Pre-Occupied

This is how Occupy Wall Street began: as one of many half-formed plans circulating through conversations between Lasn and White, who lives in Berkeley and has not seen Lasn in person for more than four years. Neither can recall who first had the idea of trying to take over lower Manhattan. In early June, Adbusters sent an e-mail to subscribers stating that “America needs its own Tahrir.” The next day, White wrote to Lasn that he was “very excited about the Occupy Wall Street meme… . I think we should make this happen.” He proposed three possible Web sites: OccupyWallStreet.org, AcampadaWallStreet.org, and TakeWallStreet.org. “No. 1 is best,” Lasn replied, on June 9th. That evening, he registered OccupyWallStreet.org.

cheatsheet:

NASCAR fans booed Michelle Obama and Jill Biden at the Homestead-Miami Speedway to support Joining Forces, an initiative to hire veterans find work. Classy, NASCAR fans.

Not as bad as the booing that happens during some of the debates, but not exactly a high point for the human race by any means.

We all have priorities

Shep Remixes Obama’s Hope

Hope Has A Posse of the Day: Street artist Shepard Fairey remixes his iconic Obama “Hope” poster with the Anonymous-associated Guy Fawkes mask in support of the Occupy movement.

He writes on his blog:

Change is not about one election, one rally, one leader, it is about a constant dedication to progress and a constant push in the right direction. Let’s be the people doing the right thing as outsiders and simultaneously push the insiders to do the right thing for the people.
