Day! Of! Action!
At 5:30 there are far far more cops and media types about than Occupiers. Broadway is solid media trucks and police vehicles.
What a PITA.
Exciting! Action! Update!
Just look at the protest!
Power to the People!
I wonder if the cops who parked on the sidewalks gave them selves tickets?
Keep us updated!
Drudge says they’ve already named a subway stop Avenue Jew. It’s gonna be a long day, Mr. B.

People coming in to the office are saying it’s a pain in the buttski. Cops checking id that you actually work on Wall Street before they’ll let you on, so the Occupyistas are marching/chanting/shambling down the side streets questing the Snark.
I told the people in my NY office to work from home today. No need to tempt fate. I have a bad feeling about today.
I’m going to go out in about an hour.
My real name is Reginald T (as in Tempting Fate) Bingley, Syd.
Well then, don’t forget to wear a cup.
I’d carry some mace or pepper spray Bing, if that’s legal there.
There are police buses and vans unloading cops in riot gear on Water Street.
The cops/MSM still way outnumber the Occupiers, from what I can see.
I was thinking of packing extra deodorant, md, to hand out.
And bars of soap, Mr. Bingley. If naught else, they can be used as a substitute for a brick, if only once.
Syd, I saw that live stream. It’s a good thing that video feeds can’t transmit olfactory data……
Jeffs, from the reports I’ve read and heard, depending on wind direction, that data could arrive in a neighborhood near you, soon. I also found it helpful to turn off the audio while watching the live stream. That young man’s diatribe was giving me hives.
By the way, I saw somewhere that the guy who was on tv, threatening to burn down NYC, was arrested. I hope this is true.
Bar of soap and a spare sock, bingley. Keep ’em in separate pockets until needed.
It’s more like Day! Of! Lameness!
Very small crowd, very quiet crowd, walking around in a dispirited manner.
The cops are in a good mood, which tells you all you need to know.
I took a few lame pictures I’ll try to post.
Cue the Franz Ferdinand.
This fire is out of control
I’m gonna burn this city
Burn this city!
Great idea, mojo! Add a little water, and tell the cops that the #OccupyCretin needed a bath.
Syd, that youngling just wouldn’t STFU; he badly needed an application of mojo’s soap in a sock.
So did Bingley make it out okay or do we need to send Snake Plissken in?
There was nothing to make it out of, Dave.
But I can only imagine how many donuts were sold in lower Manhattan today…
Some days, I wish Philly could be more like New York.
