It reminded me of Sean Hanitty show a few nights ago. He was interviewing a 29 yr old grad school dweeb affiliated with Occupy. After listening patiently to the guy's whines and complaints, SH finally had enough and veered off-script to launch a blithering rant ending with(I paraphrase)--'get up at 6 AM every day, get out Zucotti Park, get off your laptop and pound the pavements until you find a job, any job.' I'm not a big SH fan but that night I sent him a "thumbs up".
