I can’t be the only person who thought of this, but: The Occupy Wall Street protest in NYC happens to be taking place on the very same ground where many pivotal events in the American Revolutionary War took place.

I’ve been covering Occupy Wall Street for weeks now, and many people have been asking my opinion of it, so here it is: it’s great! And stupid! All at once.

Oh my GOD. I am so sorry. I really don’t know what got into me this week. For some reason, I just felt like making up a song about our dumb political system and making a video for it. I didn’t mean for it to be so weird. Or awesome. But it just turned out ...
