		<description><![CDATA[Given what’s been going on in the United States since the bank bailout, it’s amazing that Occupy Wall Street didn’t precede the Arab Spring. The powers-that-be, from the rich to their coin-operated politicians, have mocked and belittled and ignored the protesters, the 99 percenters as they call themselves – everyone but the richest one percent. No matter what the critics say, these young people, with righteous outrage and new age communication, have launched the American Autumn. Unions like mine, the United Steelworkers, understand their issues and are here to support them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Better late than never, the movement to take America back from Wall Street has arrived. On Wednesday, the ranks of the Occupy Wall Street encampment will swell as Move­On.org members, union activists and ordinary disgruntled citizens join the demonstration against our financial sector’s misrule of the American economy. What’s more, long-planned anti-bank demonstrations in major [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Elizabeth Warren’s surprise lead in Massachusetts polls only days after she got into the Senate race to oust Republican Scott Brown has thrown GOP operatives off balance. Their first storyline was that Warren was either a creature of the Beltway or a pointy-headed Harvard professor. Neither seems to be sticking. On Tuesday, when the Democratic-affiliated [...]]]></description>
