NP - What Occupy Did to 2012, What It Will Do to 2013

[Bled Welder]

I went underwater into the galaxies for a week or so, stopped reading
anything let alone the goddam NYTimes.  Was there actually somedoofus
called themselves Occupy Sandy, or have I missed some irony yallzers having
been laughing about for the past 60 milliseconds?

OWS tried to morph themself into OS?  Did they ever occupy anything in the
first place, or were they and other who watch media hypnotized into
thinking they were?
