    Default Where the Hell's the American Spring Thread?

    David Talbot thinks we need it.


    Meanwhile there's this:
    Wall Street and the United Nations Oct. 1.

    CNN, NPR, Hello? New York Times? Hello, anybody there?

    perhaps as folks are forced to depend on locally made and traded goods and services due to the endless economic collapses, the corporate overlords will be easy to dislodge?

    I was reading yesterday that NYT has yet to publish an article on the Wall Street demonstrations. Maybe a list of what "news" organizations in the US, that are not reporting the news, is in order.

    You'd think a guy with a sword in his avatar would be more up on his medieval history.
    They took his hair, Tommy. Jesus that's strange.

For all the misspelled signs and other things that have been popular to ridicule, the Tea Party gang has been far more successful at delivering their message. Most recent left-leaning demonstrations I've seen have been, like the one described in the NYT article, mostly incomprehensible.
