When the Shoes Dropped: Notes on a protest in Montréal

By mcforte on | From openanthropology.wordpress.com
What For? Two days ago, on Saturday, 21 December, 2008, when I chose to participate in and do video documentation of a protest in Montréal organized by Block the Empire / Bloquez l’empire , like anyone else taking part, and those against it who did not take part, I had to ask myself “What for?” That the temperatures remained at about -14 degrees centigrade, with some added wind chill, and there had just been a heavy snowfall, and that this also was a Saturday afternoon, and that I had only...Read Full Story

A shoe flies, a leader ducks ... a trend is born?

| From ap.org
For a few days, he was famous the world over — an Iraqi TV journalist who became an instant hero for millions when he hurled his shoes at President George W. Bush's head and called him a dog. Little has been heard out of Muntadhar al-Zeidi since he left Iraq and started a charity in Switzerland last year.

Demonstrators in Montreal pelted a black-and-white presidential photograph with boots, shoes and slippers and denounced the U.S. war in Iraq and the NATO-led war in Afghanistan, before marching to a downtown Canadian...Read Full Story

Its All Fun & Games Until A President Loses An Eye

By TRM1 on | From dequalss.com
Some years back the hatred loons hold for President Bush ceased to be anything based on logic or legitimate reasons and simply turned into something cool to do.  You know, like its fashionable to think Obama is going to save the earth from all the bad, bad men, because I refuse to believe that a large portion of our society is really that stupid to have voted for him based on any hint of merit or ability.  Bring on the “throw something at Bush” games popping up all over the net. The surge...Read Full Story
