Oh, come on! It’s not as if the Dems were actually supporting Occupy Wall Street! They were just trying to exploit them with a fundraising letter.

    i’ve received a few of those letters myself, but I never give money.
    instead i call up and explain why I won’t give them money.

    the dems are really in a bind here. they’re not going to be able to co-opt the occupiers very well since the occupiers know their promises are worth shit.

    otoh, if the dems lose more voters, then the GOP will be the big winner by default, and I don’t know if the USA can survive another four years of that.

    And this is what happens because Obama refused to clean house of right-wing Bush appointees: A crusading GOP critic of the Obama Justice Department’s Voting Section, Hans von Spakovsky, has admitted to having Department sources that are leaking apparently confidential and highly personal information that he is using to viciously attack Voting Section staff and to smear the Department at large. Leaking such information—including details from ongoing Inspector General inquiries into a previous media leak and detailing the behavior of [...]

    Occupy broadcaster evicted

    For no discernible reason. A little “selective enforcement,” perhaps? Earlier this morning, Global Revolution Studios was ordered to vacate from their building by the NYPD in conjunction with the building department. It took three separate departments visiting 13 Thames to finally come up with a reason to remove the Global Revolution team with a posted notice despite having all applicable paperwork for the department of buildings in order. The reason given to me by the Global Revolution team is “A [...]

    Seriously, how frustrating (and silly) is this, that the DEA is keeping people from getting needed medication? Medicines to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are in such short supply that hundreds of patients complain daily to the Food and Drug Administration that they are unable to find a pharmacy with enough pills to fill their prescriptions. The shortages are a result of a troubled partnership between drug manufacturers and the Drug Enforcement Administration, with companies trying to maximize their profits [...]

    Hmm. We already know austerity is the right thing to do, but What do you suppose will happen? Oh, I don’t know, you don’t suppose they’ll have a housing crash, do you? Nearly seven million Britons are risking a “spiral of debt” through using credit cards, overdrafts and payday loans to pay off their rent or mortgage, a major housing charity has warned. Of those almost one million have taken out high interest payday loans to meet housing costs, in [...]
