1. I hear that instead of a normal boring promotional book signing, they are going to have celebrity occupiers drop a pressed turd in the hard cover edition

2. Links include sites documenting Occupiers-child abuse aka kids used as human shields.
   These people were/are i-n-s-a-n-e!

3. I got as far as “Paul Krugman” and knew there was no point in reading any further.

4. Ellie, you should have read the whole article, as there were some excellent suggestion for fleshing out the book’s contents.

5. Any bets the book is copyrighted?

6. Any bets the book is copyrighted?

7. The Occupy Movement — vacuous in itself — appears to be a kind of Rorschach test onto which progressive pundits can project their beliefs.

8. I applaud the big evil corporation profiteering off the backs of the naive and sinister, and also creating some great irony.
   Will the OWS crowd be overcome by toxic smoke inhalation at the mass Kindle burning when they discover this?

9. Saul Alinski has built his kingdom.
   “Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: “Known as the ‘father of modern American radicalism,’ Saul D. Alinsky (1909-1972) developed strategies and tactics that take the enormous, unfocused emotional energy of grassroots groups and transform it into effective anti-government and anti-corporate activism. … Some of these rules are ruthless, but they work.”
   Hillary Clinton’s 1969 Political Science Thesis (“There is Only the Fight”) refers to an earlier version of Alinsky’s training manual. “In 1946,” Saul offered Hillary a job during her interview with him for her thesis.
   “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history… the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

10. I hope the author can walk over here and recite the book to me. I would not want the large paper companies or computer companies to benefit from such a great piece of literature.

11. “Analyzing the movement’s deep-seated origins ”
    Heh that should be one of the world’s shortest books – right up there with “A Guide to Leftwing Morality”

12. That explains why I haven’t gone for a Kindle. Apart for the other reasons which are: 1) they won’t have the books I want; and, 2) you can’t flip back and forth between pages with a Kindle.

13. I remember reading the original “Steal This Book!” by yippie Abbie Hoffman. It’s been nearly five decades, so you’ll forgive me if my memory’s inexact, but it seemed that its suggestions were almost tame – how to make phone calls for free, how to throw metaphorical sand into society’s gears, etc. – compared to modern techniques. I sense a truly horrible decade looming.
