Occupy!

I told you that if the Republicans rigged the 2010 election, our side was going to come down very hard - when the Evil Empire least expected it. Now it's happening! It's called Occupy Wall Street.

The Occupy Wall Street demonstrations have spread outside New York and into countless other cities - big and small, American as well as foreign. Towns as small as Stillwater, Oklahoma, are seeing their own homegrown brand of this movement.

The New York event has been met with police brutality, but organizers plan to keep protesting there for as long as it takes until right-wing tyranny is cleaned up. Events in other cities also need to stay open. I'm all for a Cincinnati protest, but we need to find a place somewhere in the area where we can keep the protest going for months or years on end if we have to.

These rallies should have begun the day after the election - in 1980! But we're pleased as poo to take what we can get. I've been dreaming of a protest like this for years, and it's ABOUT DAMN TIME!

According to the Occupy Cincinnati Gathering page on Facebook, a Cincinnati event is planned for Saturday, October 8 from 11 AM to 11:30 PM at Sawyer Point. I'll be out of town that day, but that's alright, because I trust this rally is just the beginning of a very, very turbulent era.

The revolution might not be televised, but it is blog-o-vised.
