Madison — State elections officials Wednesday narrowly rejected a Milwaukee Assembly candidate’s attempt to run with the slogan “NOT the ‘whiteman’s b****’ ” under her name on the ballot.
Ieshuh Griffin, an independent candidate with a history of feuds with local officials, said in response she would sue the state Government Accountability Board for infringing on her freedom of speech.
The opinion on the talk shows today, which I tend to agree with, is that it should be allowed. The slogan tells you pretty much all you need to know about her. She is petty, racist, lacks class, and either thinks whites are trying to keep minorities down, or at least wants you to believe that is what she thinks. At least it’s truth in advertising.
It is proper to address a married lady as Mrs., not Ms. If the article about Laura Bush’s new book had been original work, maybe it could be written off as ignorance of propriety. However, since it was a reprint of a New York Times article that used the proper title, the only assumption one can reach is that you edited it out of disrespect for the Bush family.
Violent attacks are estimated to be 44 per cent higher than they were in 1998 after research on the way police record them allowed comparisons for the first time.
The study, by the independent House of Commons Library, shows violence against the person increased from 618,417 to 887,942 last year.
The devastating review comes despite repeated claims by the Government that violent crime has come down substantially since it took power.
It is the first time such a trend in police recorded crime can be made because a change was made in counting rules in 2002 which ministers have always insisted meant figures before that date were not, therefore, comparable.
