Reports of Big Labor support come in as NYC police act to remove occupiers from Zucotti Park. Reports indicate as many as 70 people have been arrested.
Sarah Maslin Nir of the New York Times has tweeted a couple of photos of the dawn-light general assembly in Foley Square. More worryingly, someone has brought along their conga drums.There was confused discussion this morning about union support arriving at one of the proposed general assembly locations. The general assembly ended up taking place at Foley Square, and it appears union members are beginning to arrive. Derek Grate, political coordinator at 1199 SEIU, said he was at the square “just to support the First Amendment rights of the people”.
Somewhere between Libya and public sector unions, Herman Cain executed a face plant in the crater resulting from his self-inflicted campaign implosion. How it might impact his already plummeting polling numbers remains to be seen in a very, very strange political year.
Herman Cain came out in support for collective bargaining for wages and other benefits for public sector employees at the Journal Sentinel. And then there is this video on Libya. I think it’s much worse than the Perry flub in the debate.
Given Cain’s likely collapse and Newt’s recent rise, like clock work, the opposition research has already begun to flow. Remain seated, the roller coaster ride of the 2012 GOP primary may not be over yet, folks.
With Newt Gingrich emerging as serious contender, some Republicans are questioning his fitness for a general election campaign by seizing on comments the former speaker made in 2007 about Hispanics. Making the case against bi-lingual education at a National Federation of Republican Women event, Gingrich said children should be taught “the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto.”
Texas Gov. Rick Perry outlined a government overhaul plan today that has zero chance of passing Congress. Still, its a good perspective on his governing principles and a great challenge for the other campaigns:
The plan Perry rolled out at a heating and cooling company in Iowa also calls for requiring a two-thirds vote in Congress for any tax increases and halting all proposed federal regulations.
Several additional alleged victims of Penn State’s Jerry Sandusky have come forward.
Close to 10 additional suspected victims have come forward to the authorities since the arrest of the former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky on Nov. 5 on 40 counts of sexually abusing young boys, according to people close to the investigation. The police are working to confirm the new allegations.
That while Sandusky talks with Bob Costas.
Former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky admitted to showering and horsing around with young boys, but said he is not a pedophile, in an exclusive interview with Bob Costas broadcast Monday night on NBC’s Rock Center.
Hmm….seems lots of Members of Congress are suddenly interested in co-sponsoring the STOCK Act, which would prohibit insider trading by Congressmen.
You think the SuperCommittee is having a tough time tackling the deficit? Looks like they’re going to try to take on the Farm Bill too, passing a “secret” farm bill as part of any overall deficit-cutting plan:
The legislators are using the supercommittee to avoid what would be a more public, election-year debate in 2012, when the current farm bill expires and new legislation would be scheduled for writing, according to critics of the effort.

If you thought a Bronze item turned up in Alaska from a pure archeological dig, you’d be half right. The words blinded by science come to mind for some reason. It’s all about the climate change for science today, must be where the money’s at.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A research team is attempting to discover the origin of a cast bronze artifact excavated from an Inupiat Eskimo home site believed to be about 1,000 years old.
The excavations are part of a project paid for by the National Science Foundation to study human response to climate change at Cape Espenberg from A.D. 800 to A.D. 1400. Archaeologist Owen Mason, a research affiliate with the university based in Anchorage, says six or seven home sites were excavated.
