As she's gotten more and more irrelevant, her tirades have gotten more and more outrageous and crude in a desperate attempt to hang on to the spotlight. It's pathetic and adds nothing to the national dialogue.

How's that?

Much better!

A number of Wall Street protesters have been arrested in New York during scuffles with police as they marched towards the city's financial district.The confrontation came after activists averted a showdown with authorities who agreed not to move them from a park.Demonstrators said officials' plan to clean Zuccotti Park, where they have been based for weeks, had been a ploy to evict them.The protests against corporate greed have spread to other US cities.Several demonstrations are reportedly planned this weekend in Canada and Europe, as well as Asia and Africa.

Ignore it, just more daddys basement filthy pinko liberals who don't know what's best for them. Gordon Gekko capitalism is great. The number of people sleeping under bridges, is a positive indicator in today capitalistic society. The Dow Jones goes up with the poverty level. You might be starving, but the "bottom line" is healthy.

I mean, if it was 2 people with signs I could understand everyone discounting it.

Multiple cities in the USA and overseas? Ah, it's nothing, Lets just keep privatizing the profits, and socializing the losses, then turn around and call the other side communist when they get mad at corporate welfare.

Use your brains, dont let your favorite news source make up your minds for you. Don't let your favorite political party do it either. They are into self preservation and do not represent you.

I don't think Steed was looking for a lecture on what to do. He was just saying they'd spread to Europe.

Its serious to everyone, even to those who ridicule it, and pretty soon ignoring it will no longer be an option either.
