Pull up a chair and commence to learnin' y'all. I don't know why I wrote that. Okay, continuing on in this week's in-depth coverage of stuff what matters, here's your Monday tip sheet on a Wednesday. It's the eight things you should know about the Occupy Wall Street protest!
1. The protest has now lasted longer than The Paul Reiser Show. Look out, Whitney!
2. Protestors occupying Wall Street were not initially greeted as liberators, but they still have a better exit strategy than Bush did.
3. Turns out lots of the police really love Goldmann Sachs.
4. Fox is planning to turn the protest into a reality competition show for mid-season: So You Think You Can Protest.
5. Filmmaker Michael Moore cheered protestors on Monday by visiting, and then leaving just before he became tiresome.
6. Keith Olbermann has had some great coverage of the protest on his new show on Current TV. Have you seen it? No? Yeah, me neither.
7. The protest won't be considered a success unless Rage Against the Machine reunites for a North American tour next summer.
8. Pretty sure I saw Warren Buffett leading the thing.
That's it for now. Learn more about the protest here https://occupywallst.org/ and for a surprisingly thorough background in financial and economic inequalities in America, watch the closing credits to The Other Guys.
See you tomorrow!
