A group of Virginia third graders composed a song about the spiritual emptiness of greed, which they sang for their fellow public school students at an assembly — good on them, right?

It’s Fancy Dress Day at Occupy Wall Street! As part of the “day of action,” some OWS protesters in New York City have raided Mom and Dad’s closet (from back when Mom and Dad used to have jobs to go to and didn’t just spend weekdays at the public library or down at OTB) for [...]

Here is video from inside Zuccotti Park early Tuesday morning as the NYPD moved in to trash the encampment and arrest dozens of peacefully resisting protesters.
