The Best Sign at the Occupy Wall Street Protest

We ran through a series of some Occupy Wall Street pictures the other day, a few good signs showed up, but this sign tops them all. And as the Business Insider says, it can be used for just about any protest. However, I'd say this sign is perfect for the Occupy Wall Street and their frustration with Wall Street. What do you think? Have you seen a better

Susan Sarandon Makes an Appearance at Occupy Wall Street

"I came down here to educate myself," actress Susan Sarandon told CNBC.com. "It's been really informative and I'll be back (following a trip to Italy). There's a huge void between the rich and the poor in this country." (Ouch, inserting that 'following a trip to Italy' line is kind of low blow, isn't it?) This video is a bit jittery, so beware, but that's Jeff Cox of CNBC interviewing Sarandon at the protest. Wasn't she in that most recent Wall Street Money Never Sleeps movie?

Michael Moore’s Call & Response Routine at Occupy Wall Street

For some reason they're repeating everything Michael Moore says...and he even seem annoyed with the routine. Where's my mic? Come on people let's get this protest going! No more time for child's play. I'm not here to mess around. I'm a pro. You've got to respect the protesters though, doing with out and using their own hand signals and more or less, language. Update: Apparently, they aren't allowed any electronic amplification, hence the multi-voice repeat. Tonight, with a big crowd, speakers have to speak in 2-word snippets for the repeat to go out clearly. This

Nonsense: Occupy Wall Street Protesters Take a Break to Buy Stocks

A few protesters take a quick break to check their 401Ks and make a few trades within their TD Ameritrade accounts. Turns out they're all buying Goldman Sachs. Yes, they're buying the vampire squid's stock. The stocks is trading under $100 share and was just too much of a steal to pass up, they said. Plus, Satan controls Wall Street anyway, so there's not much they can do about it. Don't tell anyone though, OK? We've got to keep this under raps for a while, as you can see, we're trying to run a protest and Occupy Wall Street, not

Occupy Wall Street: Guitar, Eat a Banker Sign, Kissing, USA Bikini Top

Who says protest have to be all mad and angry? Who says you can't kissy kiss and make a little love while protesting those fat cat bankers or banksters if you prefer? Well, Occupy Wall Street seems like quite a good time the more it moves along. Entering its six or seven day, momentum is building. And some stars might be born when it's all said and done, like the women in the bikini top printed with the American flag or the guitar player or maybe the couple about to make out. To start off, and appropriately enough, in lieu of

Michael Moore Supports Occupy Wall Street Protest

Michael Moore, filmmaker, activist and author of "Here Comes Trouble," calls on people all over the country to bring the Occupy Wall Street movement to their communities. Occupy Wall Street moved into its six day of protesting. So far, it's been a relatively quiet affair this occupying of Wall Street, but if the protesters continue on for weeks, and the stock market continues to plunge, I'm sure there will be much more attention given to their efforts. "People are down on Wall Street right now, holding a sit-in and a camp-in down there--virtually no news about this protest."

Anonymous: Operation Occupy Wall Street 9/17/11

With some lines from the movie The Matrix, the hacker group Anonymous announces their plans to 'occupy Wall Street' on 9/17/11.

Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

What does this mean exactly? What will they
