This morning POLITICO Arena asks:

Has the Occupy Wall Street movement accomplished anything?

My brief response:


Has OWS accomplished anything? Yes, it’s revived the mindless, narcissistic approach to public affairs that came out of the 1960s. And I’m delighted that the mainstream media has given OWS far more sympathetic attention than it ever gave the Tea Party, because it’ll all play out in next year’s elections. March on, OWS!
