I once work along side of a woman who thought that if she rubbed cedar blocks under her arms, she wouldn’t have body odor. She thought wrong. Ever since then I guess I’ve had a visceral distaste for drum circle dancing, ironic sign holding, Ralph Nader voting hippies. This news via boing boing seems like a good thing though.
Occupy Wall Street gets support from MoveOn, trade unions, community groups

A coalition of activists, community groups and trade unions (whom Crain’s New York Business hilariously refer as “agitators,” as though they were the Red Menace a post-WWII installment of Little Orphan Annie) are set to join the Occupy Wall Street protesters. The new group includes MoveOn, some SEIU chapters, Workers United, the United Federation of Teachers, and a Transport Workers Union local. They’re also being backed by the Working Families Party.
