"occupy change national conversation" = 489
"budget cuts" = 20,600

I couldn't duplicate those numbers at all. As I said, I googled budget cuts and occupy change national conversation under news, not a regular google search and looked at the articles that were most relevent to the search, not total hits.

You're right HD. Newscasts and newspapers have been focusing on Paul Ryan's budget, Boehner's cuts and republican austerity measures more than ever and ignoring OWS. It's all been in my mind. Thanks for setting me straight.

I'm sorry you didn't like the numbers.

If it is any satisfaction, I tried "occupy the couch" and got 7 million. Even found a Facebook page.

"In solidarity with the recent national uprising we will not abandon your couches until our demands are met. None of which are negotiable."

#1. More outdoor fun.
#2. Take control back from the man of the peanut butter and the cheese.
#3. Access to the garbage at all times.

They have created conversation. It may be a little more in the news here in NY NJ than it is in other parts of the country. Even here it has cooled a little. But it has created conversation. There is no denying it.

Sadly, conversation doesn't "pay the bills". A bunch of fat people can converse about diet and excersize. All the fatties agree their weight is a problem. The conversation won't make them weigh less.

A bunch of hippies talk about the need for economic reform. People agree that economic reform is needed. The conversation won't bring any reform.

Supporting candidates with new ideas beings reform. Sadly Obama vs whomever the Republicans put up will be devoid of new ideas.
