Police fire tear gas at Oakland, 200 arrested SHARE
OAKLAND, California (Reuters) - Riot police fought running skirmishes with anti-Wall Street protesters on Saturday, firing tear gas and bean bag projectiles and arresting more than 200 people in clashes that injured three officers and at least one demonstrator.
Three police officers and one protester were injured during the clashes, the city said, without detailing their conditions. Internet broadcasts by activists showed several demonstrators being treated by paramedics or loaded into ambulances.
The scuffles erupted in the afternoon as activists from the Occupy movement sought to take over a shuttered downtown convention center, sparking cat-and-mouse battles that lasted well into the night in a city that has seen tensions between police and protesters boil over repeatedly.

Why is Jon Corzine still at large? SHARE
The clowns and villains who run America have accomplished something really epic: they have vanquished meaning. Nobody knows what anything means anymore. Anything goes now. All bets are off. It's not reassuring. It leads to bad things happening like blood in the streets.

Wall Street Firms Spy on Protesters In Tax-Funded Center SHARE
Wall Street's audacity to corrupt knows no bounds and the cooptation of government by the 1 per cent knows no limits. How else to explain $150 million of taxpayer money going to equip a government facility in lower Manhattan where Wall Street firms, serially charged with corruption, get to sit alongside the New York Police Department and spy on law abiding citizens.

RePost: Letter From A Liberal To A Young Marine (That 53% Guy) SHARE
Open Letter to that 53% Guy
Rarely do I ever like to just repost someone else's work, but this one" this one" is simply a magnificent liberal response to an "anti-99%" letter from a young and hard-working Marine. The understanding the original author presents is an example to me -- and I hope all of us, liberal or conservative -- of how to respond to those who disagree with us. I am humbled and awed at once. Great response Max Udargo. You reset the bar very high.
