Busload of Crazies to Tour Homes of AIG Executives This Weekend
Less than a year ago, the most repellent area bus tour we knew of was the one that induced Sex and the City-crazed tourists to put $40 on their Citi cards for a cupcake and a glimpse at Carrie Bradshaw's brownstone. How times have changed! Now, everyone's clamoring aboard the Populist Rage Bus.
The Connecticut Working Families Party this weekend has organized a bus store that will make stops at Wilton, Connecticut, AIG office as well as the security-patrolled homes of AIG execs who are fearing for their lives.
"We're going to be peaceful and lawful in everything we do," said Jon Green, the director of Connecticut Working Families. "I know there's a lot of anger and a lot of rage about what's happened. We're not looking to foment that unnecessarily, but what we want to do is give folks in Bridgeport and Hartford and other parts of Connecticut who are struggling and losing their homes and their jobs and their health insurance an opportunity to see what kinds of lifestyle billions of dollars in credit-default swaps can buy."
Right, they're not fomenting rage, they're just encouraging it. So if you happen to record someone's address so you can return in the dead of night, it's not like Working Families told you to! We know we sound paranoid and we really can't believe we're actually on the same side as Rush, but this is getting way out of hand. Oh, to have fat ladies in high heels clogging up the West Village again.
Just imagine if NEXT weekend some well dressed (black spandex and balaclava clad with lots of webbed 'accessories') showed up watching and touring ACORN executives homes, parks and streets.
What is it that these morons expect to create in the end?
Civil War?
They'll get it.
I hold no sympathy for AIG exec's except as a matter of principle over contract sanctity UNTIL NOW.
UPDATE:
Here is their schedule:
10AM: Pick up in Hartford
(Working Families Headquarters - 30 Arbor St.)
11AM: Pick up in Bridgeport

Tour and Protest
AIG Financial Products headquarters, executives’ houses.
2:30: Return to Bridgeport

Sweetness & Light checked out the website and here’s what he found
Why a couple of mouse clicks would tell any interested journalist that they were ‘founded’ by none other than ACORN.

Fat ladies in high heels in the West Village? When I lived there most of the people in high heels were guys. (With spurs. And chaps. Coming out of the Boots & Saddles bar...)
It's fun to stay at the....
I've got a great idea. Get a Tea Party group together and have them standing in the driveways of the AIG execs when the ACORN (sorry, WFH) buses show up.
Then follow them back to Bridgeport and Hartford.
ACORN is also at the core of the demonstrations and lobbying the banks to change the lending practices towards low-income families.
But, of course what caused the present crisis was capitalistic greed and not egalitarian doctrine shoveled on our throats.
