It's been more than a week now since first the police, followed quickly by sanitation workers, moved in on city parks across the United States, driving protestors assembled as part of the Occupy movement out from their makeshift tent cities and back to whatever homes they came from.
And while some of those who claimed to represent the "99 Percent" – a decidedly dubious number meant to include everyone who is not among the wealthiest one percent of the American population – have trickled back into these parks to resume their protesting, their numbers are down, their press coverage is down, and their message remains vague.

re: without control, there's only chaos
Great because I agree with the perspective and like how you wrote about it.
re: the last beat of the pig-hearted man
The pigger the better. Well-written, just right.
re: the last beat of the pig-hearted man
Funniest serious article I've ever read. Thanks Russ.
re: the last beat of the pig-hearted man
Pretty moving... and funny.
re: the last beat of the pig-hearted man
A great example of dark-ish humor!
re: this one goes up to '11
One of the funniest I've read. Really great.
re: hawaii five, viewer zero
I don't know if the show is any good, but the review sure is. Reading Russ is better than watching TV anyway: smarter, sharper, and just plain awesomer. Mahalo!
re: hawaii five, viewer zero
Yup. Excellent critique.
re: state of what union?

re: state of what union?
Excellent column. Passes over the easy targets and hones in on the problem.
