US Injects Billions Into Foreign Central Bank
Who got the TARP money?

99% Houston Demonstration
Occupy Wall Street protesters were out in a force of about 100, maybe 120 people on Allen Parkway for the Friday commute. There were five mounted police on horseback side to side to the East presumable blocking the protesters from going downtown. It looked like a lot of Moms and some kids as well as a younger crowd. What I didn't understand was if the protesters were marching down Allen Parkway or had specifically picked that spot. The irony of it all is that 200 yards West is the Houston Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank.
There were no police blocking the protesters to the West and indeed no police in front of the building during the protest. It's not entirely clear what their message is aside from we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore. This over-sized, imposing, in your face building is the perfect metaphor. You aren't allowed in, this place cost a fortune of your money to build so what! Protest this!
