The fortunately inimitable NY Times:
Cities Begin Cracking Down on ‘Occupy’ Protests"Patience"! One can only marvel at the puerile banality of this tutelary/parental view of the relationship between the state and its subjects.OAKLAND, Calif. — After weeks of cautiously accepting the teeming round-the-clock protests spawned by Occupy Wall Street, several cities have come to the end of their patience and others appear to be not far behind.

A manager assigns his staff some impossible tasks, to be accomplished within an impossible deadline. The agonized employees fail to reach these goals. The manager frets, sighs, frowns, squirms, fumes, gabbles, blusters; rattles off capitalized, italicized, double-question mark, triple-exclamation point memos; summons workers to long and clammy conferences; prowls the corridors and ravages hapless whisperers; and acts in general like a frenetically talentless diva. After a few days of this queasy bathos have passed, the inevitable tirade before the troops occurs; and it will always include the line "I think I've been more than patient with all of you."
