"America's leisured varsity class"
Mark Steyn's must-read piece on the Wall Street protesters at NRO:
"In the old days, the tribunes of the masses demanded an honest wage for honest work. Today, the tribunes of America’s leisured varsity class demand a world that puts 'people before profits.' If the specifics of their 'program' are somewhat contradictory, the general vibe is consistent: They wish to enjoy an advanced Western lifestyle without earning an advanced Western living."
