How many of THESE funny items could you see at the ‘Nationwide Day of Rage FAIL’?

So how do you tell if a lefty rally is an EPIC FAIL?

Here’s my take: If the rally is so small that observers can’t fill up a respectable number of squares on the above bingo card, the rally is a FAIL. If the rally was billed as “nationwide” and almost nobody shows up, the additional element of hubris makes the rally an EPIC FAIL.

Zombie’s articles deserve a Pulitzer Prize. Problem is, acceptance of a prize could threaten the anonymity that Zombie needs in order to bring us these marvelous photo essays.

Zombie: Day of FAIL: Nationwide anti-capitalist revolution flops

September 17 was supposed to be the Day of Rage, the starting point of an anti-capitalist revolution that (in theory) was going to sweep the country coast-to-coast. As I noted yesterday, “The plan is to protest in state capitals and major cities across the nation, but the focus of the revolution will be in New York, where a hoped-for 20,000 anti-capitalists will ‘occupy’ Wall Street.”

I dutifully sent my operatives out to cover what were to be three of the largest Day of Rage protests — in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles — so humanity would have a full record of this pivotal moment in history.

Really, I should have learned my lesson by now: The bigger the build-up to a protest, and the more grandiose the promises, the louder the sound of the bellyflop onto the dustbin of irrelevancy.

In other words: “Day of Rage” was a massive FAIL.

This photo essay includes photos from all three protest sites (NY, SF and LA) integrated together, to give you the feel of the fizzled revolution as a whole.
