Via From Pine View Farm by way of Truthout.
Also cribbed From Pine View Farm, this pointer to a great post from Glomirazation, Esq. on great moral deadzone that is the “regulatory uncertainly” claim being trumpeted by businesses that are pretty damned profitable already:
I’ll tell you what uncertainty is. It’s not knowing whether you can pay the rent or put food on the table next month. And states are cutting TANF left and right. TANF — thank you, President Clinton — is difficult to get in the first place, offers no childcare to moms while requiring them to go to work, and discriminates against non-married, non-nuclear families.
Go read the whole thing — it’s short.

not a hoax
I took some pictures at Rodney Square in Wilmington yesterday. I’ve never been there before & it was a lovely day. And there was this protest thing…

All these BANKSTERs’ empty corporate offices watched as the ardent protesters marched around the square. As I was leaving, I snapped the lone lady police person guarding the gates at B of A (unmolested- this photo is in that set).
I’ve said this on your blog before; IF you bank at a corporate bank, time to move your money to a CREDIT UNION. Apparently, there is a movement to do this enmasse on Nov. 5th (Remember, remember the 5th of November – Guy Fawkes Day in the UK & hero of the V for Vendetta people) – alas, I like most movements against the plutocracy but that is a Saturday and not the best banking day of the week. Do it as soon as you can, I think.
