>> Police in riot gear arrested more than 200 Occupy protesters outside City Hall in Los Angeles today, and authorities in Philadelphia arrested nearly 50 from the street. How are kids going to learn to clean up after themselves if authorities keep arresting them? (USA Today)
>> The U.S. Federal Reserve along with the European, Canadian, British, Japanese and Swiss central banks agreed to temporarily reduce the cost of dollar loans starting Dec. 5 to ease the euro zone debt crisis. Stocks rose more than 3 percent today, so everything must be okay again! (Reuters)
>> Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., announced he would not run for reelection. Now Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., is expected to announce he too will not run again. That leaves the biggest piece of financial regulation in history, Dodd-Frank, looking like it will never make it to fruition. A lofty political act never materializing? That never happens--not. (NY Mag)
>> And finally: When asking the new iPhone 4 voice-activated assistant Siri where an abortion clinic is in New York City, Siri answers, "I didn't find any abortion clinics." When asking the same question in Washington, D.C., Siri will direct you to an anti-abortion crisis center. Siri don't preach. (the Raw Story)
