4:53 PM: Occupy Metropolis.


5:12 PM: Colbert as DFH (or Che?) - anyway, great stuff.


6:08 PM: I love how ballsy this is - whether it "works" or not, at least this movement is fucking fighting back! Solidarity to Oakland!


6:21 PM: Dean Baker, who I'm interviewing Friday, is quite funny:

David Brooks Complains That He Can't Get Access to Inequality Data

Actually he didn't complain about his lack of access to data, but he probably should have given the column he wrote today.

8:34 PM: Bank of America backs off debit fees.

"@MMFlint: #OccupyWallStreet scores a victory - Bank of America retreats. Debit card fees dropped: mmflint.me/uFYFK9" #OccupyBoston

9:07 PM: G20 and Occupy...



9:21 PM: At every turn, OWS gets it right. With respect to the idea that disruptive elements are being sent to Zuccotti Park, OWS didn't buy into seeing those sent to Zuccotti as a "they" and instead said these societal "undesirables" are welcome:

“If they are sending people down there, we’ll take them … this movement is so that everybody can have a voice, and we lift each other up. We’re not about to start a class war about who’s being sent to our park.”



10:59 PM: Ht friend of the blog David.
