Smelly Anarchists Begone!
NYC has finally had enough of the Occupy Wall Street crowd in Zuccotti park. A judge has denied a lawsuit for a restraining order against NYPD, on the grounds that
To the extent that City law prohibits the erection of structures, the use of gas or other
combustible materials, and the accumulation of garbage and human waste in public places,
enforcement of the law and the owner's rules appears reasonable to permit the owner to maintain its
space in a hygienic, safe, and lawful condition, and to prevent it from being liable by the City or others
for violations of law, or in tort. It also permits public access by those who live and work in the area
who are the intended beneficiaries of this zoning bonus.
The movants have not demonst rated that they have a First Amendment right to remain in
Zuccotti Park, along with their tents, structures, generators, and other installations to the exclusion
of the owner's reasonable rights and duties to maintain Zuccotti Park, or to the rights to public access
of others who might wish to use the space safely. Neither have the applicants shown a right to a
temporary restraining order that would restrict the City's enforcement of law so as to promote public
health and safety.
Presumably, now the NYPD will begin moving the squatters out of Zuccotti park, so that the damage can be repaired.

The End of Saab (Again)?
This might be the be the end for Saab. GM is stating that it does not support the sale of Saab to two Chinese auto companies. Without financing, Saab is likely to be liquidated by the Swedish courts, a process that was suspended when Saab made a deal to sell itself.
I have friends who own Saabs, and I wonder what will happen to them as far as vehicle service and replacement parts go. Perhaps someone will step up and buy the parts inventory, if there is money to be made in service. Some Saab models are really re-badged GM or Subaru vehicles, so those likely can be serviced at those dealerships.

What are you looking at? Uh!?
What are you looking at?! (slap)
Are you undressing me with your eyes?
Poor guy…you can't help it?
Is your heart beating? Is your head spinning?
Do you feel lost thinking that I could be yours forever?
