12. Yep, that old expression, "the revolution will not be televised"...

If it's not reported by the corporate gatekeepers, it didn't happen. 20 years ago 100 people getting arrested in a DC protest would make the news, no question. I wish thousands would pour out of homes in DC and get down there to be arrested as well until so many are arrested that the issue they are protesting has to be reported. Hope Bernie will talk about this in subsequent rallies and interviews. Funny that right now economic "stability" is hanging on by a mere thread. International economists have been predicting for months that we've got another big and sudden economic dump to look forward to in the coming year, after the elections, of course. (Meanwhile, Huffington Posts reports, yet again, on a female celebrity photographed in a bikini.)
