What I'm reading today

I don’t want to occupy Wall Street. I want to evict it from places it has no business being, namely our government. We need to Occupy Government—not by marching on it but by restoring it to what it was intended to be, a representative republic of the People. No matter what Mitt Romney says, corporations are not and never will be people.

BobNBama: They wonder why we don't like them?
We all have a choice. Don’t let yourself be treated like a sheep to be sheared. Don’t do business with companies that don’t value you as a customer.
Why poor, white voters vote against their self interest
It boggles the mind. But then again, people, especially poor people, have a long history of voting against their own self-interest because they believe that if they work hard enough, they too can be rich.

Occupy Fox News
The real protesting, however, will be going on outside the meeting as the Occupy Los Angeles crowd migrates over from their base in Downtown L.A. to give Fox a taste of what it’s like to be occupied. They will be joined by FreePress, Change to Win, Common Cause LA, Brave New Films, and others.

As the nation stumbles toward what could become an epic replay of the 1968 presidential election, many in the Washington political media are hunting for cover. At least that's a charitable explanation for the fad of sentimental bipartisanship among the nation's deepest-thinking pundits.
Libyan Government warns NYPD to Exercise Restraint
TRIPOLI (The Borowitz Report) – As arrests mounted in the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York City, Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) issued a stern statement today warning the NYPD to exercise restraint.

“The Libyan transitional government regards any attempt to infringe upon the American protesters’ right to express themselves as a violation of international standards of free speech and liberty,” the Libyan statement read. “We will not sit idly by and watch this happen.”
