Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* Kurt Westergaard is selling the original bomb-in-turban drawing that was perhaps the most notorious of the original Jyllands-Posten Muhammed caricatures (at least the most controversial one that was actually one of the drawings and not one of the drawings used by agitators to stir up crowds) and a dramatic part of recent events whereby some of the political turmoil was rehashed. Seeing as the last we heard from the cartoonist he and his wife were homeless after being booted from their hotel as a security risk, I supposed he could use the money.

* Spiegel Online has a nice profile of Westergaard.

* parents whose kindergarten-age children are being taught by Westergaard's wife, Gitte, have attempted to have her suspended because of worries she may put the children at risk.

* another incitement to have Westergaard murdered, this time on a Palestinian children's program.

* an association in Algeria protested directly to that country's Danish ambassador.

* this article uses the recent cartoon-related troubles to talk about past efforts to has destroyed statues depicting Muhammed.
