Watching cable news. Cable news hair just said this:


"Occupy Wall Street demonstrators are making headlines. In Oakland police fired tear gas to calm down the crowd."

Apparently they're using chamomile tear gas in Oakland.

Not Fox. MSNBC!

This is almost as ridiculous as NPR reporting yesterday, on a story about the OccupyOakland police assult, that it was "unclear which side used the flash grenades and tear gas." It actually made me happy that I didn't donate during the Fall pledge drive.

Didn't the military spray Agent Orange in Vietnam to "calm down the jungle"?

Well NPR (Nationalist Puppet Radio) is fucking full of shit anyways - they proved this over the Lisa Simeone debacle.
