From the latest Bill Maher Real Time show (thanks to Crooks & Liars for the video and the transcript):
A partial transcript:
Grayson: Let me tell what they're talking about. They're complaining about the fact the Wall Street wrecked the economy three years ago and nobody's held responsible for that. Not a single person has been indicted or convicted for destroying twenty percent of our national net worth accumulated over two centuries. They're upset about the fact that wall street have iron control over economic policies of this country and that one party is a wholly owned subsidiary of wall street and the other party caters to them as well, that's the truth of the matter as you said before. And…Sounds like an Amen to me (from Grayson; from O'Roarke, the sound of lapdogs disguised as independent thought. Bongos?).
O'Rourke: Get the man a bongo drum, they've found their spokesman!
And a very nice statement of the protest's core. We need more of this from people like Grayson. (For what it's worth, my "where next" thoughts are starting to coalesce. First pass is here for any who are interested.)
So far, this isn't going away. Good; let's keep it that way.
