I don't know if everyone caught this or not, but Taibbi just said

"There ARE some Tea Partiers there. [And] [t]here are Ron Paul supporters there in some numbers, and they're being ignored, too."

Any readers thinking about going?

Yup. Our director will be there filming tomorrow. And I'll be there in 3 weeks (dragging my g/f with me should the protest have such staying power).

Taibbi's view of the protesters is correct, I believe: they may not have the strongest grasp of money markets, econ, etc., but they know something is very very wrong.

Moreover, I'm starting to see more signs in Chicago that have it right as well: "Restore our laws" and "Honk & indict" were the two best I saw today. Personally, I'd settle for laws being enforced, but not gonna split hairs.

This is somewhat strange, coming from China...cuz we all know they are super cool about protests.

US media blackout of protest is shameful

Every time someone mentions China, I think "walstreetpro2 smashing Chinese appliances with a baseball bat."

Great news, Cheyenne. And yes, I'd split the hairs the same way you would.
