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.

By the way, Wall St. is closed on Saturday.
