NICE GUY
_________
broke his bank, totaled his car and slept with
his wife.
of course, everybody was sleeping with his
wife but a nicer guy you never
met.
T.K. Kemper played a couple of years with
the Green Bay Packers
then a bad knee got him.
he went into automotive repair,
did very good work.
he was a
lousy card player though; we’d get him
drunk and take it all from
him,
his wife lurking in the background, her tits
hanging out.
T.K. Kemper.
big, big guy.
hands like hams.
honest blue eyes.
give you the shirt off his back.
give you his back if he could.
one night after work he saw two punks
snatch a purse from an old
lady.
he ran after them when
one of the punks turned, had a gun, fired
5 shots.
he was a big, big guy.
he caught all 5 shots, hit the pavement
hard, didn’t move.
there was a good crowd at the funeral.
his wife cried.
my friend Eddie consoled her,
then took her home and fucked
her.
T.K. Kemper.
bad knee.
good heart.
he was not meant for this indifferent world.
only with supreme luck did he last
29 years.

Well, once again Fox News feel they can attach ‘Occupy’ to an article and be guaranteed a place in the middle column of The Drudge Report.. and they’re right as Matt loves the hits as much as anyone..
I enjoyed the photo more than the story.. one thing I agree with, if we really want to wake American Corporations up to their CEO’s ridiculous salaries we should Boycott Christmas and Chanukah.. but unfortunately the only one’s we would be hurting are the poor Chinese who make all the cheap shit we can’t seem to live without these days..
I think I’m going to boycott something, I just don’t know what yet.. but when I do I will add ‘Occupy’ to the front of it to guarantee a flock of links to my page to see what those ‘whacky Occupy liberal hippy pinkos’ are up to.
Article to follow:
Occupy Wall Street-inspired protesters are eyeing a new target — Target. And dozens of other companies.
A campaign under the name “Occupy Black Friday” is trying to enlist supporters to boycott just about every major retailer, and quite a few mid-sized ones, the day after Thanksgiving. The protesters are casting a wide net, urging people to demonstrate against the top retail stores — a list that includes everything from Wal-Mart to Target to Dick’s Sporting Goods to Dollar Tree.
“The idea is simple, hit the corporations that corrupt and control American politics where it hurts, their profits,” the group’s Facebook page reads, describing Black Friday as the “one day where the mega-corporations blatantly dictate our actions.”
