"...the CBC, not surprisingly, pixelated the cartoons while showing the newspapers, so as not to get their nice office building bombed offend the delicate sensibilities of its viewers. They aren't hard to find online, of course."
This is why I get all my news from the internet these days.
Just a reminder for everyone out there to buy some Danish products if you can. Tuborg is always at the top of my list. Imported havarti is good or maybe some Lego if a kid has a birthday coming up.

Posted at 2008-02-14 13:35:45 [PermaLink]How about some solidarity with Arun Gandhi who was forced to resign for something far less inflammatory?Oh I forget,solidarity is selective here;it extends only to those who malign, insult and attack Muslims and Islam.Say the same things about anyone else,especially the Jewish community and Israel,and the howls of outrage will be heard from coast to coast.How about some consistency here Damien?You may still be able to redeem yourself if you display your disgust at the way Arun was hounded out in the 'Land of the Free and Brave'.After all it is a 'free speech'thing isn't it?
