#OccupyFail

I think pretty soon some of the more sober mainstream media types will finally say, "C'mon, who are you people kidding? Your movement is totally FUBAR and it's time for the news media to report the truth about it." Was Andy Rooney a conservative curmudgeon? Maybe he would have come out with a prime-time slap-down of these violent idiots and wannabe anarcho-revolutionaries.

In any case, here's a little roundup, in no particular order.

My good friend and collaborator Tania reports on her visit to the occupation yesterday, "Occupation Philly Update."

And the folks at Verum Serum have been blogging Occupy Wall Street like the dickens. This is too much, for example, "Occupy Oakland Takes Over Burger King (Video)." And keep clicking over there for all the reporting.

Also Lonely Conservative notes the #Fail factor: "Crime Raises ‘Concerns’ at Occupy LA."

Plus, from Glenn Reynolds at the Washington Examiner, "Occupy Wall Street gets the ink, Tea Party gets the voters." And more on #OccupyFail at Instapundit, where Glenn writes, "#OCCUPYFAIL: Hey, that hashtag seems to be getting some traction. So is #OccupyHollywood." And where we find Walter Russell Mead, "Occupy Blue Wall Street?", and Mark Steyn, "Corporate Collaborators: Standing with “the 99%” means supporting the destruction of civilized society."

Finally, from the Center for Global Research, "A Chill Descends On Occupy Wall Street; 'The Leaders of the allegedly Leaderless Movement'." (via Memeorandum and Linkmaster Smith).
