Egyptians send pizzaIt's historical fact that Wisconsin was the birthplace of many progressive ideas, including worker's compensation, public employee unions, child labor laws, and more. Some even have advanced convincing arguments that the nationwide sports stadium phenomenon known as The Wave originated at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison during boring late '60s Badger games.
Now add to the Wisconsin innovation list this: Protest Pizza via Web. During last spring's massive protests in Madison relating to Gov. Walker's union-busting bill, sympathizers in Egypt and nearly 50 other countries ordered pizza by email for hungry demonstrators surrounding the state Capitol. The idea originted with sympathizers across Wisconsin and quickly spread worldwide.
Pizza by Web has now become a part of long-form, sit-in protests elsewhere. The current mass protests on Wall Street in New York City are the latest venue. From a post at FireDogLake.com:

Interview a Delegate in Denver!
What's green, speaks 12 languages, and travels 125,000 miles to cast half-votes?
If you guessed Democrats Abroad, you're right! And since every ball game needs a program, I think it's time for me give you our lineup for next week.
...and don't forget, Yanqui Mike is not the only Democrat abroad available to you during the Democratic National Convention in Denver next week: I'll be sitting next to some pretty heavy-hitters... including 8 Superdelegates.
Democrats Abroad will have 22 delegates each with a half vote, bringing the organization's total votes to 11.
Any one of those people make for fascinating interviews.
Frinstince, Dems are looking to leave a big mark in November's election ...but a very small carbon footprint.
Kissing Up To James Dobson Requires A Lot Of Lip Service
Nothing makes Focus on the Family's James Dobson happier than having his ego stroked...and Mark Joseph does just that in an open letter opinion piece on Fox News. The only thing missing in Joseph's "adore-itorial" is a picture of Dobson's freshly lip-kissed behind.
Joseph's glorification of Dobson is only a portion of two articles...one addressed to each of the presidential candidate in which he reminds them that "It's all about the Christians stupid!". The following excerpts are from the one directed to John McCain.
From Fox News:
First, if you do nothing else, fire up the Straight Talk Express or whatever it's called and get your tail to Colorado Springs. Can you really be dumb enough to have called James Dobson and asked him to come to your hotel room in Denver? Are you crazy? Would you call the pope and tell him you're going to be in Switzerland and would he mind meeting you at your chalet?
