Okay, it's not lost on me that they left the Tea Party out of the line-up. Whether that's because they were "soooo two years ago" or whatever, it's still a snub. A big part of what happened this year did have some roots in the Tea Party movement.

But yes, the protester really did make quite an impact this year.

DREAMTROVE

When I was at Occupy Time Square we noticed that the protesters would yell at the media that they were irrelevant and don't have the right to tell us what's important, etc. etc. that they would then cheer every time the Occupy Time Square story rolled across the ABC ticker.

TIME, is, of course, the 1%, sucking up, because 99% is a big number.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.
