KW: This morning, Iraqi journalist and eloquent shoe-thrower Muntadhar Al-Zeidi was sentenced to 3 years in prison.

Nader and Romanelli travails in Pennsylvania update

Posted on March 6, 2009 by kwilder

This story touches on prospects of the Nader case in Pennsylvania. The courts in Pennsylvania used challenges to Nader’s petitions (and, separately, to Carl Romanelli’s petitions) to not only kick those candidates off the ballot, but to then “punish” them, by having to pay the lawyer’s fees for the other side. The other side were […]

Ballot Access News: Bad legislation moving forward in California

Posted on February 20, 2009 by kwilder

Richard Winger at Ballot Access News is very smart, and educated in election law and ballot access issues. I, personally, cannot understand all the implications of a new bill for California. Though, it seems like very bad news for independent, and possibly third party candidates, on a variety of levels. It would be worth taking […]

Making spanking worse: Spanking of children in Missouri Schools

Posted on February 20, 2009 by kwilder

Update – More research on spanking is: here. Evidently, in Missouri, teachers are still allowed to spank children in school. I think that is appalling. And, it makes me think that some activists should probably focus on making sure no schools in any state are allowed to use corporal punishment on children. It is outrageous […]

Good news: Al-Zeidi to have a trial on Feb 19th

Posted on February 8, 2009 by iwilder

KW: Well, it is good news, if for the trial, the Iraqi government finally allows the public a glimpse at Muntadha al-Zeidi so that the world knows he is well. Since the AP story on the subject inserts some “hot” words into their story, such as applying the word “outburst” to al-Zeidi’s action, I think […]
