Wildcat to pick up on Grijalva story
I spoke with "Jake" from the Arizona Daily Wildcat over the phone this afternoon, so expect a story to come up very soon. We ended up talking more about bloggers’ role in politics than the incident itself, following up from Daniel Scarpinato’s comments in the Daily Star, which was nice as the issue is largely undiscussed within the mainstream media. Certainly, the concept in the context of the Internet is relatively new, but I’m certainly not the first person to become involved in an incident like this one within the context of Internet journalism or commentary, nor is this the first time I’ve been snubbed. I also highly doubt that a college paper like Wildcat hasn’t had its fair share of events such as these in its long history.
I’ll repost those easy-to-find links once I see the Wildcat article come up tomorrow. Ben Franklin had it right when he advocated early bedtimes and risings.
Update: Just to show this isn’t my first snubbing, here’s the other two notables from last semester.
- The ASUA Supreme Court didn’t see it fit to let me into an elections code violation hearing when the Wildcat was allowed in. I believe it was in retaliation for my criticism of Justice Shar Bahmani, who had commented on what was looking to be an upcoming impeachment of ASUA President Cade Bernsen for sexual harassment. There’s a lot more to the story, but I don’t feel like getting sued.
- Only two ASUA candidates bothered to respond to my candidate survey. I responded by refusing to vote in the general election.
So basically, this incident is not a first time deal.
Update II: I really need to learn to think before I click ’save.’ The incident is a first time deal if you’re talking about a real government official rather than ASUA, or if you’re talking about physical force.
