  1. The aussie video is horrendous. Surreal.

    I like the Fox new viddy. Very fun. Love the brits.

  2. That Fox News send-up is frikking hilarious.

  3. Great video first seen at Balloon Juice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9zkQcLi4Yo

    It's in line what I've been feeling for a week or so--that, to the extent you oppose #OWS, you just expose yourself as stupid or complicit. Really, really good.

  4. Digby has a post, Sophisticated Strategery, that gives some very smart, IMO, advice to #OWS.
