Steady

Press at the press conference.

Occupy Update: 1. 19 people were arrested for staying on the state house grounds after our brilliant governor said that protesting after 6PM was against the law. 2. A few weeks later the charges were dropped by the solicitor for, uh, being bullshit. 3. There is also a civil lawsuit pending against Nikki Haley for her poorly thought out decision to illegally evict the peaceful protestors. 4. A state judge has issued a temporary restraining order against the governor disallowing her from evicting the protesters, and also allowed them tents. 5. The governor asked that the case be removed to federal court.

Lawyers and protesters after the charges were dismissed.

Peanut!

Not sure the water should look like this.

 Word was announced that Walmart has plans to build three new Walmart or Walmart Express stores within the city limits. It's a horrible idea. The largest site is located in my neighborhood. They want to basically build over an already troubled creek, the Rocky Branch Creek. The one that contributes to the 5 Points flooding every time there is a rainstorm. Because it is already over-worked. So they want to just fuck it up a little bit more. Some of us are going to head over to the creek today to clean it up. There is a ton of trash in it. The hope is that a greenway could be put there, instead of a Walmart. Sounds like a good idea to me!

Brains!!!
