A police officer informed the protesters that the tents they were erecting on Thursday afternoon were not permitted.   The police did not take action immediately and attempts to learn about subsequent developments by listening for news reports on KCBS news radio were unproductive.  

 

The columnist functions as the writer, typesetter, editor, fact checker, for this column but also has to do the computer work necessary (download from the Coolpix, edit the photos and transfer the ones selected for possible use to a memory stick and then posted online in a place where the html process can find and fetch it for use when the column is posted on Friday morning) to add photos to the column.

 

[Note:   there is a labor dispute in progress at the World's Laziest Journalist's headquarters and the proofreaders have been locked out until they give up their silly demands for wages and other benefits.]

 

Would it be appropriate if the World's Laziest Journalist were to be well paid to not cover Occupy Cal?   How can "hush money" be spun so that it sounds commendable?  

 

On Friday morning, KCBS news radio was not making any mention of the Thursday student protest and so the World's Laziest Journalist will have to take a circuitous rout to the computer which will be used to post the column online and check to see if the tents are still making their mute protest or if the protesters have folded their tents and faded away into the night.

 

On Friday morning, that news station was reporting about a Thursday night public meeting in Oakland where members of the public made charges of police brutality against the participants in the Occupy Oakland events.

 

Recently this columnist has suggested that there might be a need for an unofficial meeting place for a Berkeley Press Club.   Apparently the columnist misjudged the level of enthusiasm such a suggestion might generate.   Only one reader responded to the idea of such a group.  

 

On Thursday, the news media seems to regard Occupy Cal as a fad that has faded.

BP graduated from college in the mid sixties (at the bottom of the class?) He told his draft board that Vietnam could be won without his participation. He is still appologizing for that mistake. He received his fist photo lesson from a future (more...)
