Mike Lupica of the NY Daily News rips Eric Cantor up, down, and sideways for hypocritically calling the 99-percenters a "mob." Cantor is a "a dull young congressman clearly aspiring to be an even duller presidential candidate someday," in Lupica's view. He sounds "like one of the pompous patriots of Cable America and talk radio who have made Occupy Wall Street an attack on capitalism. And if it's an attack on capitalism, that means it must be an attack on them. Rich and white. Generally, their rallying cry goes something like this: I've got mine." There's more fire than substance here, but it's still nice to see.
And, of course, the Wall Street Ministry of Propaganda makes a big deal about what the Iranian Ministry of Propaganda says about the Wall Street protests. Heads up to Fox News: the stuff Iran's government says is usually bullshit and smart people don't pay it no never mind no how.
Michael Bloomberg says that the protesters can stay at Zuccotti Park for as long as they want. That'll probably be a nice change from pepper spray and cracking heads.
Rick Perry's already being written off.
Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbinky plans to run for congress, apparently unaware that his 15 minutes of fame ran out a long, long time ago.
The statistical and demographic information you can glean from the We Are the 99% Tumblr blog is really kind of fascinating.
Finally, you kind of wish they'd make up their damned minds. First the Wisconsin GOP puts up metal detectors in the state Capitol, now they want to allow concealed carry there.
