Dearest Waccies,

The following website has pictures of people throwing or holding up their shoe in support of Muntader al-Zaidi and in protest against Bush.

You can post your own there!

Some of the compositions are truly brilliant, and funny!

And welcome back Edward/Valley Oak. It's good to see you haven't been deterred, or cowed, during your absence (banishment?). Your inimitable provocational style is intact, for both good and ill.....

Check out the shoe pictures everyone. They're truly touching in the ways that people show their own creativity and sensitivity while participating in a group protest.

And to Barry Latham-Ponneck, great letter! Congratulations on getting it printed in the PD. It's sure to get a slew of outraged responses. It already had one reaction today.

From what I read in the PD, Mr. al-Zaidi, is still in detention. He supposedly wrote a letter begging for clemency that his brother says is fake. I signed an international petition a couple of days ago calling for his release without charges.

I just tried finding it with google but only found a much smaller petition site version from Code Pink.

Here's the URL for that one: https://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/sign-up-below-to-support-muntadar-al-zaidi?page=1

Let the Shoeing of Bush Continue!!!
