SNL Mocks NYC Mayor Bloomberg's Handling of the Occupy Wall Street Protests



Even if this clip isn't mind-bendingly hilarious to you, it acknowledges what's important.  You know that whatever the theme of the opening scene on SNL is, it's the biggest story in the country.  

In a related note...check out NYC's latest first amendment rights debacle where a group of 25 citizens were arrested for attempting to close their Citibank accounts.  The bank claims they were "being disruptive," but in actuality they were literally LOCKED inside by Citibank "until they could be removed."  You can watch the video yourself.  With the Bank Transfer Day coming up and an internationally growing anti-corporate movement, the 8th largest bank in the world must be getting nervous.  I also read a story about a Citibank employee in Indonesia who beat a man to death for not being able to pay his debt.

Here's a picture I took at the peaceful, police-free, city-supported protest yesterday in downtown LA.
