On this day, September 3, I John Presco, the President of OCCUPY, call for another OCCUPY. Was it ten years ago I declared myself the President of OCCUPY on the Facebook of one of Eugene’s Founders?
When I awoke, my angel gave me the go-ahead….
“What is in a name?”
Irving Frederick De Rougemont Esq. lived in a great house in Paddington. How do I know it was great? He has SIX SERVANTS! This is not Downton Abbey, a fine country estate. This is the………….CITY OF LONDON!
Irving belonged to a musician’s society, and is listed next to….
FERDINAND ROTHSCHILD MP
This series is about the fine estate of the De Rougmont family in Paddington. A servant informs Lord Rougemont there is a old man in a tent in front of his home.
“He claims he is the illegitimate son of Gulley Jimson, and is the President of..
OCCUPPY LONDON!”
“Jimson? That name sounds familiar. What does the poor bastard want?”
Don’t you find it quite odd, that a rich man knows the names of his six servants, but, doesn’t know the names of his parents? Perhaps these Rougemonts are..
HIDING SOMETHING?
Oh – how exciting! Everyone loves a good mystery – with a butler in it!

The Horse’s Mouth is a 1944 novel by Anglo-Irish writer Joyce Cary, the third in his First Trilogy, whose first two books are Herself Surprised (1941) and To Be a Pilgrim (1942).
Published on 28 August 1944,[1] The Horse’s Mouth follows the adventures of Gulley Jimson, an artist who would exploit his friends and acquaintances to earn money, told from his point of view, just as the other books in the First Trilogy tell events from their central characters’ different points of view. Cary’s novel also uses Gulley’s perspective to comment on the social and political events of the time.
Plot
Jimson’s father, based on a real person known to Cary, was an Academy artist who is heart-broken when Impressionism drives his style from popular taste. Jimson has put aside any consideration of acceptance by either academy or public and paints in fits of creative ecstasy. Although his work is known to collectors and has become valuable, Jimson himself is forced to live from one scam or petty theft to the next. Cadging enough money to buy paints and supplies, he spends much of the novel seeking surfaces, such as walls, to serve as ground for his paintings
