The OWS protesters are giving a voice to majority of the people. There may be some who are just unaware of why they are there. The important thing is that the message is put forward: that we need real jobs and actions from the government. These tax and political issues must be answered and people need them now.

Instead of tugging at the apron strings of a disinterested -or otherwise interested- baby sitter while the parents are away, why not go outside in the yard and grow your own values.
Anyone with a plot of soil to plant in can grow plants to attract more of what is wholesome and beneficials -and when combined collaboratively with what others are growng and have grown, can in a few days have a combined value of surpassing worth -even while the baby sitter is still asleep on the coach or talking on the cell phone to buddies’‘.
Become better informed. No one who has hands and feet need remain ‘unemployed’ or unempoyable. This can be done!

Half of those jobs added were from Verizon workers returning to work…

Mitt Romney gets airtime (over and over and over again) but Robert Scheer does not mention (or forgot) that Ron Paul would end the wars and the drone strikes as soon as he was sworn in and legally able to do so.
It’s as if Ron Paul doesn’t exist. Here, there and everywhere, in the “establishment”.
Why is that?
Could it be that Ron Paul threatens Real Change? And here i thought the purpose was truth.

RE: Chrystia (et all to be fair) on the Occupy Wall Street movement….
Tea Party: Get your government off my Medicare
Occupy Wall Street: They don’t really have a plan… they are just stoned all the time.
Why not just say the internal contradictions of the occupy Wall Street movement is that they are all a bunch of paranoid schizophrenics which are (Tony should agree) potentially dangerous to themselves and others.
I know you don’t accuse folks of being communist sympathizers outed by Glenn Beck on this show. So barring that…. why not just call them homicidal maniacs for the sake of fairness and balance.
Here is a contradiction… How come these anarchists are not smashing things up and setting police cars on fire.
Sounds pretty suspicious to me.
Where is the Goddamn Tear Gas and riot gear???
I think my head is going to explode!!!
RE: Jobs
Whoppee!!!
What a mission… I-phones…
You have gone some ways to redeem yourself Mr. Scheer
Chrystia: The pain??? Devoted to excellence??? Apple is an authoritarian organization in service of Jobs???
Blankley: Fast Five
Scheer: I (EmileZ) missed it.
Chrystia: take occupy Wall Street seriously!!!!
The host: it is all a bunch of fucking baloney!!!
Congress is shit!!!
..Let’s call the whole thing off….fade
Thank you for paying attention to EmileZ’s shorthand and please hire him.

Bob- Thank you for the Steve Jobs comment. I can’t believe how so many people
have been worshiping at the cult of Jobs. Everything you said was true. I love the
computers, but we need real jobs (small j). What we need is someone to make
new power source to take care of us as the oil runs out.
I really appreciate you speaking out on behalf of the little guy. That’s me.
Thankfully, right now at least, for the time being, I have a job and health care. But
that could change at any moment. I worry about how baldy the big guys are
running the economy of the world. I fear another crash.
I think the Occupy Wall Street protesters are doing a good thing. Thanks for
Report thisspeaking up for them.
