Information Salad: Episode #10
By Slobokan | September 19, 2006
We make plans to celebrate Banned Books Week, we talk about boobs and gay guys, and we talk about the new season of Survivor. You don’t want to miss this one!
Here’s what we “tossed up” this week:
- Vinny remembers a co-worker who was murdered in California.
- Josh Wolf’s appeal was denied.
The ruling said U.S. District Judge William Alsup, who held Wolf in contempt Aug. 1, was correct not to seek a balance between the importance of the grand jury investigation and Wolf’s rights as a journalist. However, the panel noted that such a balancing test would favor the government.
“He simply videotaped what people did in a public place,†the judges wrote. “Wolf does not claim that he filmed anything confidential nor that he promised anyone anonymity or confidentiality. Therefore, this case does not raise the usual concerns in cases involving journalists.â€
- Don’t Eat The Spinach
Step away from the spinach. For now anyway. I know you dont eat “rabbit food†some do.

Ben Lewandowski says he was only trying to be patriotic when he wore a homemade T-shirt featuring an American flag bumper sticker and the words “Remember 9/11†to Lincoln Park High School on Monday.
After all, it was Sept. 11—five years after the terrorist attacks.
The 17-year-old Lincoln Park resident put the shirt on Monday morning and headed to school—where he was quickly sent to the office and suspended for three days for violating the school’s dress code. - Stop The ACLU - A great site we discuss.
