A short recon of what’s out there today that might draw your attention.
Captain Z of From My Position….On The Way! Takes on Tom Toles’ editorial cartoon depicting the quadriplegic soldier, only this time its Tom Toles he puts in the cartoon with his post Hurts, don’t it?: “What next, a cartoon of a C-130 flying into the Wapo headquarters--"What secret mission from the Joint Chiefs?" C'mon, Tolles, you know you can't wait to compare us Soldiers to Terrorists. Now go wrap yourself up in the First Ammendment and suck your thumb to sleep--I hope you get into an accident on your way to work, and wake up a quadruple amputee, you son of a whore. If I ever meet you, you're due for a nine-fingered ass-whooping, and I will take great joy in breaking every last bone in your hands before shoving them up your ass.”
Cassandra at Villainous Company writes The Freedom To Offend: “The past few weeks have been interesting ones for freedom of expression. The stories in the news are, in a way, not nearly as interesting as the reactions of various groups to the questions they raise about the competing values of unfettered speech on the one hand, and the warm and fuzzy concepts of sensitivity, multiculturalism, and tolerance on the other. And in the background looms a third issue: what about the right of individuals, groups, and corporations to decide for themselves what speech they will endorse, host, or broadcast? Should they be compelled to provide a vehicle for offensive or provocative speech, and if so, who should so compel them and under what rationale?
Michelle Malkin writes In Search of A Brave American Newspaper: “I have contacted several newspaper op-ed editors urging them to run the Danish forbidden cartoons along with my column this week.
So far, all have declined.
Now, via a tip from Sissy Willis, I learn that the Los Angeles Times (of all papers!) is planning to run the cartoons this weekend.”
Pat Cleary writing at RedState puts up For Lou Dobbs, It's Always Groundhog Day: “As anyone who has ever suffered through Lou Dobbs' show can tell you, to see it once is to see every episode. We've said it before: He has the best gig on television -- or anywhere for that matter -- in that he does the same show night after night. Every night he serves up a daily dose of misery and mayhem wrapped around a singular theme: America is going to hell in a handbasket. Indeed, it is the darker, TV equivalent of the movie, ‘Groundhog Day.’”
