>>> this year's tournament of roses parade in pasadena, may look a lot like the current state of the u.s. economy . the occupy protesters are planning to flood the event with thousands of people. a lot of folks are cutting back on floats. one float maker locally is out of business. several companies have drooped out. for the first time in memory, even the budweiser clydesdales are staying home in sarnt louis, presumably to watch the parade on tv like the rest of us.
