I'm feeling like a Cassandra again,
just as I did in 2008 when Obamamania was at its height and everyone
was insisting that politics had been transformed for all time. I'm sure
I'll be just as unpopular now as I was then, but here goes:
While I love Matt Taibbi and I think this piece is
right on in many ways, I hope that people involved in Occupy Wall
Street don't start to bullshit themselves into believing that there is
not going to be a reaction to all this and that the reaction is likely
to be powerful --- and polarizing. The people in power know very well
how to push the buttons that need pushing.
