    After reading the CNN headline today “Occupy Wall Street is Underway” I wondered how long it would take to see Syd’s Redfield cartoons show up on Blog sites. Thanks for posting them! If you’d like to read more about Syd’s left-wing life, visit http://www.SydHoff.org and click on the Ruling Clawss book cover, or go straight to http://www.ARedfield.com - Carol, Syd’s niece.

I.T.C.H is looking forward to your thoughts. Please, no flame. Thanks!
