...nominate Denmark's Prime Minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, for his handling of the cartoon affair. No amount of diplomatic pressure, economic boycotts or burned embassies would persuade him that limiting free press could have some noble outcome. Now, on issues of religious intolerance, we shall measure our leaders by the Rasmussen Resolve Scale. If they don't meet his standards, we will vote them away...
Well, it finally happened: South Park offended someone. Singer Isaac Hayes, 63, the voice of the cartoon's sex-obsessed CHEF, has quit, citing its "intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs of others."

He is a father who feels obliged to raise the children he sired. Luke and Anakin...
...shame piles up by the side of the bed, staring us in the face every time we accidentally wake up in the morning. The shame’s name is The New Yorker; the shame is a reminder of our intellectual impotence and poor time-management skills. The cartoons are the only thing we read; we do it even though it makes us feel bad. FM got to interview the New Yorker’s cartoon editor Bob Mankoff when he guest-lectured at Harvard Medical School Professor Nancy Etcoff’s Psychology 987i: Science of Happiness lecture...
