It would creep me out to be in that room. I think many politicians, Democrats and Republicans alike, are sociopaths. I'd say that the difference is that there are considerably more Republicans who are also sadists on top of being sociopaths (which not every sociopath is).

Just my two cents.

Just like Cenk, they're all about holding the powerful in check.

Maybe I'm confusing the powerful with the powerless, I get my suffixes mixed up sometimes.

By the way, so far in this hour only Fox News has covered Occupy (nothing from CNN or MSNBC). Granted, they were fear-mongering but everyone already knew that.

But up until that point it was the same, outside of TYT on Current (and Fox of all places) it was all Afghanistan, nothing about OWS.

I know it was breaking news, but couldn't they spare ONE segment to talk about the strike?
