The Libyan Leader Muammar el-Gaddafi was killed today in his hometown of Sirte.

Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril announced the death, and later said the colonel had been killed in a crossfire between Gaddafi loyalists and fighters from the transitional authorities.

He confirmed that Col Gaddafi had been taken alive, but died of bullet wounds minutes before reaching hospital.

Gwen Ifill tweeted this: “Why is @GovernorPerry calling @THEHermanCain brother? Are they related? #scandal”

And speaking on MSNBC today, political analyst and strategist Karen Finney remarked that she was slightly bothered by Perry’s use of the term “brother” to refer to Cain. She later e-mailed me the phrase simply “hit my ear the wrong way.”

First, here’s the exchange regarding Cain’s now ubiquitous 9-9-9 tax plan:

“Herman, I love you, brother, but let me tell you something, you don’t need to have a big analysis to figure this thing out,” Perry said. “At the end of the week, I’m going to be laying out a plan that clearly -- I’ll bump plans with you, brother, and we’ll see who has the best idea about how you get this country working again.”

The Dervil is in the details of The Herman Cain's 999 Plan America's Poor would pay more under the paln.

 

Two-thirds of New York City voters agree with the views of Occupy Wall Street demonstrators who have taken over a Lower Manhattan park to protest corporate greed, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Monday.

By 67% to 23%, respondents said they agreed with the group's views, and by an 87%-to-10% margin, they said that the protests, which have drawn thousands to take part in the demonstrations and led to hundreds of arrests, are acceptable, according to the poll.

The Iowa Caucuses have been scheduled for Jan 3, the state’s Republican Party announced yesterday, a move that fills out the early nominating contest calendar, and leaves New Hampshire as the only state that has yet to decide on a date.

Why Are These People Protesting?(edited version,for full version go to jerrypippin.com) by Jerry Pippin 

I was listening to some pundits who are business reporters mainly but seem to lean toward the conservative because as one of them said, "I am doing better than ever, I am not sure what these people want?" I can answer that with words--"Fairness" and "opportunity." We have come to  a place in America where the top 1 percent have 40 per cent of the wealth .  Just 25 years ago 33 per cent of the wealth was owned by the top 1 per cent.

As the clock ticked down on the occupiers of Zuccotti Park and the prospect of eviction loomed, the Occupy Wall Street protesters’ pre-emptive cleanup effort lurched into gear Thursday afternoon.

EMERGENCY ACTION - DEFEND OCCUPY WALL STREET!

    

Mayor Bloomberg announced that tomorrow morning, he's evacuating Zucotti Park for "cleaning" - Be warned, this is a tactic that Bloomberg has used to shut down protests in the past, and a tactic used recently in similar protests throughout Europe.

WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN. THE OCCUPY WALL STREET MOVEMENT IS GROWING. STAND WITH US AT 6 AM TOMORROW TO DEFEND THE PARK.

Community organizations, Labor, and NYC residents are banding together to flock to Zucotti Park, to show solidarity with #OccupyWallStreet.

YES. WE KNOW IT'S EARLY. COME AS EARLY AS YOU CAN. OUR TIME IS NOW, AND KEEPING THE MOVEMENT ALIVE IS PARAMOUNT.

REMEMBER TO BRING A VALID PHOTO ID WITH YOU AND TO HAVE IT ON YOU AT ALL TIMES!
