Wire Stories: Spiegelman in Harper’s

Variations of this wire story are going around, which goes to show you the Danish Cartoons Controversy remains an issue at least on some level. I find it odd that Harper's has yet to update their web site with the new issue's cover -- although maybe they routinely do this after the print edition hits the stands, I don't know.

Doing a blog search on Spiegelman and/or Harper's thrusts you into the gruesome world of political blogging, which is more depressing than other kinds of blogging because the various strident dimwits raging in largely unimaginative, pre-programmed ways one encounters are doing so while engaged in real-world issues. My impression from a light reading of what's been posted so far is that Spiegelman, by criticizing several actors in the publication of the cartoons and the riots and press ostrich impersonations that followed, will be hit by both sides. On the other hand, this particular permutation is not a big enough issue for people, even bloggers, to spend a lot of time on it, so it will go away soon.
