Occupywiki opens as a giant online bulletin board in support of the worldwide occupy movement. London wants: wolly hats and scarves, offered: Xerox Phaser 3500 office copier.

San Diego -
In a predawn raid, on Friday October 28, hundreds of police officers in full riot gear, wielding batons converged on the Occupy San Diego tent city in front of the Civic Center building. 51 people were arrested including several members of the media.

Brussels -
Euro-Zone leaders reached a deal that will require private holders of toxic Greek debt to take a 50 percent haircut on their bond holdings. Whether it's enough to stave off the looming meltdown of southern euro-union members has yet to be seen.

A recent report simmering from Great Britain indicates Brits are disposing over 2.5 billion non-disposable cups a year. Does that equate to one cup per Starbucks location?

Berlin -
The term "contagion" being bandied about in the world press is short for "Bad Debts Created from Worthless Financial Derivatives" that have infected all aspects of the world economy. Germany took a cautious position today promising no quick fixes.

Los Angeles -
Occupy Wall Street Los Angeles entered its 15th day under clear skies, with surf running one to three feet out of the south, prevailing off-shore breezes and temperatures rising precipitously near city hall.

Los Angeles -
Occupy Wall Street has expanded to Los Angeles where City Hall is surrounded by a sea of tents under a blue sky and warm sun. While the protest is loud and well organized, clear goals have yet to emerge.

Some of the worst terrorists we face on the anniversary of 9/11, are the ones living within our own borders. They don't wear Burkas, or hide in caves, or live in two story condos in Pakistan. They're called Banksters.

The cause of the debt ceiling debate has been largely ignored. The root cause doesn't stem from Capital Hill. It's from a street 228 miles hard north.

As the debt-ceiling deadline looms, Republicans need to step the plate and save themselves.
Contrary to popular rhetoric, the current debt crisis is not the fault of Democrats or Republicans. It’s the economy stupid!

President Obama stormed out of a meeting yesterday after the two sides couldn’t agree on what to do with the debt ceiling. Meanwhile, Moody’s has threatened to downgrade the U.S. Credit Rating. It should have happened three years ago!
|
|
We're about ready to hit the debt-ceiling. Congress and the President have drawn battle lines and the world, particularly China, stands at ringside with worried, angry glares.
|
|
We're not even close to recovering from the great recession of 2008. Why? It's three strikes and you're out: Housing Declines, Rising Unemployment, and the National Debt.
