Who Are You?

I'm glad to see that Occupy Iowa/Des Moines were denied an extension of their camping permit at the Statehouse grounds.

Spokesmodel David Goodner said --

“This is state government standing on the side of big corporations and big money and against hardworking people and families. And it raises the risk of confrontation tonight.”

Goodner is a paid Community Organizer by Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (ICCI, that's ICKY to us) that is a 501c3 organization.

Which means ICCI is a tax exempt organization and donations to it are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Maybe it's time for the IRS and The Iowa Department of Revenue to look into the exemptions for this liberal-leaning social advocacy group.

Unlike "Dumbass" Goodner, most hardworking people aren't wasting their time with these societal misfits because they're too busy doing what needs to be done to move this country forward and the scientific community is united in that fact.

On the national level these misfits are being tied to George Soros and Adbusters, an anti-capitalist group in Canada which started the protests with an inventive marketing campaign aimed at sparking an Arab Spring type uprising against Wall Street.

These misfits are taking their cues from a bunch of Hosers!

CommieTommie Harkin also supports these misfits and is “very encouraged” by the movement of “rank-and-file Americans”.

St. Thomas of Equine Ass got the rank part right.

Occupy Your Mind

The Liter is disappointed to see the societal misfits that are Occupy Iowa/Des Moines were given a permit to camp out in what David Goodner is calling the People’s Park.

That should have been a given since the Goodner hails from the People's Republic of Iowa City.

Hey "Dumbass", that park is courtesy of the people that pay taxes and I'm betting there aren't too many of those in your movement and the scientific community is united in that fact.

As part of obtaining the permit, the misfits may not use sidewalk chalk on the grounds or deface state property in any way which Sonya Heitshusen reported occurred (to statues) on Sunday.

Meanwhile, back in the People's Republic, UI History Professor Shelton Stromquist, who studies social and labor issues and the Iowa labor movement, was quoted regarding the movement...

“It’s frustration that the Republican-controlled congress has been so unwilling to address the need for equality and the growing need for jobs, and it’s frustration with the Obama administration for being unwilling to take a stand against people profiting from the recession”.

We'll have to give the Professor a failing grade as control of Congress is split between the Dummycrat controlled Senate and the Republican led House.

My tax dollars not at work there.

Another Prop Has Occupied My Time

The idiocy that is Occupy Wall Street is another simple prop to occupy the time of the 1% who are the misfits of society.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Slowly it has moved its way into Iowa and of all places, Iowa City.

Imagine that, a protest of all that is American in the People's Republic.

The press reports on the turnout for Friday night's event; More than 100 people, More than 200 people, About 200 people, about 250 (The Gannett - oids contradict each other in the first two guesstimates).

That's the best they can do in Iowa City?

Hell, they had More than 100 people show up to plan it on Wednesday night.

Libris Fidelis was there, or Liberis per WHO TV HD.

If you want impressive numbers more than 291,000 Iowans, almost 10 percent of the state’s population, turned out to take a walk to improve their health on Friday.

That's a turnout and they'll also achieve a positive result.

Not like the idiots who want to Occupy Wall Street, and elsewhere, with their loony desire and demands.

Reefer Man

I've known for the past five years that David Goodner (pictured) is a "Dumbass", now he's made more people aware of what a real moron he is.

Police arrest one protester, others file complaint against bank

Goodner, and a few of his Occupy-err friends, wanted to read a letter inside Wells Fargo accusing the institution of using predatory lending practices, financing private prisons and avoiding fair taxes.

Police said the off-duty officers working in the bank allowed Goodner to enter to hand the letter to a bank official.

According to authorities, officers asked him several times to leave but he refused and resisted arrest. He was charged with trespass, interference with official acts, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Goodner acknowledged being determined to finish reading the letter but said he stopped resisting once he realized uniformed police officers were trying to arrest him.

At that point it's too late Dumbass and the scientific community is united in that fact.

This isn't Goodner's first arrest, Must Be The Ganja that messed with his instincts.

The remaining societal misfits proceeded to another bank where Jessica Reznicek and Julie Brown became trapped in the lobby and cut off from the rest of the group.

The two claimed they were trapped in the bank for more than 10 minutes and filed a police report.

Crime scene, or merely confused by a revolving door?

Sitting In The Park

On Sunday, because of the Des Moines Marathon, I had to drive past Itchycoo Park -- the home of the the relocated societal misfits that are Occupy Iowa/Des Moines.

It was just a little past noon and I could not see anyone on the premises, just their tents.

It made me feel sorry for the kids that use that park for play, those tents took up so much room that there didn't appear to be anyplace for them to utilize the park or the equipment.

With no people in the park, I was left to wonder if there was another "big" activity they were partaking in, such as Saturday's March.

Protesters march in Des Moines on ‘Occupy Wall Street International Day of Action’

Once again media numbers are mixed upon those who participated.

The Ragister reported more than 350 people at its peak, but others counted more than 100 people.

The Occupy-errs included a member of the advocacy group Move to Amend, who are dedicated to ending the illegitimate legal doctrines that prevent the American people from governing ourselves.

Also taking part were Cat Rocketship and her husband Mr. Rocketshop, also known as Scott Kubie.

Cat, like all the Occupy-errs, needs to Get over your fucking self because you haven't been able to Make me fucking care.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Itchycoo Park

The Liter is proposing that as the new name for Des Moines' Stewart Square, the now home of the relocated societal misfits that are Occupy Iowa/Des Moines.

Occupy Iowa protesters accept mayor’s offer, move to city park

Frank Cownie, pictured with President Obama, saved the protest-errs from once again getting their ass kicked by authority and the scientific community is united in that fact.

It seems that's what official spokesmodel and "Dumbass" David Goodner wanted when he spoke of "the risk of a big confrontation".

The Occupy-errs were hoping to attract hundreds – if not more than 1,000 – protestors to the Capitol grounds to try to thwart the state from arresting trespassers.

How'd that work out 99?

You'd be better off counting on Red Balloons!

Cownie, who should have provided furs to keep the Occupy-errs warm, told the protest-errs --

“We want you to feel like that’s a good place to gather” and “I want my police force out taking care of the bad guys and arresting criminals”.

Cownie, is Mayor of a city planning to cut 11-percent from its budget and some vital services to overcome a budget shortfall of about $7.7 million.

Yeah, he needs a raise.

He better hope none of the cities resources will be wasted on Itchycoo Park.

What did you do there?
I got high
What did you feel there?
Well I cried
But why the tears there?
I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful

Tell you what I'll do (what will you do?)
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school (won't that be cool)
Why go to learn the words of fools?
What will we do there?
We'll get high
What will we touch there?
We'll touch the sky

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?

A Lesson In Leavin'

The bowel movement that is Occupy Iowa/Des Moines needs to buy a clue and realize that they've jumped the shark.

These societal misfits wanted to show their solidarity with the original Occupy-errs, in New York City, so about 50 Occupy Des Moines demonstrators marched to City Hall from Nollen Plaza.

Or, as Emily Carlson called it in her 5 p.m. live shot -- Nollen Square.

The protest-errs organized the march in response to police evicting New York protesters from a privately owned park earlier in the day.

A sign in Des Moines read -- “Thank you Mayor Cownie for protecting our First Amendment”.

Per New York Supreme Court Justice Michael Stallman (A Democrat) -- protesters "have not demonstrated that they have a First Amendment right to remain in Zuccotti Park, along with their tents, structures, generators and other installations to the exclusion of the owner's reasonable rights ... or to the rights to public access of others who might wish to use the space safely.

Go home losers and the scientific community is united in that fact.

I guess they have no place to go as they don't plan on leaving.

“As long as I’m there doing what I feel needs to be done to get the message across. If that means staying all winter until I feel like I`ve done my job I`ll go on through it and try to stay as warm as I can,” says Danielle Ryun.

Go find a real job Danielle.

Occupy Des Moines protesters say the snow doesn't scare them. They insist they're here for the long haul.

“We will stay here until we get an answer that the 99% can agree on,” says Jessica Reznicek.

That's a laugh and will be a long haul.

I also laughed at these Top Ten OWS eviction tweets

Cabs and paddy wagons pulling up at OWS. Your choice, occupiers.

Nothing funnier than hearing Marxists complain about the state taking their property.

Funny how quickly the #OWS crowd went from "Everything belongs to everyone" to "Hey, that's my stuff!"

This really is like watching a "very special" episode of Hoarders

The 1st Amendment gives you the right to protest. It doesn't give you the right to take over and live anywhere you want.

I wonder if @BarackObama is up watching #NYPD #OccupyWallSt #ZuccottiPark from the situation room.

All we are saying, is give RapeMurderSuicidePublicPooingGropingPubicLice a Chance!

Get Out Of This Town

Des Moines & Iowa are being occupied by out of state extremists.

The Ragister photo gallery of some of the Occupy-errs featured were from Fort Collins, Colorado and Maine.

Fiberals are o.k. with this effort to "hijack our political process and demean our families ” and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The other societal misfits included the usual "Dumbass" from Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (ICCI, that's ICKY to us)
David Goodner.

Other professional rabble rousers included Hugh Espey from ICCI and ICCI's Joe Fagan.

Media numbers for the protest-errs ranged from Roughly four dozen activists, to nearly 50, to about 50 people, to More than 60 protesters and about 65 protesters.

The Rain, The Park, And Other Things

Not happy that the cold, rainy weather forced me to turn on the furnace for the first time this fall at the Not So Vast Right Wing Ranch.

I see the city that is planning to cut 11-percent from its budget and some vital services to overcome a budget shortfall of about $7.7 million has the resources to devote a police vehicle throughout the night for the protection(?) of a bunch of idiots who can't come in from the cold and rain.

I'm not so sure what happened Sunday at Itchycoo Park, when some of the societal misfits that are Occupy Iowa/Des Moines were approached by teens for their money.

Protesters report assault early Sunday morning

I know it can feel like an assault when people who haven't earned it come and take something that is yours, but I believe the politically correct name is now redistribution of wealth.

I know some in the bowel movement that are the Occupy-errs are taking comfort in this Gandhi quote -- First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

How it works here at the Liter is that first we make fun of you and then we ignore you because you're losers and the scientific community is united in that fact.

On a recent drive I came across this vanity plate








I related it to Chris and she wondered why someone would want to also be known as lice?

That was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the plate, so there's another reason why we belong together.

Let's Get Serious

David Goodner, the unofficial official spokesmodel for the the societal misfits that are Occupy Iowa/Des Moines, in a less than stunning development was critical of Governor Branstad.

'Occupy' organizer: Branstad is out of touch

In the world according to Goodner --

“We are the 99 percent. I think that sets up a pretty clear dichotomy. Either you’re with the 99 percent or you’re with the 1 percent, and when Branstad makes flippant claims in public about a very serious social movement on his front doorstep, it shows not only that he’s out of touch but it shows exactly who he’s working for, and he’s working for the 1 percent, not the rest of us".

A very serious movement?

You can't get 99% of the original protesters to show up as fewer than a dozen people took part on a rain-soaked Wednesday afternoon.

The only serious movement going on is in the port-o-potties and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Ragister dramatically dropped the figures on the first night attendance from their original As many as 400 people to About 150 demonstrators turned out Sunday night in Des Moines.

That's quite a swing downward.

"Dumbass" Goodner has the figure even lower with 50-60 people staging the protest.

The Twinkle Brothers (And Sisters)

The Occupy-errs in Iowa are now making threats.

Occupy Des Moines warns insurer: Drop premiums or else

About a dozen Occupy Iowa/Des Moines protesters delivered a letter addressed to John Forsyth, chairman of Wellmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield.

In the letter the Occupy-errs state -- Enough is enough. It’s time to put people before profits. It’s time to put patients first. Consider yourselves on notice.”

The letter doesn’t specify what will happen to the insurer if it ignores the notice.

Leaving themselves in a whole lot of trouble if something were to happen at Wellmark.

These societal misfits are also disputing reports that their attempts to Occupy the Cauc-eye are going more or less unanswered.

The Occupy-errs believe hundreds from out of state to protest in days leading up to Iowa caucuses

Hundreds -- Oooohhhh!

Although, that is a marked increase from the handful that dominates these dummies population and the scientific community is united in that fact.

How did the Occupy-errs arrive at their hundreds guestimate?

Occupy Des Moines protester Jessica Mazour traveled to New York and Washington D.C. earlier this month and found receptive audiences in both cities to the idea of demonstrating in Iowa.

“They were really excited. There was tons of twinkle fingers and yelling and cheering,” she said, referring to the hand gestures Occupy protesters use to signify agreement.

Twinkle Fingers?

Is this the same Jessica Mazour who lists Customer Service Coordinator at ITA Group as her current job?

That would explain how she traveled.

Jessica previously was a Wealth High Value Servicer at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage

Kick Him When He's Down

Occupy Iowa/Des Moines reached a new low, even for these scumbags and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Neighbors: Occupy Protesters Took Evicted Man's Belongings

They don't care who they steal from, they just want something for nothing.

I do love how Chris Christie handled these societal misfits when they interrupted his speech for Mitt Romney on Wednesday.

“You’re so angry, aren’t you? Work it all out. Work it all out for yourselves.”

Christie continued

“Where was I before I was so New Jersey-ly interrupted?”

Then Christie hit the nail on the head

“Let’s talk about these folks for a second … their anger is rooted not in me or in Mitt Romney, their anger is rooted in the fact that they believed in this hope and change garbage that they were sold three years ago by this president”.

"They represent an anger in our country that Barack Obama has caused. Because he's a cynical, Chicago ward politician who runs for office and promises everything and then comes to office and disappoints."

“Now they are angry but they’re not mature enough to know they should be angry with themselves”.

He also had shared something that Republicans should take to heart --

"If you're looking for the candidate who agrees with you on everything, buy a mirror. What we need to be concerned about is not about being Republicans first, but being Americans first. It's up to us to save our country, and it starts in Iowa."

I just wish Christie would take that last part to heart by putting America first and running for President to save our country.

Sweet Revenge

It was only a matter of time

Angry Residents, Businesses Protest Occupy Wall Street Protest

They've almost got it right, but the 53% should be occupying the occupy-errs.

I know that might be difficult because most of these losers, err societal misfits have nothing of worth and the scientific community is united in that fact.

However, in Des Moines the Occupy-errs are backed by Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (ICCI, that's ICKY to us).

Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement is the title holder of this property at 2001 Forest Avenue.















Per the Polk County Assessor's web site the building and land are valued at $255,000 for assessment purposes, but Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement pay no property taxes because they are exempt for charitable purposes.

Now that's ICKY to us!

Let's occupy their building -- Occupy the ICC-I.

Then let's file a protest to their exempt status with the IRS, the Iowa Department of Revenue, Polk County and the City of Des Moines.
