So i was at a Friend wedding , and one of the guys there is a old blogger , and another asked him why hasn’t he posted much lately , and he told him he was on Twitter
Then we had a talk , If blog in Arabic is مدونة
What would Twitter be ?
I gave the suggestion it should be Zarzoring زرزورين
from the Kuwait Bird Zarzoor ( the bird english name is Starling )

Alwatan Daily as always , report things that are un-logical
Alwatan[Arabic]
تحصين الجداول الانتخابية، احكمت امره إدارة الانتخابات في وزارة الداخلية، ومن ضمن ذلك «اغلاق الباب امام مزدوجي الجنسية من التصويت في دائرتين مختلفتين، مثلما كان يحدث في الدوائر الـ 25 قبل الغزو، وبعده بسنوات قليلة».
واكد مسؤول طلب عدم نشر اسمه لـ «الوطن» ان «مزدوج الجنسية لن يستطيع الادلاء بصوته مرتين، حتى لو اختلف اسمه في الاثبات الكويتي عن هويته في الدولة الخليجية الاخرى، وهذا بفضل رصد الارقام الموحدة وارقام الجنسية والبطاقة المدنية، ووضع ذلك في برنامج خاص في اجهزة كمبيوتر سرية، اضافة الى كشوف محصنة يمنع التلاعب فيها».
The election department in the Ministry of Interior is done with securing the electorate list , among it closing the gate on people with dual nationality to vote in two separate districts as it happened before the Iraqi Invasion and couple of years after it
An unnamed Source assured Alwatan Daily that ” A dual Nationality would not be able to vote twice even if his name in the Kuwait ID does not match his Gulf ID and that is by tracking the National Number and Nationality identification and Civil ID and putting all that in secret computer programs and secure list that can’t be manipulated
Now you may be asking , that sound fine and dandy , whats my beef with them ?
I’ll tell you what
What use is it ?
WHY WOULD ANY NONE KUWAITI IDENTIFICATION BE ACCEPTED IN A KUWAITI ELECTION IN THE FIRST PLACE ??!??!??!!??
To vote you need to present your Kuwaiti Nationality paper , you Civil ID or Driving license is not accepted , HOW DO YOU USE YOUR GULF ID FOR IT ?!?!?
Oh and that news report is written by 11 people !! and contain at least 14 news item mashed in one news report …..

So the Election is back upon us again ( in less than a year none the less )
And it seem there is more interest this year in blogs than the election before it
two example i saw recently which draw my attention
First off , we have a candidate from Jahra , who even featured the blog in his Ad in the newspaper
and unlike the second example , is very active , but he need to talk more about what he is going to do , connect with his potential voters , not an article dump
The other example is Aseel AlAwadi , she had a blog but since the last election it was collecting dust and just posted a video saying she is going to go into this election also , waste of use of connecting to future and current supporters
Blog links for who want to check it out
