Gimme.” Also, the phrase “It’s all about me” crops up. Obviously, it […]

Occupy Raleigh Dies Off On Sunday

I guess they’re not quite as dedicated (News and Observer) Protesters spent a second day outside the state Capitol building Sunday to show their frustration with government, which they said is too much under the influence of wealthy corporations. Except, they aim their barbs not at government, but, at the private sector. The Occupy folks […]

Why, Yes, Obama Will Co-opt OWS Into A Campaign Theme

No, really, that’s his plan, and he is going to use the rage from the Occupy movement to campaign against Republicans. Then, the same guy who took massive amounts of Wall Street, Big Bank, Big Financial, and Big Corporate money in 2008, voted for bailouts, gave Wall Street, banks, financial institutions, and corporations, will take […]

Anti-Semitism On Display At Occupy LA

From Zombie, we get While there have been intense arguments in the media recently about hints of anti-Semitism which have erupted at New York’s Occupy Wall Street protest, very little attention has been paid to similar problems cropping up at other “Occupy” events around the country.

Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize Decides To Fight Another War In Uganda

3.2 Million Arrested/Washed: #OWS Protesters Arrested After Clashing With Police

Hey, I’m just using Obama math, since @amandacarpenter was wondering if anyone could put together a count of the arrests (MSNBC) New York City police clashed with Occupy Wall Street protesters and arrested at least four of them after owners of the park being occupied ditched cleanup plans that demonstrators claimed were a pretext to […]

Obama Calls Boehner On Trade Bills, Gets Dressed Down

Perhaps Obama shouldn’t have been running his mouth earlier in the day while being campaigner in chief (Politico) President Barack Obama called House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) Thursday to congratulate him for passing three trade agreements — but ended up getting an earful on the jobs debate. According to an unusually detailed account released by […]

Breaking: Subpoena Sent To DOJ And Eric Holder Over Gunwalking

No print stories out yet, will link when they are up. An interesting point is that if Holder claims “executive privilege,” that means that he discussed the issue with the President. Meaning he lied to Congress, and that Obama knows about the whole program. Here we go: Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight […]

LA Times Attempts To Explain That #OWS Folks Aren’t Hippies Without A Plan

Funny, I don’t remember them ever attempting to explain the TEA Party point of view (LA Times) How do you know when a protest movement is starting to scare the pants off the establishment?
