Of the People, by the People, and Paid for by the People

For some reason I no longer remember, and I'm sure it wasn't a good one anyway, I signed up some time ago to have the Nation emailed to me. It wasn't for amusement value, but it occasionally pays off that way, particularly in their idiotic coverage of the Occupy monstrosity.

This is particularly good, from an article about the necessity of creativity in staging protest marches.

"Business Insider reports that a single mother of three named Denise Vega volunteered her apartment in a subsidized housing building across the way to set up the projector. When Occupy tried to pay her for the use of her apartment, she refused the money. This is for the people, she said." (Emphasis added.)

That's awesome. This writer -- Allison Killkenny, a disgrace to anyone with a drop of Irish blood, or a hint of Irish intelligence -- describes, without a trace of irony, a woman living in subsidized housing protesting against the unfairness of a society that's subsidizing her housing. Do these people look at the same world the rest of us see?
