Yesterday I'd posted a link to a story about OWS.
It was, "In Tenn. and NY, locals thwart protesters' removal"
now, the WSJ has changed it to say, "Occupy protesters arrested in Texas, Oregon"
Here is the link from yesterday. WSJ: In Tenn. and NY, locals thwart protesters' removal
how low can they go???
that story is still up at a couple other sites though, here's one.
In Tenn. and NY, locals thwart protesters' removal

IntelHub: Occupy the Vatican Serves Eviction Notice Against Child Raping Church, As Canadian Media Distorts the Event
Two dozen men and women from Occupy Vancouver and the Occupy the Vatican movement, most of them aboriginal, faced assaults and a human blockade from members of the Catholic Knights of Columbus yesterday outside Holy Rosary Cathedral, while trying to peacefully occupy it and enforce a legal eviction order against the Roman Catholic church for its murder of thousands of residential school children.DailyMailUK: Saudi ROYAL offers $1million reward to anyone who captures Israeli soldiers to exchange for Palestinian prisoners
“I kept yelling to the police to help us but they just stood there at the church entrance and did nothing, even when the Knights of Columbus were shoving one man and making him fall right off the church steps” described a female member of Occupy Vancouver.
“It’s like the cops were being private security for the church, and the Knights of Columbus were acting like police”.

WSJ: Slow-Paced Recovery Feels Like a Recession - Americans are two years into a recovery that doesn't feel much different to many of them from life during the most bruising recession in seven decades. Scenes of the long haul back from the slump show a nation struggling to rebuild after a battering that crossed ages, regions and occupations. A sobering set of economic statistics is at the heart of tales of Americans moving in with relatives, switching careers and dialing back on spending to cope with straitened circumstances amid the fitful rebound. One benchmark, income of the median household—meaning the one in the very middle of the middle—declined 3.2% to $53518 during the past year.

Economix: A Close Look at the Perry Tax Plan - In an effort to rejuvenate his flagging campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas announced his support for a flat-rate income tax in a Wall Street Journal op-ed article on Oct. 25. Mr. Perry said he would establish a single rate of 20 percent on corporate and individual incomes, with individuals receiving a personal exemption of $12,500. The estate and gift tax would be abolished, and there would be no taxation of dividends and capital gains. All deductions, credits and exclusions would be eliminated except for mortgage interest, state and local taxes and charitable contributions. Although Mr. Perry praised the simplicity of his plan, it would actually complicate the tax computation for many people, because they would have to calculate their taxes two or even three different ways when the alternative minimum tax was also included. That was because Mr. Perry’s flat tax would be an optional tax system; those who wanted to stay in the current system could do so.This is really just a gimmick to allow Mr. Perry to say with a straight face that everyone would get a tax cut.
