Vote Rev Billy For Mayor Of NYC It’s our Democracy, stupid! All problems can be traced to our inability to convene, to meet – physically – in public space. Meeting in public, the oldest form of Democracy, is also the most modern.  It is resisted by a byzantine system of police permits, insurance, surveillance.  Our […]

Posted on March 25, 2009 by kwilder

Poem for Muntadhar Al-Zeidi, the eloquent shoe-tosser

Posted on February 18, 2009 by kwilder

I thought it was a beautiful tribute and reflection on that moment when Iraqi journalist Muntadhar Al-Zeidi met […]
