ooOOoo, the chemists are getting restless

Last Friday, Derek Lowe posted the latest rumors on Amgen.  The pointy haired bosses are saying euphemistically loaded code words for liberating the wage slaves: Amgen is out today speaking the sort of language that we’ve all come to fear. It appears that the local Ventura County Star picked up some rumblings from inside the Thousand Oaks headquarters, and [...]

Nitecap: A little ditty to Glenn Beck from the 99%

I’m winding down and having a bavarian style beer type thingy.  Not sure that I like this one.  Not sure I like the pumpkin ales either.  Oatmeal Stout, that I love.  Oh, well, we drink what’s on tap. If you’re getting ready for another week of whatever, whether you work or are looking for a [...]

OccupyWallStreet: To the naysayers

You know who you are.  You’re the ones who are trying to convince us that there’s something fishy about OWS.  That it sounds too much like OFA.  And as I have said already, if it turns out that OWS is a sneaky move by Obama to create the pressure he needs to do what he [...]

What’s wrong with this picture?

The NYTimes had an article yesterday about Indian college students attending American schools.  But something about this just doesn’t sound right: NEW DELHI — Moulshri Mohan was an excellent student at one of the top private high schools in New Delhi.

A suggestion about demands for OccupyWallStreet

Update: Is anyone soaping “99%” on their windows tomorrow? The Big Dawg has weighed in regarding OccupyWallStreet and says that the movement has to start making its intentions known.  He suggested that OccupyWallStreet get behind Obama’s jobs program but we’ve already seen what a failure that bill was.  It was too little, too late and [...]

OccupyWallStreet: Bloomberg postpones the “cleaning”

Please note that I am not at the park at the present time.  I’m just following the livestream.  See URLs below. Update 8:06am: Live coverage back at Zuccotti and financial district.  The white shirts are back.  This is looking very tense.  The cops now have their guns out.  Crowd dispersing.  Some rumor that the police [...]

URGENT: OccupyWallStreet to be evicted from Zuccotti Park on Friday. Action needed

TC Fundraiser for Lambert and Correntewire

As much as I hate to admit it, some of the best work in the blogosphere has come from Corrente in the last three years.  I discovered Lambert towards the end of my stay at DailyKos when he wrote a brilliant essay about something.  I can’t even remember what that something was but I wrote [...]
