The Hate Crimes on Wikipedia project continues. I’ve got more cases to post this week, as time allows. Right now it looks like another one made the front page of Wikipedia’s “Did you know…” section. First it was the article on Nizah Morris. This time it’s the article on Nireah Johnson. (Second from the bottom in the clip below.)

    How is it that made the front page of Wikipedia while having questions of notability? I think in this case, you have a murderer with some issues. We can agree the problem was not Neriah. Well, good luck.

    • Mark this day on your calendar: August 4, 2009. It may not all happen on that day, but it will mark 9 months since November 4, 2008: the day Barack Obama defeated John McCain in the presidential election. So, that  would be "zero day" for the Obama baby boom.

    • Well, I'd hope so. Anyone stupid or careless enough to put an uzi inthe hands of an eight-year-old ought to be charged with something. The D.A. looking into "whether anyone committed a reckless or wanton act" by allowing the child to fire a weapon. Oh, I'd say that qualifies as reckless and wanton. If it doesn't, then nothing does.

    • I admit it. My first thought when I saw this was, "Honest, officer. I don't know what happened. I totally meant to hit the brakes. I guess my foot just slipped."

    • I'm not saying its the kind of thing that anyone should base their vote on, but I gotta admire a campaign when I find out about the candidate's economic plan on an LGBT social network, and then get a link to read or download the entire plan on Scribd. It tells me that a campaign is making a special effort to reach out to people like me, and that the campaign is up to date on the latest ways to disseminate information.

    • If you haven't yet, take the time to stop by Box Turtle Bulletin, where they have been doing a great series of day-by-day posts on the Matthew Shepard murder. Today's post is a particularly heartbreaking one, about the moment ten years ago when Dennis and Judy Shepard walked into their son's intensive care room and saw him for the first time since the attack. It also links to the earlier posts in the series.

    • Sarah Palin says she's trying to keep Tina Fey. Huh? With a hit show, an Emmy win, and a $6 million book deal, I don't think Tina Fey needs Sarah Palin. In fact, she was doing fine even when Sarah Palin was "Sarah 'Who?'" to most of the country. But, maybe she can help Fey find her purse.

    • Its sounds like a joke, but it's true. You know the economy has gone South when folks around in Macon (or anywhere else in the south) are going to restaurants and not ordering sweet tea.

    • Big news. Clay Aiken is gay. Bigger news. So is Lindsey Lohan. Or, at least, she's been dating a woman "for a really long time." I don't know what counts as "a really long time" for Lohan. But kudos to Aiken, at least, for finally coming out. The closet is no place to raise a kid.
