BehindDarkEyes spotted some Santas in Speedos warming up for their annual December run by declaring Speedos are a Human Right at the anti-war march/OccupyBoston on Saturday.
More photos. Photographynatalia also photographed Occupy Boston this weekend. H/Boston took photos. Mike Ball posted a set.

As expected
As expected, Occupy Boston is becoming/has become/always was a catchall for any old thing. There is no communal vision or direction whatsoever.
Agreed.
This only cheapens the "real message" of this whole thing.
On the contrary...
Isn't the Santa Speedo Run a very popular charity event among the folks in the financial services industry?
This could well be a small smack of sarcasm from folks more loyal to the 1% crowd...
So does working in the
So does working in the financial sector make you a millionaire? Also, do the millionaires/billionaires who donate directly to Occupy Boston get automatic exemption from being part of that 1%? Perhaps instead of defining these rules about who doesn't belong in the occupy club, we can try to find ways of working towards our common goals. Isn't that what being part of the 99% is all about?
If you don't get the point
Then nobody here is going to help you. The point is pretty clear, and has been all along. Just because Faux Noose didn't personally invite you and sponsor the proceedings doesn't get you off the hook for not listening.
Right on!
Maybe we can get the Koch brothers to tell us what to think and say.
I just know
George Soros is hiding in those plum smugglers.
Occupy Main Street
I think these jaspers are just making fun. I've been known to wear a speedo myself, but only in a zero-gravity environment.
But EM Painter Inc would be a lot better off if eveybody making $40K/year made $60K+/year, better than if all the millionaires tripled their art spending or the government tripled arts grants.
Probably will regret this, but...
Pics or it didn't happen.
Overheard an interesting conversation
At Occupy Boston this afternoon. A (homeless?) guy was being politely but firmly told by a older gentleman with a broom, a fluorescent vest and a thick southie accent that he couldn't leave his stuff there and go off somewhere else. He had left a pile of pretty rank smelling stuff and the organizers had moved it to clean up a corner and put a stage or something there. He was told that that he was welcome to join the protest, but that leaving stuff abandoned was not allowed, and wasn't in keeping with the goals of the movement.
Ironically...
and fortunately for those of us who have seen the photos, they are among the 1% of Americans who can pull off a Speedo. Not among the 99% of Americans who can't.
