‘She Swears She’s Not Romantically Involved With Her New Friend’

Not the kind of sentence a Florida banker wants to read in a story about his wife’s trip to New York: A married mother of four from Florida ditched her family to become part of the raggedy mob in Zuccotti Park — keeping the park clean by day and keeping herself warm at night with […]

Drum-Sticking It To The Man

by Smitty via AoSHQ Last night’s General Assembly meeting in Zuccotti Park was “one of most contentious ever,” in large part due to a heated debate over whether the drummers at Occupy Wall Street should be given $8,000 from the movement’s coffers to buy more drums and equipment. It seems some of the drums were […]
