Satire about OWS Trips Up Rick Perry - intelligent or clever stuff may not be his thing :)
First listen to these few sentence quoting a man named "Jeremy"

And now realize
that though it was a reasonable paraphrase of the quote from “Jeremy” in Toronto, who appeared in the Toronto Globe and Mail saying, “It’s weird protesting on Bay Street. You get there at 9 a.m. and the rich bankers who you want to hurl insults at and change their worldview have been at work for two hours already. And then when it’s time to go, they’re still there. I guess that’s why they call them the one per cent. I mean, who wants to work those kinds of hours? That’s the power of greed.”
that the Problem is, there is no “Jeremy.”

The quote was from a satirical piece by columnist Mark Schatzker, entitled “Occupy Toronto: The one-week anniversary party.” Above that headline was the word, “Satire.”
