		<description>It&apos;s fun to watch Mayor Jean Quan, of Oakland, squirming. When she was praising the &amp;quot;Occupiers&amp;quot; they hadn&apos;t run up over $5 million in damages and other costs. Forgetting her own recent love affair with them she calls for the Occupiers to &amp;quot;stop using Oakland as its playground&amp;quot; and says &amp;quot;People in the community and people in the Occupy movement have to stop making excuses for this behavior.&amp;quot;</description>
