Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* the trial of Kurt Westergaard and a number of journalists for crimes committed related to the publication of the Danish Muhammed in 2005 and 2006 continued Sunday in Amman. None of the defendants have shown, although the article notes that a western journalist arrived on the scene to cover the trial. It's not expected to go well for the accused, although how much direct impact a negative outcome might have on them is very much in question.

* this may not be worth noting for anyone but me, but there's a bunch of uses of the Danish cartoons as a metric of measurement for how people would be pissed if death photos of Osama Bin Laden were released -- here's a pretty standard one. I just sort of like how the Danish cartoons and the reaction to them has seeped into the culture enough to be a reference point.
