http://youtu.be/qlPY9AfQFqI?t=1m22s Here is a clip from a speaker at yesterday’s Occupy Wall Street demonstration in Los Angeles. Here’s what he says after calling for a bloody worldwide revolution (note the cheers afterward.) Are these the protests with which the Democratic Party really wants to align? Nancy Pelosi might want to begin backtracking.

Romney Solid as a Rock in Granite State Debate
The New York Times has it right today: Mitt Romney won last night’s debate in New Hampshire hands-down by staying above the fray –and looking well-prepared to challenge President Obama next year. All the Republicans in last night’s debate comported themselves well. Each was articulate and well briefed. But Romney was most impressive, looking for the first […]

http://youtu.be/B_suSTi4BAs A lot of eyes will be on businessman Herman Cain in tonight’s Republican Primary debate in New Hampshire. Cain’s dramatic rise in the polls is being seen as a temporary phenomenon by most political professionals. But what if he continues to excel in the polls? What if he continues to get better as a candidate? Is there room for a complete outsider […]

People I know are being quoted now as spokesmen for the Occupy Wall Street protests. That means anything once genuine about these demonstrations is now gone. The protests have become professionalized, better yet, institutionalized. (Is there anything more stinging to an aspiring radical?) The idealistic young people who started Occupy Wall Street probably don’t realize […]

President Obama is being wrongly accused of failing to lead the nation. His leadership is now on clear display in lower Manhattan any day of the week. It’s in the 1968-retread slogans painted on cardboard signs in Zuccotti Park. It’s on the faces of the young people scrawling them day and night. It’s in […]

Must-read piece by Weekly Standard senior editor Matt Labash on his time with the politically scatter shot Wall Street “occupiers.” It’s a real gem. Guaranteed to make you laugh. Here is an excerpt: But on one of OWS’s many affinity-group websites, they did take a stab at quasi-officially listing their grievances. Get a snack. This will […]

Many years ago, while waiting for a bus to arrive in New York City’s grimy old Port Authority Bus Terminal, I picked up a tattered copy of Forbes “Richest Americans” that had been left behind on a bench. It included short interviews with about a dozen titans of industry, who, in a nutshell, were asked […]

In case anyone is interested, here’s a live video feed the Wall Street protests. It’s provided by a group called “Global Revolution” that’s probably funded by Wall Sreet’s George Soros. I hate to give them ink, but hey, it’s not like this site is Drudge. Interested in your reactions. Makes me want to scream, but it’s addictive. In […]

http://youtu.be/lxUSrur9BTk And on a lighter note… A gray squirrel has been visiting the National League Championship Series at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. Still uncaught, he has quickly become a crowd favorite. I’m sure he’s been named already, but, if not, I vote for “Spirit.” If the Cardinals go all the way, this little guy […]

A terrible image acquired from an essay I once read about The Great Famine in Ireland comes to mind whenever I read about starvation: dead children scattered along verdant roadsides with hands and mouths stained bright green. They ingested grass by the fistful to stave off hunger pains before dying. That haunting image returned this […]
