Stories to Watch: 11/15/11

Did a little tweaking of the blogspot blogs last night. I think it looks good. Now here's the news...


A judge declares Zuccotti Park a free-speech-free zone.


Are mayors coordinating the crackdown on the Occupy movement? Sure sounds like it.


During a presidential debate, Newt Gingrich said he was paid by Freddie Mac to be "a historian." If that sounded insane to you at the time (why does a lender need a freakin' historian?), that's because it was bullshit. Newt was hired as a lobbyist to "to build bridges to Capitol Hill Republicans and develop an argument on behalf of the company’s public-private structure that would resonate with conservatives seeking to dismantle it." In short, Newton is a liar. Pure and simple.


David Brooks wrote something stupid again.


Two people who worked for him are now confirming the obvious; "investigative journalist" James O'Keefe has zero interest in journalism and only wants to push propaganda.


Both Google and Facebook oppose an anti-piracy bill. Why? Because it's so stupidly written that both services could be held responsible for the way other people use them. Imagine Ford having to answer for every hit-and-run or drunk driver in a Mustang and you get an idea of what the problem is here.


Texas executes mostly black people.


John Boehner is a prick.


Finally, remember how ketchup became a vegetable under Reagan? Now pizza's a vegetable, according to House Republicans. I know it's a crazy idea, but how about we stop declaring things to be other things? Because that's stupid.
