The Occupy Wall Street movement has captured the attention and imagination of the country — and with it’s advent have come some stylistic innovations.

Our old friend and colleague Allen has serious reservations about “mic check” which he shares with us — along with an email discussion about the subject. The post includes a video of the Karl Rove disruption.
