…is that you need to tell the same<\/i> lie every time.<\/p>\n

I read this<\/a> today:<\/p>\n

Protestor Mike Anger, 29, told Nashville’s News 2 he left his home and sales job in Lexington, Kentucky to protest at the plaza. <\/p>\n

“I just kind of put my life on hold for this cause,” said Anger, who has been arrested twice at Legislative Plaza.<\/p>\n

Anger said he is unsure if he will return to his corporate job because it represents what the Occupy movement is fighting against.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The first thing that went through my head was, “Wow! This guy is campaigning against corporations, but the corporation he works for gave him a month off! And they didn’t fire him? What?”<\/p>\n

So I googled him. Guess what came up?<\/p>\n

An article from three days ago<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Mike Anger, 30, of Lexington, Ky., is an unemployed bartender with a 6-year-old son. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess “bartender” is kind of like<\/i> “corporate sales job” but he’s still got the whole “I might go back to my job” vs “unemployed” thing to work out. One or the other, bucko.<\/p>\n

And seriously, why did he leave his home and his 6 year old son to protest in Nashville when his home town has it’s own occupy protest<\/a>?<\/p>\n

This isn’t a protest. It’s urban camping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
