Wanting the Huffpo to urge on Occupy's radical undercurrents would be like wanting a bishop to movie straight forward. It can't do that. It's just a movable piece, nothing more nor less.<br /><br />And, of course, the game can still be won.Cabeza de Vacanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102937856333775840.post-14089807859368490082011-10-28T17:49:49.363-04:002011-10-28T17:49:49.363-04:00...who were the rebeccas?...who were the rebeccas?Cabeza de Vacanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102937856333775840.post-37966294783472806822011-10-28T15:11:18.452-04:002011-10-28T15:11:18.452-04:00Yahoo Finance is more overtly 'safe for busine...Yahoo Finance is more overtly 'safe for business' than Huffington Post, but I wanted to tear my hair out (and question why I was even reading Yahoo Finance) when I saw this headline, "The Next Worry for Markets: No Deal Yet on US Debt," which is currently the leading story at the site. <br /><br />The headline portends the bleak future for OWS, imo; how long before the Democrats and their enablers co-opt the defense of OWS like they co-opted the defense of the 'social compact' via their Grand Debt Bargain? How long before this all gets rolled into a legislative or electoral pageant with the Democrats (or a portion thereof) playing the good guys and Mr. Market and the Republicans playing the bad guys? <br /><br />All the players are throwing their hands up and confused about the script rewrites with OWS coming on stage. The Democrats thought they were going to be defending the whole 'social compact' from attack by mouthing a few platitudes and attacking the Republicans . . . as they play footsie with the Republicans in rigged super-committees and convoluted legislative processes (prediction: the fightin' Dems will come up just a biiiiiiit short and austerity and Mr. Market will have their way, for the most part).Walter Wit Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102937856333775840.post-26467051527201207262011-10-28T14:38:31.267-04:002011-10-28T14:38:31.267-04:00That's absolutely right, crow.
