Howard calls Occupy Wall Street “stinky hippies”
He hated them in the Sixties because they shunned the Amboy Dukes.
Then he got lucky in the mid-Seventies.
Yes, people, especially young people, have a right to be angry, and the smart ones are focusing their anger on President Obama, Rep. Barney Frank, former Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, and other anti-free-market socialists … The president is losing the support of educated young people in droves.
Of course, the uninspired, uneducated, unskilled and stoned have been conditioned for generations to expect something for nothing …
Instead of busting their humps working two or three jobs, they have time to protest on Wall Street …
Smart people know that [Mr. Michael Moore[ and [Miss Roseanne Barr] represent a fringe movement of people who are poor because they have made a lifetime of poor choices … Stinky hippies, generational slaves to Fedzilla and the transparent entitled are the problem, not the solution.
Ted routinely ridicules people who went to college. He never got over not being particularly popular in Berkeley or Ann Arbor. However, he did use momentary enrollment in community college to avoid service in Vietnam through deferment.

(slightly off topic) Re: “Howard”
DD, is The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre worth a look in your opinion? I have almost no use for movies and television, but I’ll look at it if you think it’s worth it. BTW, I have no motivation in doing this to understand the “new” Ted better. If only he stuck to his guitar…

It’s a good movie. I make the comparison only because his older bearded promo photo made me thing about the character played by John Huston’s dad in the movie. It has nothing to do with the content of the movie, just the linkage of Ted since withdrawn promo picture making him look like the crazy old duffer you’d wish to avoid instead of the manly character he always likes to pass himself off as.
