Sleeping in Zuccotti once was evidence of a deep commitment to Occupy’s politics, but now, some people seem to be there mainly for the donated clothes and free food. (NYT, 11/6/2011)
As RedStateVT told you from the start, the Occupiers want free stuff. Want more proof? Consider:
An "Occupy Wall Street" protester threw a violent fit in a McDonald’s after employees refused to give him free food. (Foxnews.com, 11/5/2011)
Plunged and Poised
As the United States prepares to withdraw its troops from Iraq by year’s end, senior American and Iraqi officials are expressing growing concern that Al Qaeda’s offshoot here, which just a few years ago waged a debilitating insurgency that plunged the country into a civil war, is poised for a deadly resurgence.

Obama's enduring legacy?
Leveled
Mr. McConnell and his fellow Republicans have blocked a short-term jobs bill proposed by President Obama that has broad support from independent economists, and for the most part they have failed to level with voters about cuts to Medicare, Social Security and the military that a no-new-taxes pledge would require. Democrats, including Mr. Obama, have vowed not to raise taxes on households making less than $250,000, which seems impossible without larger benefit cuts than Democrats have acknowledged.

Interesting analysis from the Times, reasonably attempting to be objective. We'd quibble, however, with the comment that Republicans haven't been honest about cuts to entitlement programs. They have certainly tried to...and then been eviscerated by Dems... and the Times!
