CONSERVATIVES ARE STILL AFRAID OF HIPPIES

A NY Times reporter went out of her way to fit her story on Occupy Wall Street into the long-standing con meme of the evul hippies:
Gunning for Wall Street, With Faulty Aim

By late morning on Wednesday, Occupy Wall Street, a noble but fractured and airy movement of rightly frustrated young people, had a default ambassador in a half-naked woman who called herself Zuni Tikka. A blonde with a marked likeness to Joni Mitchell and a seemingly even stronger wish to burrow through the space-time continuum and hunker down in 1968, Ms. Tikka had taken off all but her cotton underwear and was dancing on the north side of Zuccotti Park, facing Liberty Street, just west of Broadway.

“I’ve been waiting for this my whole life,” Ms. Tikka, 37, told me.
Ms. Tikka was born after 1973.

Nader for a grand Left-Right coalition. He says the libertarians are against Wall Street, but so far I've seen no real plaudits coming from Ron Paul circles or tradcons for the specific protests ongoing and spreading. Not that I've looked widely, but one can hope.
