As Predicted....

Back on October 17 COTTonLINE observed that "General Winter" would beat the Occupy Wall Street movement. Then on October 28 we noted that the mainstream media had recognized this possibility.

Here we are in early December and mirabile dictu, the death of the movement is being reported. See this column on Andrew Breitbart's Big Journalism, by author John Nolte, which includes photos you may not have seen, or want to see.

Nolte believes the movement is dying of its own total ickiness; a factor which while real is overvalued. Unfortunately, human beings are willing, even eager to be icky.

I maintain that General Winter won the "war." Living in a tent in wet and freezing weather may be fun for an ice fishing weekend, not for much longer as General Washington learned at Valley Forge.
