The Revolution?

The Occupy Wall Street-errs movement arrived in Des Moines yesterday as several hundred societal misfits, As many as 200 people to As many as 400 people depending on the media count, gathered on the statehouse grounds.

#1, or #2, on the order of business for the movement was to figure out where to take a movement...

“I think that the issue of bathroom facilities is of the utmost importance because of the cops, again,” a woman said, referencing the Des Moines Police squad cars that were in a nearby parking lot. “I don’t want anyone getting arrested for indecent exposure.”

Our favorite "Dumbass" was there.

David Goodner, moving from professional student to professional protester, has consistently remained a professional pain in the ass and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The movement was to have cleared the statehouse grounds by 11 p.m. because they did not have a permit to camp on state-owned land.

Police arrested demonstrators who were camped in about two dozen tents in front of the Iowa Statehouse late Sunday night, after warning them twice that they were trespassing.

Goodner, an organizer, was willing to risk arrest night after night if others join him.

“This movement is about reclaiming our power as people. This is the people’s park. It’s our place,” he said. “You can’t stop this movement.”

The Revolution was even televised on www.dmlive.tv thanks to Clark Davidson, or Clarke Davidson, again depending on the media.

When I clicked the link last night, the livestream first featured an ad for Jimmy Johns and this morning there was an ad for Wal Mart.

Can you appreciate the irony?
