The women were ages 69 to 82, and they stood on a sidewalk holding signs that demanded lower fees, higher taxes for the wealthy and a freeze on foreclosures.

COH please.

    These young dope smoking hippies really need to just get a job... I mean really. The banksters are here to protect us all, and if these flower children want to have their free love and not contribute to the banksters pay day then....

    Oh... they were grannies?... Hmm... Interesting... :)
