Unlike the bogus astroturf Tea Bagger "revolution," I think OWS is going big.

[Atman]

The only reason the Tea Baggers got any traction was because of the Koch Brothers' millions and unflagging support from the corporate media. The same corporate media which tried to ignore, and even hide from the American public, what was going on in New York. Unlike the fake Tea Bag party, which seems to have totally petered out and whose patsies folded up their lawn chairs, took their walkers and gone home, OWS continues to grow and spread across the country. Grow without the media, in fact in spite of the media. This is how real revolution begins, not by bought-and-paid-for rubes who don't even know they're being played for fools.

Bachmann, Perry, Palin, the new crop of freshmen in Washington finding themselves about to be thrown out of office after one term...you name it, the Tea Baggers have crashed and burned spectacularly while the real Second American Revolution is just beginning.

5. Well, I'm working 14-16 hour days on this shit...

...doesn't give me much time to occupy anything but my office (although I did make it to a Boston rally last weekend), but I'm certainly on the virtual "front lines." I hope it pays off -- I'm salaried, so my hourly wage is declining rapidly!

10. My hat is off to you , I wish my health was better so I could participate

For about 5 hours out of each day I sign petitions, write letters to editors and congress just last week I e-mailed mayor Bloomburg...when one does something to make me see red...I write...today I can't even remember how he made me mad....
