14. Sweet, but don't forget the criminal Alameda County Sheriffs, who beat Berkeley students and
are likely the ones who shot Scott Olsen.

#OCCUPY! :)

3. Yep.
The shit is about to hit the fan in Oakland.

The mayor and the city council have stated that they are going to shut down the occupation.

9. We are aproaching it, but nope, we are not quite there yet

11. Do they ever?
Here is the list of things that will make it accelerate coming from the super committee.

Cuts to medicare

Keep the bush cuts, because we know the top one percent have suffered enough :sarcasm:

Attacks on the retirement and medical of military retirees, that is 20 plus years of service

Oh did I mention student debt?

It is coming to a head... methinks the tipping point will be the agreement of the super committee

Now on tonight, I NEED to find my stream.

4. Are these the veterans who are upset...
...because Obama hasn't started enough wars, or because he hasn't ended enough wars.

I meet both kinds
