Got this article in my paper this morning.

Wow.

“Sparked by the injury on Tuesday night of 24-year-old Iraq War veteran and ex-Marine Scott Olsen, the Occupy Oakland movement almost overnight became an international symbol of resistance around which millions of people are rallying. The latest sign of Oakland’s galvanizing effect came with the arrival of Michael Moore — and his 912,898 and counting Twitter followers — on Friday afternoon to the amphitheater of Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, where it all began.”

Make a note that you can count Twitter followers when tallying a political movement.

Meanwhile in Afghanistan, thirteen young Americans just died in a country that damn well knows the real difference between freedom and oppression.
