Occupy Escondido Just Luuuuuuvs Starbucks

someecards.com - Let's occupy Starbucks instead.

About 10:30 this morning I was walking into the Escondido Starbucks next to Target off West Valley Pkwy to pick up a few gift cards for Christmas. I could not help but overhear a rather gregarious gentleman on his cell phone seated outside announce, “I’m with Occupy Escondido and I was told....” I couldn’t make out the rest of what he said, but he seemed to be in a pretty jolly mood.

Forgive me, but I can’t help but wonder if he might have been giddy about the fake bomb that was planted at Congressman Darrell Issa’s office at yesterday’s Occupy protest. But I digress...

As I was leaving I noticed the same man seated in a newer looking Chevy...not the bumper sticker riddled beater car or duct tape enhanced bicycle one would expect for a leader of the movement.

Kinda wondering why Mr. Occupy chose Starbucks instead of family-owned Safari Coffee on El Norte Pkwy...or why he’s driving a new car from a company that took one of the biggest Crony bail-outs ever...or why he enjoys that Capitalism produced cell phone so much.

I think Adam Corolla can explain it (via Beers With Demo...scroll down for video) better than I can...

P.S. An unconfirmed eyewitness at yesterday's protest claimes the fake bomb was a jug of fluid covered in wires and duct tape...the fluid turned out to be urine. Yep.
