Interesting..

My friends were attacked because of the cartoons, details posted on my blog ( here and here). Have a read and tell me what you think, might interest you..

That's horrible, Nugget! I sincerely hope everyone's ok and that they've caught the people responsible. No one should have to deal with that.

To be clear, this post is a joke. Well, let me clarify: the specific purchase of Danish beer--by someone who does not generally buy beer---is not a joke, because I support free speech in all its varied and sometimes odious forms. I HATE censorship. I really do. There's nothing worse in my book, because in its haste to manipulate the situation, the censor denies someone the opportunity to make up their own damn mind. That's why you'll never, ever, never EVER see me campaigning to have Mein Kampf removed from the library shelves. I think it needs to be there so that for every person who gets the wrong idea by reading it, there are a thousand others who get why it's so awful. So, I bought beer to protest certain Islamic countries' boycott of Danish goods and services. I bought the beer because I don't believe Denmark's economy deserves to suffer the manufactured wrath of Islamic countries who wish to boycott their goods. It appears it's easier for these leaders to use insults to Islam as a distraction from their own repressive regimes, than to deal with real reform that might put them out of power.

Other than writing that, I'll be blunt and say I don't know exactly what you're looking for, Nugget.

I'm not much of a beer drinker myself, except when you need something to wash down tamales. Thanks for putting me onto this fine product from Denmark -- I feel a tamale dinner coming on.

mmmmm. tamales. we likes tamales.

You find the best ones (made fresh every morning) at Luna's Tortilla Factory near downtown Dallas! I work in Fort Worth, but the wife expects me to bring home tamales everytime I go to Dallas. It's been a while now. I need to contrive some excuse to make that trip.

So if these miscreants start desecrating bratwurst and wheels of cheddar, does that give me an excuse to go out and get another 6-pack of Lenienkugel Honey Weiss? Not that I NEED an excuse, but I'd like to do my part for national solidarity, should the need arise.
