* There’s a new New York Post column by me about those darn wealthiest 1%. I explain exactly how they hurt us and what must be done about them.
Let’s say you had two apples and another person — let’s call him “Rich” — also had two apples. If you then got one more apple and Rich got 80 more apples, would you now have more apples? No, you’d have fewer apples — fewer than that other guy who has an unfair number of apples!
* Tensions with the Occupy Wall Street are increasing. Now they’re clashing directly with police in Oakland with tear gas and beanbag rounds and everything. But it’s important that the OWS people stand their ground so they can… what is it they’re trying to do again?
I mean, the Tea Party would go, protest a few hours, and then leave — their point having been made — but OWS needs to go to a place and stay there and camp out until… something. Who knows what.
“We refuse to leave until we figure out what the hell it is we’re trying to do!”
* Anyway, so differences between Tea Party and OWS so far:
-Tea Party leaves after they make their point.
-Tea Party doesn’t clash with police.
-Tea Party actually knows what they’re about and can coherently explain it.
-Tea Party less than 90% about drum circles.
* So I noticed, along with his jobs bill, Obama has some new stuff he wants passed about mortgages and student loans. Why? What in his past history tells him that the solution to our current problems are a few more of his bills piddling around with things? Is Obama capable of learning? When Obama proposes another one of his silly little expensive bills that just exacerbate things, we need someone to smack him in the face with a rolled up newspaper and yell, “No!” Maybe if done enough times, that will sink in.
* Perry has had a run in with Birther issue. You notice how it’s now the left-wing media that’s working hard to bring that up and keep the issue alive. “Obama may be the most ineffective president in history, but you can’t elect those Republicans because they’re crazy people who don’t believe in birth certificates!”
* A poll says that out of the Republican candidates, people would most like to have dinner with Herman Cain. Probably because they figure he’ll bring free pizza.
* Wisdom of the Day: “Lindsay Lohan is going to pose nude in Playboy. Turns out she met Hef during her community service at the L.A. County Morgue.” –Joel McHale
* Pajamas Media has had a huge redesign and is now called PJ Media. I now have a cool new bio page, but the redesign has also caused all the Facebook likes to be reset on my columns. I had one with over 5,000 likes on it! (Frank J. Trivia: What was my most popular column?)
Anyway, I hope things work out well for Pajamas PJ Media. They’ve given me a great platform to get more exposure that directly led to me writing a book for HarperCollins and writing columns for the New York Post, and I hope I’ll still be writing lots of cool stuff for them far into the future.
Criminey – he never misses a chance to plug his book does he?
Let me guess – is it one where you talk about your soon-to-be-published book?
DamnCat, I think we’ve witnessed the birth of “Frank J. Media.” And IMAO might just be one of its marketing arms.
See, Frank is a member of the Capitalist 1% – and we know it.
Occupy IMAO!!!!
Ahhhhhh Oakland, It makes me pine for the Daily days of ’68 in Chicago: so much tear gas that it wafted up into the hotel. Num, num.
@Jimmy: “Occupy IMAO!!!!”
Sorry, I showered this morning. Used deodorant, too. Also, I had my morning coffee and I am reasonably coherent. Maybe this weekend, after I do some gardening in the California heat, I can sweat on the keyboard or something before I take my shower.
A majority of the US supporting the squatters is no more puzzling than a majority supporting Obama. It’s proof that the messenger is more important than the message.
Can we get baked and bring drums…or is some idiot here on IMAO going to argue about drums? So like what are we demanding? Oh yea, we want some of Frank J’s dough because if he like makes money it will like take money away from each of us or something! If the Code Pink hags show up, and I’m baked, I will like go wow man, far out and then I will have to drop out due to extreme ugly women! I have to draw a line!
When Obama proposes another one of his silly little expensive bills that just exacerbate things, we need someone to smack him in the face with a rolled up newspaper and yell, “No!”
Aren’t you supposed to rub their nose in it too? Then throw him out in the back yard.
In Atlanta last night the popo did a little hippie face punching. Something about the hippies blocking rush hour traffic earlier in the day so they could drum circle levatate a 55 story building owned by Kochbrothersbooshcheneyhalibutron . Funny.
“differences between Tea Party and OWS”
…and, Tea Party doesn’t ask people to feed or cloth them, and they leave the area cleaner than it was when they arrived.
Yes, ussjimmycarter, we can bring drums. I love drums! On the other hand, DamnCat loves Tuna and hates drums and I hate Tuna, man. And cats, dude – they’re sooooo weird. Hey, what are you doing?! Careful buddy, I’ve got a coffee cup in my hand. Back off, Jack! Oh noes! Cops! We don’t need no stinkin’ IMAO cops! We’re gonna stay here as long as it takes, man. We’re gonna occupy this place and take what’s ours. Oh, man, Crabby smells good. She said she wouldn’t be down here until the weekend, but she’s here now, man! We need more wimen here. Oh, dude, will you pulease stop trying to pick my pocket! I ain’t got nothin’. What’s wrong with America, man?
LOL – “How many apples do you need?” -Frank J
* The Tea Party does not throw rocks, paint, and bongs at the cops.
* The Tea Party does not treat the public thoroughfare as if it was a urinal.
* The Tea Party was not funded by the Obama White House.
These OWS encampments – They seem like a flash mob that was routed through the first trial of the Galaxy Quest transporter.
tomg51, you mean inside out and exploded? hehe
Yes. It beat out “the freed contents of a bulging can of brussel sprouts”
@ #10 Jimmy
DOWN TWINKLES!!!!!11!!!
Frnak, it isn’t fair that you
are a real, published authorhave more apples than me. So I’m going to come and take your stuff. You know, for fairness.Wait… You have pictures of yourself with lots of guns. Which means you’re either good with Photoshop or you have a lot of guns. So I guess I won’t take your stuff. But I will crap on your Jack-o-lantern.
All you fools keep boasting about your Tea Parties. Did you guys get the endorsement of ANONYMOUS, ACORN, A.N.S.W.E.R., SEIU, CAIR, etc. Did you get Mikey Moore? (granted, He read about all the Twinkles and confused the ‘l’ with an ‘i’–easy to do)
@DamnCat,
Are cat toes long enough to do twinkles?
@Son of Bob
At least they aren’t webbed. RACIST!
@DamnCat,
Are you mocking the European Royalty? CLASSIST!
It was a long time ago but I’ve been tear-gassed before. Everyone I’ve ever seen whose gotten even a whiff of actual tear-gas, even burly paratroopers, ran away like little girls only with a blob of mucus hanging off their face, myself included. These vids show people standing in the middle of the smoke, no protective gear, waving their little fists. And then, after coating their lungs with colored smoke, bent over trying to hack it back out. What these kids are getting gassed with is just signalling smoke like you’d throw out to let the choppers know where to land.
Oh, and I like the big smiles on the ones that get arrested, they know they’ll get a shower and a decent meal along with the cred.
@ Burt
Are you defending European Royalty? MONARCHIST!
Not really over fond of the Monarchy, however, I was amused when HuffPo made the bid deal out of Prince Harry buying the Vibram running shoes. Are they trying to claim that he isn’t really a royal?
Allow me to re-iterate that I’ve personally met Herman Cain earlier this year when he came to my church – to go to church, not to give any sort of campaign speech. I spoke to him for about 4 or 5 minutes, and at no point did he offer me any free pizza.
Seriously, Frank – that column was outstanding – really one of your best.
My Christmas tree lights twinkle. Okay, so do my sky-blue eyes.
Seriously, DamnCat, your tail is disgusting. Look what it’s attached to… near.
“* Anyway, so differences between Tea Party and OWS so far:
-Tea Party leaves after they make their point”
— Tea Party HAS a point !
In defense of DamnCat, you gotta admit that although cat paws are not well equipped to down twinkle, they are adept at scratching the faces off of people (hippies) they don’t like.
My two favorite columns are Maybe We Should Go Back to Only Using the Military to Kill and Destroy and Nuke the Moon.
“But it’s important that the OWS people stand their ground so they can… what is it they’re trying to do again?”
They’re providing police with tear gas and beanbag round target practice. i fully support their efforts in taking as many rounds as possible.
I just dropped some crumbs on my keyboard, is that filthy enough to participate in the occupation? The crumbs were from a birthday cake provided at the expense of the boss, so that’s all good. There, I just drummed my fingers on my mouse pad, too. Drumming and eating food I didn’t buy! Making a mess out of a space I don’t own! I’m getting into the swing of this civil disobedience stuff. And I’m going to keep doing it until I get what I want!!!
Fixed to be more relevant:
Let’s say you
hadpicked two apples and another person — let’s call him “Rich” — alsohadpicked two apples. If you thengotpicked one more apple and Richgotpicked 80 more apples, would you now have more apples? No, you’d have fewer apples — fewer than that other guy who has an unfair number of apples!My guess would be it involves a thermonuclear device meeting the moon in a violent manner.
Hey, Frank, your Washington Post piece is hilarious. I enjoyed it!!!
The problem is that the 99% nation will soon develop into a 98%-1%, and we have to get rid of the 1% again, becoming a 98% nation; which will soon become a 97%-1% and we have to get rid of the 1% again; ……….and so on and so forth………….until we become the 1%-0% nation.
It is altruistic and fair, but damn frustrating when we run out of 1%’s to get rid of. Otherwise it is a fun way to self-extermination.

Sorry, your New York Post piece is hilarious. I enjoyed it!!!
“There’s no point in working hard to try to become one of the 1 percent ourselves, because what’s the chance of that happening? One in 100? Who would play a lottery with odds that bad?”
Ooh! I would! I would!
