Wolf in Boy’s Clothing

Guys, I’m waaaay pro-Occupy and generally pro-Naomi Wolf, but her Guardian article that people keep linking to is three parts horseshit and two parts hysteria. DHS doesn’t take orders from Congress, and the lobbying memo has nothing to do with the evictions. Paragraph-to-paragraph, her article suggests she’s got sleep exhaustion more than it does a federalized response to the occupations. Hold yourselves to the same standards you hold those you disagree with: it’s not as crazy as birtherism, but it’s crazier than Solyndrism.
