finally someone threw their shoe at a sitting u.s. president! how cool is that? and not just once but twice! hurray for a journalist putting his close proximity to george bush to good use! of course in the world of u.s. imperialism, no good deed goes unpunished, so he's been beaten & is currently detained. sign a petition for the immediate release of muntather al-zeidi here.
this is a translation of the reporter's words as he aimed for bush's head, just narrowly missing it:
this is a farewell kiss, you dog...this is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in iraq.
and here is a tribute that found it's way to youtube about an hour ago. you will notice that the 2nd half is appropriately set to calle 13's los de atrás vienen conmigo (the ones left behind are coming with me)* ...
conmigo vienen, vienen los de atrás (duro!!)...
sin mirar pa´tras vienen los de atrás
mirando pal´frente vienen los de atrás...
los de atrás vienen conmigo
vienen los de atrás, hey!
**
they're coming with me, the ones left behind...
without looking back they're coming
looking straight ahead they're coming...
they're coming with me
the ones from behind are coming, hey!
: calle 13
* more about this song another time for sure (includes shout-outs to argentina's villa 31 + venezuela's barrio 23 de enero, among others!)...
