Watch and enjoy as the nice small business owner has the disruptive OWSers escorted out of her coffee shop by the police. 

From Chris Moody via Yahoo News:

DES MOINES, Iowa–On Friday morning before a planned event appearance by Newt Gingrich, some members of “Occupy Iowa” made a stop at Java Joe’s, a coffee shop here that MSNBC has been broadcasting from (MSNBC was not, however, broadcasting the Gingrich appearance).

The protesters didn’t get far before the owner of the shop gave them the boot.

About four or five Occupiers stood chanting in the middle of the crowded coffee shop before  they were told to leave.

What I find most amazing about this story is that they were only begging 300 people not to cancel their subscriptions.

From Direct Marketing News

An email appeal from The New York
Times offering readers a special deal to not cancel their subscriptions
was accidentally mass-emailed to about 8 million people on Dec. 28, rather than
the 300 individuals for whom the message was intended.

“An email was sent on Wednesday afternoon from The New York Times in
error,” said Eileen Murphy, VP of corporate communications, in an emailed
statement. “This email should have been sent to a very small number of
subscribers, but instead was sent to a vast distribution list made up of people
who had previously provided their email address to The New York Times. We
regret the error.”

Amy Chozick, corporate media reporter for The New York Times,
confirmed in a tweet
that the “vast distribution list” was about 8 million people and was intended
for only 300.

So this means that the myth of the 99% is BS, too.  Who woulda thunk all those OWSers were wrong?

<>

The distinction between the 99% and the 1% assumes that there is a ruling class that is permanently in place, but this view is completely inaccurate. It misses the story of income mobility.

Watch University of Nevada-Reno economist Brad Schiller as he discusses income mobility and the 1%.

This should bring a smile to your face, if not, there is something wrong with you!  My favorite  is the lady with the oxygen and the hot pink walker.  You go, girl!

This video comes via Brandon at Misfit Politics.  It is great because I think the Occupy Movement has fooled a lot of folks.  The Occupy movement is an anti-Christian, anti-capitalist, anarchist movement bent on the destruction of America and other free societies. 

The majority of protesting OWSers are just the useful idiots who have been manipulated to help bring about this destruction.  We should never forget that the Dems have embraced this movement.

This is funny, but it is also horrifying – if it is possible to be both.

Please.  Someone give this OWSer a cookie.

“those who wear the tie Dyed Cloth.”  Now, that’s funny.

There is no better combination for a Christmas Roast then Horseradish and Roast Beef.
Plus, it is simple to prepare on a busy Christmas day.

Horseradish-Crusted Roast Beef

To showcase deeply flavorful grass-fed beef, butcher-shop ownersJessica and Josh Applestone make a simple roast beef using any number of cuts, including rib loin (prime rib), top round or a tied sirloin tip. The roast—deliciously crusted with horseradish and black peppercorns—is perfect hot out of the oven, but it’s also amazing cold on a sandwich: Thinly slice the roast beef and serve it on white bread with horseradish mayonnaise and juicy tomatoes.

• ACTIVE: 10 MIN
• TOTAL TIME: 2 HRS 30 MIN
• SERVINGS: 8 TO 10 
• MAKE-AHEAD

INGREDIENTS

• Ingredients
  1. One 6-pound sirloin tip roast, preferably grass-fed, tied
  2. 1/2 cup prepared horseradish
  3. 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  4. 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  5. 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  6. 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
  7. 1 tablespoon sugar
  8. 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Set a rack in a large, deep roasting pan and place the beef roast on the rack.
2. In a small bowl, blend the horseradish with the salt, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, ground pepper, sugar and sherry vinegar to form a paste. Slather the paste all over the top and sides of the meat. Roast in the lower third of the oven for about 2 hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast registers 125°. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
3. Discard the string and thinly slice the roast beef across the grain. Transfer the meat to a platter and serve.

SERVE WITH Chef Pete’s Garlicky Mashed Potatoes.

A wonderful example of staying true to one’s values and the respect for human life.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Southern Baptist Convention’s publishing division is recalling pink Bibles, saying some of the money raised through their sale was to be given to Planned Parenthood.

LifeWay Christian Resources no longer markets the pink-bound version of the Holman Christian Standard Bible and is recalling copies it sold, according to The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/u90K40).

A portion of the purchase price was pledged to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Andrea Rader in the charity’s marketing department said LifeWay had pledged $25,000.
