This is for Rob and Eric

The Toronto Globe did a satirical "one week anniversary" story on the Toronto version of Occupy Wall Street. One of the fake quotes I thought you guys would enjoy is:
“Looking back, I can't believe what we achieved in a few incredible days: government-funded health care, a well-regulated banking system, and a cap on corporate political donations. Our work is done.” – Tracy, 20
Apparently, Rick Perry missed out on the fact that it was satire, attempting to ridicule the protest with the following fake quote:
“It’s weird protesting on Bay Street. You get there at 9 a.m. and the rich bankers who you want to hurl insults at and change their worldview have been at work for two hours already. And then when it's time to go, they're still there. I guess that's why they call them the one per cent. I mean, who wants to work those kinds of hours? That's the power of greed.” – Jeremy, 38
It's OK though, because he used his own version of a Herman Cain disclaimer: “I don’t know if it can be proved up or not,” but I'm going to repeat it anyway.

Regards,

D-Ray

Both of those links are funny, the second in sad sort of way.

Read "Jeremy's" response to Rick Perry.

I don't know what drugs Perry was on when he gave this speech in New Hampshire, but I want some.

I have switched my support from Bachman to Perry. Perry makes W look like a MENSA member and a Rhodes Scholar. Perry is the kind of guy I'd like to drop acid with.
