A guy I know refers to the recent restoration of state and local authority in St Louis*, Oakland, Portland (that’s the one with the mortars), and Atlanta (that’s the one with the tuberculosis) – I’ll add Denver and, at this rate, Philadelphia to the list – as ‘Liberations.’
‘Liberations.’
(pause)
I like it. Good, solid, American word. Liberation is what my country does in response to the specter of occupiers. Or ‘Occupiers,’ I guess. Hey, you can’t throw a rock into a crowd of Occupiers… well, you can’t throw a rock into a crowd of Occupiers because they’re already grabbed all the loose ones handy. But if you could, it’d probably hit a Commie. If only because the trust fund kids would be on the ground, protecting their precious Cult of Jobs artifacts**.
