC) they are still occupying Wall St.I guess it is the thing to do. Maybe I will go down and occupy the public library. the main building on MainSt. is in the process of .enlarging/repairing so they are in a much smaller space for the next couple of years. I went in to use the microfilmreader last week and discovered it is positioned under a skylight, which made it almost impossible to see the screen. The final solution was to borrow an umbrella. for shade. That is so Sag Harbor! I am hoping to get away over the snowy months but as yet no solution. I miss Hazel and would like to get another dog, this next one smaller-I have fallen for the Maltese..I guess that will happen in the spring. Keep up the good work . Love, Grandma
I call shenanigans! I don’t believe 12,000 bicyclists have jobs.
