Good riddance.

Via Feministe, I found out about another way to signal an end to the Bush years--with a view of my shoe. Organized by Lisa at My Ecdysis, I am joining other bloggers and borrowing a page from Muntader al-Zaidi, the 29-year-old Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at Bush to demonstrate his anger at the destruction that the US invasion and occupation of Iraq has inflicted. And here it is.



Muntader al-Zaidi was jailed after the incident, and he had only been allowed two visitors--and none since December 21. According to this New York Times article, he was allowed a visitor on Friday and continued to show signs of having been beaten. He is also now seeking asylum in Switzerland.
