Douchebags of the Week
No, make that the Month. Maybe even the Year. Or possibly the decade, since the photos you’re about to feast your eyes on are from last year. Here’s a taste: this is a couple of law firm employees at their firm’s Hallowe’en party last year. They’re “dressed up” as homeowners who’ve been foreclosed on, something […]

“Don’t shit or piss in the park.” It’s not the first thing you’d expect to hear from a city Councillor in an informal chat about Occupy Regina. It’s not even on the top ten. But it was what I remember hearing first from Councillor Clipsham. Perhaps that’s because he repeated it several times. I asked […]

I don’t want wealthy, well-connected individuals, corporations and lobbies buying politicians; A large and secure middle class is vital to a democracy; vast wealth inequality creates vast political inequality and exploitation; By reducing the role of corrupting private influences in politics (e.g., big banks, insurance, pharmaceuticals, defense, private prisons), America could possibly lower its taxes while also improving […]

Sadly, there’s an issue that is tearing Occupy Wall Street asunder and may end its presence in Zuccotti Park tomorrow, and it’s this: Drums. According to a feverish call for help that went out today at N+1mag.com, rogue drummers are causing trouble at OWS: A trusted friend and respected activist sent the following notes, explaining […]

What is Blog-Bombing? The term is inspired by the concept of Tweet-Bombing, in which many Tweeters engage en masse in tweeting a particular message in order to fill the Tweetosphere with the message. In the case of Blog-Bombing, the idea is for bloggers to make regular (e.g., daily, every few days) quick blog posts in […]

I don’t think you can view the documentary film “Inside Job,” and not be clear on what the Occupy movement is all about. It’s about the criminals who have savaged our economic system for greed and their own personal gain. It’s about the lives they have…

I was down at Occupy Regina this afternoon, and went on the march too around downtown, after listening to the interesting speeches.
