The Houston Independent Media Center liveblogged multiple arrests and police violence at the Halliburton shareholders' meeting in downtown Houston this morning.
Here are photos.
Here's video (RealPlayer).
I couldn't stand listening to the GOP Senators guillotine the filibuster any longer, so I switched over to the local newscast (ABC-13 "Eyewitless News") to see what they might report.
Their last three stories were -- no kidding -- hurricane season preparation, the new "Star Wars" movie opening, and a family of ducklings washed down a storm drain.
I can't get back to work fast enough.

Going nuclear
I am spending too much time away from work today to do my part to save our democracy.
While on the conference call with Harry Reid just now, I had C-Span on mute as John Cornyn spoke. I managed to catch the last of his comments as we completed. Now KBH is speaking about Saint Priscilla. I think she's about to cry.
I've been appalled at the hubris, the arrogance, the unmitigated gall of this administration so many times I'm sick of acknowledging it to myself. It makes me physically ill.
And at this moment I'm disgusted at what an embarrassment -- an abomination -- my two Senators are.
It is revolting that these two people dare to represent all Texans in this debate.
