On November 16, Alec Baldwin had a column in the Huffington Post titled, “What Occupy Wall Street Has Taught Me.” In it, the actor who promised to leave the United States if George W. Bush were re-elected in 2004 reminds us not only that he’s still here, but that he is still as arrogant and illogical as ever.

For example, throughout the column Baldwin talks about the struggles faced by people who are unemployed. And although he doesn’t explicitly say it’s not their fault that they’re unemployed–as it clearly is in some cases–he implies as much when complains that those of us who are gainfully employed seem to believe “that we are not responsible in any way” for those who aren’t.

In other words, it’s not their fault that their unemployed. Rather, it’s the fault of the corporations, of Wall Street, and of big oil. (In case these points seem little more than restatements of what the hippies and freaks of #OccupyWallStreet have been saying, Baldwin admits: “Everything I have put forth here, I have heard articulated from the Occupy Wall Street movement.”)

By the way, according to Baldwin, our bailouts to big oil weren’t always monetary in nature. Rather, “[we] bailed out the oil companies every time you watched … as American troops went to Iraq to fight a war for oil.”

As an aside, I can’t figure out why leftists like Baldwin keep spewing this trash. If we fought in Iraq for oil, where’s the oil? Why are our gas prices rising instead of falling? Don’t get me wrong, I think oil would be a great way for Iraq to repay us for getting rid of Saddam Hussein, but thus far, none has been forthcoming.

The further you read into Baldwin’s column, the more random things get. For instance, at one point he blames our economic woes on the fact that “we have no high speed rail in this country.” The last time he said something this random was in a September column, when he blamed our current economy on the fact that we spent the Bush years fighting “a trillion dollars worth of wars with no tax hikes.”

How utterly idiotic can one man get?

Baldwin is the perfect example of a man who has achieved a modicum of fame and let it go to his head. As a result, he believes no topic is outside his purview so he writes a column excusing the unemployed hippies and freaks of #OccupyWallStreet based on corporate greed, Wall Street, big oil, a refusal to raise taxes, and no high speed rail.

The last time I heard Baldwin throw together such random, unrelated fictions was when his daughter didn’t answer his phone call in April 2007, and left her a voice mail wherein he said:

It’s pick up the phone or get your ass straightened out…You think I made [this call] because I’ve got nothing better to do? I could be shouting shit at random people on the street, but I’m calling you… I’m a good father, and you’re a pig. You better be ready Friday…to meet with me. Pig. Oh, also, tell your mother I said “Go f#$k yourself.”

Let’s face it folks, Baldwin would have done America and his daughter a great favor had he kept his word and left the country when Bush was re-elected. But instead he’s writing these logically-challenged pieces to let the world to know what #OccupyWallStreet has taught him. And he does all this without ever mentioning the fact that this is Obama’s economy: this is Obama’s mess.

Therefore, just for fun, let me tell you what Alec Baldwin has taught me. He has taught me that haughtiness knows no bounds, ignorance no shame, and the Huffington Post no journalistic integrity (for allowing this schmuck to write columns for them).
