Occupy has seemed to be in a bit of a winter hibernation. There are still encampments, meetings, decisions, protests, and so on, but it seems like there has been a relative lull in its activity level. This is fine; you can't stay cranked all the way up to 10 all the time. A little pause to regroup, rethink and recharge is a good thing. There is a chance that the some occupations that emerge might have a very different character than the one that began to recede from public consciousness towards the end of last year, though.

We think most people agree that money has corrupted our politics. Some even think that we now live in a Plutocracy, and not in a Democracy, and that both parties are corrupted and now represent only the financial oligarchy. So, the central issue of our time is how can we break its hold? How can we overcome the influence of money in politics and make our political system more responsive to most Americans once again?

So it doesn't look like the newly empowered Dems and their rabid vanguard in the netroots are going to be able to end the war this week. Rather than fume, stew, or drink myself silly, I thought I'd see if I could direct some energy towards a worthy project that serves all our liberal purposes. The Punch Clock Project sounds like a great idea, and I think we should bring it back to the conversation. Read below the fold...
