In Which the EE Scratches His Head
CNN reports: Thousands of protesters to 'Occupy Wall Street' on Saturday.
Egyptians did it for democracy. So did people in Tunisia, Yemen, Bahrain and Syria. Now, activist groups are hoping Americans will launch their own uprising -- in the form of thousands of protesters descending on Wall Street this weekend.
Occupy Wall Street is a "leaderless resistance movement" spearheaded by activist magazine Adbusters. Organizers want people to swarm into lower Manhattan on September 17 and set up camp for two months, then "incessantly repeat one simple demand."
What's that demand? They haven't decided yet. (emphasis: Ed.)
By the way, Wall St. is closed on Saturday.

Everywhere You Look, It's Sweet Baby-Jeebus!
The AP reports: Manifestation of Christ on Everyday Objects a Recurring Event.
When Jacob Simmons and his finance Gentry Lee Sutherland found a Wal-Mart receipt on the floor of their home, they were stunned to find that the receipt had the resemblance of Jesus Christ on it. KARE 11 News reported that when the couple asked Wal-Mart how this could image could have appeared, they were told heat was the only thing that could have cause the image.
Jesus' image has also appeared on food. Zimbio shows several images of Jesus on a potato chip, a cheese sandwich and a fish stick. According to the site, some of the people who found these images were comforted and inspired by the clear likeness of Jesus' image on the food. Realizing the opportunity to make money, Diane Duyser in 1994 auctioned the cheese sandwich on EBay for $28,000, reports Zimbio.
As we have clearly noted that in a depression, there is both a lack of cash and a rise in religious fervor.
If you see Jeebus on a tortilla then some of that sweet cash might flow your way.
This is entirely predictable and was both predicted and demonstrated a long time ago.
Now, with the rise of religious fervor, there will be a rise of people who will seek to cash in on that ("I'll pray to sweet baby-Jeebus so that some magic money will come your way.")
Why is this even surprising?
