Controversy
Comments on U.S.In 2003, Depp's comments about the United States appeared in Germany's Stern magazine: "America is dumb, is something like a dumb puppy that has big teeth — that can bite and hurt you, aggressive."[65]
Although he later asserted that the magazine misquoted him and the quotation was taken out of context, Stern stood by its story, as did CNN.com in its coverage of the interview.
CNN added his remark that he would like his children "to see America as a toy, a broken toy.
Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling and then get out."[66]
The July 17, 2006 edition of Newsweek reprinted the "dumb puppy" quotation, verbatim, in the context of a Letter to the Magazine.

Depp has also disagreed with subsequent media reports that he says paint him as a "European wannabe", saying that he likes the anonymity of living in France and his simpler life there.[65]

In 2011, Depp moved back to the U.S., because he said the taxes in France were too high.[67]

Counterforce and Countermeasure: Preparing the Election Battlespace

Counterforce and Countermeasure: Preparing the Election Battlespace Daily Pundit
There are two Occupy movements.
The one that matters is the Marxist hard core that is astroturfing the movement as part of the battlespace preparation for Obama’s reelection campaign.
The second is the much larger outer ring of dupes and useful tools who are genuinely upset over economic issues, but because they view themselves as liberals, they automatically eschew participation in the Tea Parties.

The Marxist organizers are less concerned with what happens to the encampments over the next few weeks than they are with establishing the ability to roll out sizeable numbers of useful tools into the streets as a strategic countermeasure to the much larger Tea Parties, which will begin to make their presence public again as the election draws closer.

They foresee bands of black-masked Occupiers attacking and scattering any legally organized demonstrations the Tea Party may arrange for.
The cops can’t do it, but these new Obama Brown Shirts can, while the cops look the other way.

Heck, it worked perfectly in Madison......cops...."we saw nothink, nothink"....

Europe's Financial Crisis is Headed to America

Europe's Financial Crisis is Headed to America - The Daily Beast
So why should Americans care about any of this?
The first reason is that, with American consumers still in the doldrums of deleveraging, the United States badly needs buoyant exports if its economy is to grow at anything other than a miserably low rate.
And despite all the hype about trade with the Chinese, U.S. exports to the European Union are nearly three times larger than to China.
