Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* through a lawyer, Chicago businessman Tahawwur Rana officially pleads not guilty to charges related to international terrorism, including participation in a plot to inflict harm on major players in 2005's Danish Cartoons publication: the newspaper building (and its inhabitants), the most visible of the 12 cartoonists Kurt Westergaard, and editor Flemming Rose.

* in case you missed them, and to put everything in one place so I can to find them later if I need to:





the first one is the video made by a school in lighthearted support of beleaguered Danish Cartoons cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, to the point of receiving death threats for it because humanity sucks. The second one is an animation-enhanced news scenario that came out right after the New Year's Day attack on Westergaard. The animation was obviously made before it was learned that Westergaard hit the panic room by himself.

* that Kurt Westergaard art for auction that had a hard time finding a gallery backer? It's raised a considerable amount that will be donated to aid for Haiti.
