Ha ha! So true.

McDonald's is always hiring. Degrading work? yes. Better than starving or begging on the streets? yes.


There are always jobs available for the people who really want them

There's nothing degrading about doing honest, hard work.


I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

It's all perspective. I spent 2 years in Ukraine when I was about 20 years old. The McDonald's workers there were happy, kind and interested in their work. They knew they had a job that most people in Ukraine would kill for. But for some reason here in America it's viewed differently, even if it pays the bills and keeps you out of an occupy rally.

I hope the occupiers didn't get too cold in that snow storm yesterday.

Isn't that storm the result of wall street cooling off? Maybe it's global warming, wait it got colder, it has to be Wall street.

This Occupyer has at least one demand I can live with

...except (as most Occupyers) she is so out of touch that she doesn't realize it has already been announced that Arrested Development is coming back.

I'm really surprised that she supports legalized marijuana.
