Zuccotti Park Occupiers Take Issue With Suggestion Things Need To Be Tidied Up A Bit

By Bess Levin

Some protesters objected to city and the landlord’s depiction of the park and said some would try to remain, no matter what the city or Brookfield do. “Unsanitary? We have a cleaning department here,” said Junior Martinez, 23 years old, who lives on the Lower East Side when not camping out. He added: “Tents or not, we will sleep without tents. I think people are going to end up doing it no matter what.” [WSJ, earlier]

    So tent in Zucotti Park > apt in LES? Sounds about right.

    Well, for certain definitions of "hot." Here are some topless ones. Again, this link is to TOPLESS chicks and is, by definition, NSFW.

    We have a cleaning commissariat here! Staffed with men and women with expensive advanced degrees in Global Peace Studies, Cultural Anthropology, and Womyn's Studies!

    The members in that last category must *really* be experts in cleaning.

    No tents allowed, as I understand. The ordinance says no "structures" and the police are reportedly considering even a tarp over a pole to be a "structure." Should be interesting once Ma Nature starts intervening.

    Let's just skip ahead to the inevitable violence.

    The Jets and the Giants suck anyway and we're all bored. I'll take the cops and give the hippies a seven-concussion point spread.

    Just because you'd smash doesn't mean a girl's hot. Just means she's a girl.

    The parlay-tease is Goldman's earnings. The line is -$0.50/share. You can move it 10 cents per concussion.

    The three-event tease is the length of Matt's next post. Line is 20,753 words. You can move it 1,000 words per 10 cents or concussion

    Didn't I see an article where they said they had accumulated $40k in donations? Seems like water and sanitation would be good places to start spending it. Just sayin'.

    That braless chick with the short hair who got pepper-sprayed the first weekend was the hottest I've seen so far, although her "Kent State"-like drama queen routine was a little annoying.

    I hope someone from the IRS is making note of the donations.

    You really fancy yourself the racial police around here with your snarky little historical references, don't you? He's making an off-color joke just like about everyone else on this website.
