Dahlia Lithwick thinks the media hostility to OWS guarantees the press's irrelevance. Kevin Drum isn't so sure:
As weeks drift into months, and the OWS movement continues to shun the very idea of alliance building, political action, or stronger messaging, it looks more and more as if it's going to drift into irrelevance without accomplishing anything. Heavy-handed police action could change that, of course, but at this point it sort of looks to me as if its most promising destiny is to be v1.0 of whatever springs up in its wake.
This weekend's snow made the occupation harder to sustain:
Some electric pumps and heaters would have come in handy, but the city confiscated Occupy Wall Streets' generators and gasoline [Friday], citing them as fire code violations. If they continue to be banned, the movement will lack in heat sources once the cold weather settles in more permanently.
