Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* a German TV show has canceled its planned program with Danish Cartoons Controversy cartoonist Kurt Westergaard. Fears of terrorism were cited, although I guess that's really just "terrorism."

* the Jihad Jane trial may be pushed into late Fall. Colleen LaRose and Jamie Paulin-Ramirez are accused of supporting efforts to kill the artist Lars Vilks, who made sort of a sketchy cartoon with Muhammad's head on the body of a dog.

* the proximity of the failed Times Square fireball SUV to a Viacom building has led to many folks reaching for some sort of connection between that botched terrorism attempt and a South Park cartoon depicting Muhammad. This tangentially relates to the original Danish Cartoons Controversy in that the appearance of Muhammad as a character on the show goes back to the initial questions raised when the cartoons were published in Jyllands-Posten.
