At Occupy, Out: Drum circles In: Dance circles

http://twitter.com/#!/jopauca/status/197342481610838019

Instead of hopping in a dance circle, looks like they should hop in a shower.

Dance wherever you are! Plus, guitars!

The guitars are starting to trickle into Bryant Park! #M1NYC #NYCGS #OWS

Dissent is patriotic again? Sheesh. Can’t keep up.

Sing along to some of these ditties.

"Workers of the world awaken. Break your chains, demand your rights. All the wealth you make is taken, by exploiting parasites." – Joe Hill

Um. Y’all might want to look in the mirror regarding that parasite thing. And we aren’t just talking about to check for scabies.

you've got to indicate to the people who run it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" – Mario Savio

— Occupy Wall Street (@OccupyWallStNYC) May 1, 2012

You have to work first in order to do that, no? But, hey, keep dancing! That’s totally productive.

http://twitter.com/#!/thickSLICING/status/524707606007652353

Well, let’s take a look. Here’s the headline and article from TIME:

Oh, you clustering conservatives and your Fox News obsession and stuff! But, wait … how on earth could it be explained?

Matt Yglesias: ‘Trust Russell Brand’ on economics of debt relief

http://twitter.com/#!/xbradtc/status/527999954887790592

Sometimes it seems Vox is trying to use sheer morbid curiosity to drive traffic to their site. Why else hire Matt Yglesias?

That’s what we thought at first too, but no.

Trust Russell Brand, not this condescending professor, on the economics of debt relief

Heh.

Young Deer Stuck In a Gate Gets Rescued And Released Back Into The Wild.

This sweet deer had been trying to get from one field to another when it got stuck in between a fence post and a gate. Once caught, he was unable to wiggle himself free.

Luckily for the little deer, Simon Cowel (that’s right) of the UK’s Wildlife Aid Foundation was called for help and managed to get the deer loose quite quickly and without putting it through too much stress. Watch the incredible rescue below:

After inspecting its injuries, Simon determined they weren’t that serious and he wouldn’t need to take the deer back to the animal rescue center. The deer had already faced enough drama for the day and it was time to go home.

Allen West calls out Lady Gaga for ‘reprehensible’ version of National Anthem

http://twitter.com/#!/AllenWest/status/351812606140481537

Lady Gaga was ripped for changing the words to the National Anthem. Former Congressman Allen West didn’t appreciate it, and many people tweeted their agreement:

Not doing fine: Sad news; Restaurant owner dies after serving President Obama; Update: President Obama phones her daughter

http://twitter.com/#!/NathanWurtzel/status/221320429896351744

Oh, dear.

sad news…sudden death of owner of the restaurant where POTUS had breakfast this a.m. in Akron http://t.co/Al9gTOTd

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 6, 2012

More from ABC News:

Just an hour after hosting President Obama for breakfast the owner of an Akron, Ohio, restaurant is dead.

Reporters going to Ann’s Place in Akron to follow up on the President’s choice of breakfast were stunned to learn the restaurant’s owner — 70 year old Josephine “Ann” Harris — died after meeting with him over eggs, bacon and wheat toast, according to Ed Esposito of ABC’s Akron affiliate WAKR.

Some people deal with sad news with humor. Twitter users are no exception.

If that Ohio restaurant owner was feeling ill, he should have just touched the hem of Obama's garment.

I doubt Obama was directly responsible for that restaurant owner's death, but we should probably impeach him just in case.

Perhaps he needs a binder to keep the names of women straight. But, then, aren’t they all just called doll? As long as you can spell “lady parts,” you are all good.

His oopsie aside, Twitter users aren’t enamored with when Touré  met Steinem-y. They do not want what he is having.
