Tune in today and watch more Occupy protesters being arrested. Our own Occupy rap sheet continues to expand.
At least 15 Occupy Wall Street protesters were arrested Thursday after marching on Goldman Sachs to deliver an “indictment” of the financial giant.
It seems the #Occupy crowd in New York has already jumped the shark and overstayed their welcome. The local neighborhood “Community Board”, which had last month fawned over the protest is losing patience:
“It’s a crime scene down there, and it’s attracting all of the worst people in this city,” said a board member. “We’re hearing reports of rapes, assaults, violence, drug use. The mentally ill are assembling. It’s a public hazard.” There is also concern for businesses. “At this rate, they’re not going to make it through the Christmas season,” the chair of the Small Business Committee said, bluntly. He mentioned Mark Epstein, owner of the Milk Street Café, by name. “This is a new business and he’s not going to make it. It’s an outrage. After all of the economics problems with the loss of the World Trade Center, this is too much to take.”
Meanwhile, there seems to be little doubt which direction Greece is ultimately going – down. The questions are, how far, how are they going to get there and how long will it take?
ATHENS — Facing a no-confidence vote on Friday after a tumultuous day of political gamesmanship, Prime Minister George A. Papandreou has called off a referendum on Greece’s new debt deal with the euro zone after winning a measure of support from his opposition and managing to repair, at least temporarily, a major rupture in relations with Europe.
Another jobs report, another sign of a stalled economy:
Both the number of unemployed persons (13.9 million) and the unemployment rate (9.0 percent) changed little over the month. The unemployment rate has remained in a narrow range from 9.0 to 9.2 percent since April.
Internet giant Google Inc. is considering a plan to offer paid cable-TV services to consumers, a move that could unleash a new wave of competition within the traditional TV business.
Congress is increasingly impatient with the White House. Join the club!
House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Cliff Stearns said Thursday the panel issued a subpoena request for White House documents related to the half-billion-dollar loan to the now-bankrupt solar company Solyndra because President Barack Obama’s staff was “slow-walking this whole process.”
The Obama administration never seems to be fast and furious when you want it to be. But we do know they’re capable of it when they want to be.
In addition to having nearly unhindered access to our southern border, the most violent gangs in the Western hemisphere were armed to the teeth by the US federal government. The results are what one would expect. We know at least one US Border Patrol agent and hundreds of Mexican citizens were killed as a result. The guns are still out there and so are the gangs. Meanwhile, local law enforcement and border patrol agents must contend with the consequences created by elements outside of their control.
