Occupy New Haven
Occupy New Haven is planning for the long haul. Our pols and elites best get their heads out of where the sun doesn’t shine and understand that this is NOT going to go away. The people outside of Wall Street and the Beltway had better stop rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic and do something to improve the general health, morale, and welfare of the majority - the 99%.

We're Leaving Iraq
But not to worry. We certainly won’t be forsaking the Military-Industrial Complex and continuing to spend money recklessly on something that is ambiguous at best and certainly not contributing to the overall improvement of the continental United States.

Occupy Milwaukee - Daily Kos
Here’s one report from Occupy Milwaukee yesterday
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/10/30/1031500/-Occupy-The-Hood:-Milwaukees-March-To-Desolation-Row?via=siderecent
I am familiar with the area the marchers marched to where Tower Automotive used to be. There was a small “down home” restaurant right across from it where we would frequently go for breakfast.

Bridge Over Troubled Water
Joe and Kerry (names listed alphabetically), I’d like to dedicate this song to each of you. This is one of my “most favorite” songs of all time. This was recorded live at a concert in Central Park, NYC, with 500,000 in attendance. I saw Simon and Garfunkel live under the stars at the former Milwaukee County Stadium and it was awesome. Everything about this song is so ethereal -...

Marine Says Oakland Used Crowd Control Methods... →
wearetheweirdos:
As the events that led to Scott Olsen’s injury continue to unfold and investigations begin, we thought it important to offer some perspective. This comment is from a former Marine with special operations in crowd control.

I'll Never Smoke Weed (with Willie Again)
Now, on the lighter side - Toby Keith is a country singer. It needs to saying that Willie Nelson is a pot smoker and apparently smokes on his tour bus. This song is a light-hearted and hilarious “tribute” to that experience:

After watching a cop toss a flash grenade into the crowd around Scott Olsen I’m not so sure. And if you haven’t seen much shut the fuck up about it.
