You’ve seen Wall Street, you’ve seen Oakland, but have you seen Occupy Honolulu? Well, you’re about to now. It is part of the MSM, but CBS has put together a slideshow featuring Occupy protesters that’s worth a look. Take a spin through this visual tour of the U.S. for a snapshot of the Occupy movement in each state.

New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

I agree that the headline writer was entirely too flip and even condescending regarding what is an extremely serious topic.

Good help is soo hard to find.

Yeah, for those who can’t find anything else to do.  Why not use
the time to go out and help Occupy?  Go demonstrate!  Send
money!  Put Occupy bumper stickers on your car (if you are not
afraid someone with trash your car that is). 

This is not entertainment as the noxious headline hounds media
would like it to b so they invent romantic ideas that sound good
but are fictions. 
 
These Occupy people are not out there for momentary fun and games.
They want the f’n financial world to change and stop making like 135
billion dollars in a year where everyone else’s income dropped 10%
or more.  ( http://tinyurl.com/4xa8nv3 )
