FREEDOM OF SPEECH - TOO VALUABLE TO GIVE A SHIT ABOUT

Tuesday, 07 February 2006 By TEX LUMBAGO

OK, so I've got a cartoon of Mohammed with a bomb in his turban. It also has written on it the instructions on how to make this bomb, and where to acquire the ingredients for the bomb.

I'm sure everyone will rally round and protect our right to publish this illustration!
Won't they?

Pithy Quote

Every man has a cry, his cry, to sling into the air before he dies; let us waste no time, therefore, lest we be caught short. It is true that this cry may scatter ineffectually in the air, that there may be no ear either below on earth or above in heaven to hear it. No matter. You are not a sheep, you are a man, and that means a thing which is unsettled and shouts. Well then--shout!
