Speaking of unconstitutional:

Obviously unconstitutional but I also doubt it was a serious policy proposal but rather a statement of how the continual campaigning makes it unlikely Congress can do anything significant to resolve issues.

It is hardly a unique position. But yes, if she was seriously suggesting we actually take steps to cancel elections (rather than that skipping one would make addressing problems easier by relieving congressmen of the constant pressures and requriements of re-election) she's a dolt.

And an inability to explain herself without the lame "it was a joke you didn't get" suggests she or her staff might be a dolt anyway.

It appears that the Occupy Wall Street people have expanded operations and are now camped out in front of the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco.

Actually, a pretty good turnout as I exited BART this morning, though a sign of life in San Francisco that I was halfway down the block of people in sleeping bags before I realized I was in the middle of a protest camp and not just among homeless people.

In their very vocal protestations that they're being ignored by the mainstream press in New York I've seen many comments that they are being dismissed for the way they look.

Now, I would attribute this more to the fact that I've not yet really seen anybody offering a coherent goal or position but now I've seen them, or at least a branch group.

It is not fair, but I tend to agree. When you look like you've rejected all of "society" then it is hard for me to take particularly seriously and objection made to a specific part of that society.

It feels kind of like I said "birthday parties are, by definition lame, but here's how you throw a great one." True, I may really know how to throw a great birthday party, but not many people are going to pay attention after the first half of that sentence.

I'm sure many of the kids camped out in front of the Fed have very good criticisms of whatever they are specifically criticizing and very good ideas on reform. But if you reject the very idea of a capitalism based society (as a hypothetical example) then you telling me how to make one better sounds like Nancy Pelosi saying who the Republicans should run for president.

Also, while someone with dreadlocks may have once said something important. Nothing worthwhile has ever emanated from the mouth of a 19-year-old with his or her beard in dreadlocks.

Not that I've given it much effort, but I can't figure out what it is the protestors are really after.

Walked past there again at lunch to see if they were more active during daylight hours.

Looked even more like I was walking up Telegraph Avenue (in Berkeley) on any average day. One guy on a bullhorn chanting "don't give up your rights." Not sure what rights I am giving up.

That just doesn't make sense. If I have a computer in the car, what about that? Does it matter if it's a desktop vs laptop vs tablet? Aren't a smart phone and tablet like an ipad similar enough?

It could be accurate as told but experience says that a story from The Blaze should be investigated to make sure reality conforms.

In this case the Blaze article was linked to from Drudgereport.com so that should elevate any concerns about its veracity.
