Slabbed

I think everyone knows where we will be gathering and but that tidbit will not be disclosed on Slabbed for security reasons.  Doors will open at 10:00AM for any early attendees.  I will be there around 11:00.  I’ll try to get an email out later to those that expressed an interest in coming.

It should be noted the Young Administration tried to do the right thing before being overruled by the Parish Council.

The bloodlust faced by the ‘blaspheming’ Saudi journalist ~ The Guaradian

His supposed offence was to have tweeted part of an imaginary conversation with the prophet Muhammad. “I have loved things about you and I have hated things about you and there is a lot I don’t understand about you,” he wrote; and: “I will not pray for you.”

After six hours, he apologised for this, and then fled to Malaysia, en route to New Zealand, where he would have been safe. But after three days in Malaysia, he was arrested and shipped back to Saudi, where he faces the death penalty.

Maybe this is why Jacqueline Patterson Edwards took to the courthouse instead of the local media to air her complaints about systemic corruption in this region.  She is in fact a very smart woman IMHO.

Yo Karen, welcome to the Slabb.

Folks I can only shine that light with your help. Donations as low as $10 can make a difference though we’ll happily accept larger amounts too.

A quick note from your first amendment refugee moderator, Sop at Slabbed New Media ~ We Saw That

I’m proud the New Media coverage cuts across the political spectrum.  To borrow a pharse from our friend Anita Lee, we’re equal opportunity muckrakers. I’m sincerely appreciative for the bipartisan show of support.

If I missed anyone please email me.
