A passenger on a US Airways flight said he was forced to stand for seven hours after he was squeezed out of his seat by an obese man sitting next to him. "I didn't fly from Alaska to Philadelphia on Flight 901," Arthur Berkowitz told Christopher Elliott, a  …

LOS ANGELES (AP) - More than two hours after a deadline to vacate their encampment, Wall Street protesters in Los Angeles are showing no signs of retreating. And despite the midnight deadline for the hundreds of protesters to leave the camp at a park by City Hall, police have yet to take action.

The CPI focuses on corruption in the public sector, or corruption which involves public officials, civil servants or politicians. The data sources used to compile the index include questions relating to the abuse of public power and focus on: bribery of public officials, kickbacks in public procurement, embezzlement of public funds, and on questions that probe the strength and effectiveness of anti-corruption efforts in the public sector. As such, it covers both the administrative and political aspects of corruption. In producing the index, the scores of countries/territories for the specific corruption-related questions in the data sources are combined to calculate a single score for each country.

Here is the wikipedia article about the "Occupy Movement" to help make this cartoon more clear. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_movement

The pepper spraying cop has become an internet meme already: http://goo.gl/in1PY

I think this is the perfect example of legitimacy issues... http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/internet-memes-sprout-around-occupy-movement-from-pepper-spraying-cop-to-occupy-sesame-street/2011/11/23/gIQA0BLApN_story.html

this is one of the reasons we are in the hole big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is ridiculous

wow!

What is the illustrator trying to convey? What do the images represent?

I think it means how the occupy wall street movement is bringing attention to the middle classes economic struggles, and the media doesn't want that to happen.

I believe the cartoon is portraying that there is a connection between the Middle class and the wall street movement, and wall street is trying to revive the middle class. The media however, is not thrilled about the attention being brought to the middle class problems. So the media poisons the the other one percent into believing the lies and misleading comments to try getting their way.

Im really not sure if I should believe that the US did this or not. Yes, we do not like Iran for their nuclear programs so I see we would do this, but I also believe that we would not sink so low that we wold kill him in essentially cold blood.

With Minecraft just passing 20 million users, this will bring large attention to SOPA. Gamers who would otherwise not care about the bill will now notice that their favorite sandbox game is offline and it will spark interest in the gaming community as a whole.

It doesn't really matter, it's a matter of time before they create another one.

My sister and I play this game all the time! It's gonna be weird shutting it down for a day.

Summary of the address to the nation last night. Can you find items that show a Liberal ideology? Link to the full speech text can be found @ http://goo.gl/bTTr0 (with a cool Wordle) What did you guys think?

The "Buffett Rule" is one of the most interesting subjects from the speech. Raise taxes on rich, but keep taxes the same from middle and lower class. Yes, this would absolutely help America get out of debt, but I do not believe that this would help the middle/lower classes. As the writer said, they need to lower the middle/lower classes taxes to make a major change to out economic situation

So far most of what he is saying makes sense and is reasonable. I just don't think he will follow through with it, seldom do political figures accomplish what they say, how they say they will go about getting things done. He thinks the wealthier people (making $1,000,000) should pay at least 30% of taxes while the 98% of Americans that make only $250,000 a year should pay the taxes we do now, not an increased tax which simply cannot be paid by some.(The Buffett Rule)
