Scenes from the Occupation, part thousand five

“Go Panthers.  OCCUPY Grant”

It’s interesting to see a handmade sign for a high school football game pick up the “Occupy” meme.  And I find it difficult to envision such a thing outside of any number of “liberal enclaves”.  Like, I don’t imagine the Central Washington football conference ‘s conflageration of small towns having “Occupy Zillah”, or whatever.

Or, for that matter, how does this move over to the world of College football.  There is a big game going on right now between a number one and a number two out in “SEC” Country.  I do not believe there would possibly be an “OCCUPY LSU” sign thrown into the mix.

In other news from the occupation, there is something to a march I saw with “Move Your Money” to a Credit Union campaign.  It’s mainstream or potentially so, and it’s something tangible someone can do.  It is things like that that makes “occupy” look like a worthy venture, even if I’m not entirely sure the encampment is necessary (does it simply force a media focus on the matters?)  or desirable.  Nonetheless, as these people were marching, they were buttressed on their side by an equal number of middlingly guarded police officers — just short of the most severe Robocop doo-dids when there’s a self-described Anarchist or self-identified anti-police march.  So it goes.

stray comment of dissent:  “And she just can’t understand why I am not with Mad Max’s March on Portland”.
