Best line from a protester in the video: "I want to use the bathroom, where is it around here?" Finding a bathroom, as you can imagine, has become some what of problem for protesters during Occupy Wall Street. I don't know who the guy in the suit who works for the government was towards the end of the video. Oh yeah, a police horse pees in the video too - don't worry, you don't really see it. But I guess the horse couldn't find a proper bathroom to use either.

Kanye West & Russell Simmons at Occupy Wall Street

It's no big surprise when folks like Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins show up at Occupy Wall Street, but when Kanye West and Russel Simmons make an appearance, you kind of start to think this thing might turn into one big party. Don't think they stayed too long though. I'd give Kanye a lot of credit if he slept over night in the park with the protesters, but don't think that will happen. It becomes a fine line in a way, are celebrities or politicians supporting the protesters or using the growing media coverage for their own personal gains.

Comments Off
I love Erin Burnett, especially when she was on CNBC, but she made a big mistake in mocking the Occupy Wall Street protesters on her new CNN show OutFront. Sure, she might be right, the protesters aren't as informed as they should be, but they're also right in protesting: Wall Street used too much leverage, Wall Street made too many risky trades without the capital to back them up, and Wall Street pays out too many and too big of bonuses during a financial crisis that they caused in a lot of ways. Burnett should come out and say

Tim Robbins at Occupy Wall Street

Comments Off
Tim Robbins, like his ex-wife Susan Sarandon, showed up in support of the protesters at Occupy Wall Street. Robbins makes a good point about the protesters, that this protest is a more grassroots movement, unlike the Tea Party. Occupy Wall Street is leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the

What does Miss Bee do, she helps out a protester buy offering to buy a muffin so he can use the bathroom and not upset the store owner. Take a look.

Nonsense: There’s a Pink Unicorn at the Occupy Wall Street Protest

Yes, it's true, unicorns are real and one is leading the charge at the Occupy Wall Street protest. Look out bankers and traders, the pink unicorn is gunning for ya. Getty Images Once Wall Street traders learn that a pink unicorn is the leader of the Occupy Wall Street movement, they will all agree to forgo bonuses or golden parachutes until the unemployment level is at 5% and make less risky trades with huge amounts of leverage. Everyone is saying that the protesters don't have a clear message, that they're a fractured group without a focus. Well, you can

Comments Off
"What do we want? We're not really sure. When do we want it? NOW!" As Jimmy says, "At least they're passionate." However, as the Wall Street protest grows and moves along, a clearer message is starting to take shape, and leaders are starting to emerge. And no, we're not taking about the pink unicorn or Satan, we're taking about guys like Jesse LaGreca, who gave Fox News a piece of his

The full story article is at the NY Times, and it's a good read. It will be interesting to see how long this protests lasts. If it can gain momentum or if, like one protester said in the article, it will end when the temperature drops below 50 degrees.
