In a way, especially after "getting your head right", Riki-Oh is better than Enter The Dragon.

Spot on, Bobby. These people are crooks. Crooks go to jail, err, unless they're bankers or corporate executives....

I liked the slogan I spotted yesterday "We'll believe that corporations are people when Texas executes one."

Matt Taibbi has some interesting thoughts in the new issue of Rolling Stone on how OWS can bring a little more focus to their agenda with a few concrete demands. Taibbi has always been outspoken in calling Wall Street on their bullshit, and this piece seems pretty on-the-nose.

RL, that's a great quote. An Elliot Ness type of character would be a welcome addition to this dynamic.
In hindsight, there were so many books written and whistle-blowers during the Iraq war about WMDs which didn't affect the past administration one bit - I'll give them credit with regard to capacious gonads.
What strategy would have any impact on injustice these days? I guess that the $700 billion question......

Small businesses, yes corporations, employee 1/2 of all working non farm private sector americans. They are owned by people, most who fit into the upper middle class wage group. I own a corporation, we are in our 20th year of business.

Crush the small business, yes corporations, and you will put 120.6 million hard working people out of work.

And fortunately Texas doesn't execute Corporate Officers, they give them tax breaks..

When Gabby Giffords is almost blown away at a supermarket and nothing is done about gun control, I think we have our answer. The whole nation has ADD.
