While the US government is considering clamping down on political blogs, those fun-loving theocrats in Iran are taking it to the next level. Josh Marshall writes about Iranian blogger Arash Sigarchi, who was sentenced to 14 years in prison for thought and speech crimes including "insulting the country's leaders." Full story here, plus some ideas on what you can do about it, from the good folks at Human Rights First.
Action
- Your Whole Pet
My pet column for the San Francisco Chronicle on SFGate.com
Other Places I Blog
- Pet Connection
I'm a contributing editor for Universal Press Syndicate's Pet Connection, and I blog there, too, along with New York Times bestelling author Gina Spadafori, Good Morning America vet Dr. Marty Becker, and MSNBC.com's Kim Campbell Thornton. - AfterElton.com
I blog there mostly about movies, actors, and TV shows, but sometimes I sneak in some politics. - AfterEllen.com
I don't blog here as frequently as at their brother site, AfterElton.com, but they let my inner Warrior Princess run free now and then when I have news to report about Lucy Lawless, Renee O'Connor, or Xena: Warrior Princess. - Club Kingsnake
I'm an editor and one of several bloggers who write about music at this Austin-based site. - DailyKos
DailyKos, I wish I knew how to quit you.

BlogRoll
- What Do I Know?
This is the longest-running blog on my blogroll -- written by ex-pat Kathy Flake, commentary on politics and stories about her dog. - Pam's House Blend
I never miss reading the Blend. Fantastic LGBT plus mainstream politics in the perfect mix for my interests. - AMERICAblog
I keep getting fed up with some of the more testosterone-drenched political blogs, and have to stop reading them for a while. And yet I never stop reading this one. - Food Politics
Food safety and nutrition scientist and reformer Marion Nestle's blog. Required reading for anyone who, you know, eats stuff.
Links
- Pet Connection
The home of Gina's Spadafori's Pet Connection column, for which I'm a contributing editor. - RescueNetwork.org
This is a searchable directory of animal rescue groups and shelters, and offers a number of free and useful services to those organizations, as well as to individuals looking for homes for pets, and to post lost/found/missing notices. Staffed by very dedicated volunteers! - PetPress.net - The Pet News Engine
Another website where I work. And you can add your citizen journalist two bits to the mix, too - as long as it's about animals. - PetHobbyist.com
I'm the Editor and Director of Community Service for this group of websites. In other words, this is what pays for grass-fed organic beef for my dogs. - Blogs By Women
A directory of weblogs written by women. - Mark Morford
Every time I read something by this guy, I suffer a bitter and poisonous envy at not having written it. Damn you, Mark Morford! - Columbia Journalism Review Daily
Real-time media analysis from people who are actually journalists practicing journalism. It's a dying art. Cherish it while you can.
