Eat Student Loan Debt?
Occupy OKC and the overall "occupy movement" has the attention of the local corporate power structure here judging from the sustained, mocking criticism by its public relations branch, The Oklahoman editorial page.
Last Wednesday, the newspaper's editorial page called the movement's protesters "idiots." On Monday, it referred to t-shirt slogans superficially connected to the movement as "garden-variety anarchy." At least three editorial cartoons making fun of the demonstrators have been published (at least on NewsOK.com, the newspaper's internet site) in the last week or so. Is it simple conservative media overkill or real paranoia creeping in?
Hidden Agendas In Wisconsin Jobs Bills Replay "Budget Repair" Feint

Beware Walkerites bearing jobs.
And always look past the gift-wrapping.
Remember that Scott Walker began his first year as Governor by offering the infamous "Budget-Repair Bill,"
his so-called "modest proposal" which was meant to wipe out 50 years of public employee collective bargaining.
Justifying the deception, Walker
falsely claimed he had campaigned on that anti-union plan, only
admitting the truth when challenged, under oath, before a Congressional committee.
But the pattern was established.
Make stuff up, spin it and stick with it.
It was an exercise in Power Politics 101, backed by majorities in both legislative houses and a compliant, 4-3 pro-business and conservative majority on the state Supreme Court.
