Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* the jury in the Tahawwur Rana case has now been seated. Rana is the Chicago area businessman indicted for trying to help out on any number of dubious causes, some spearheaded by an acquaintance named David Coleman Headly, including scouting out locations for what became the Mumbai Massacre and plotting to shoot up the offices of Danish Cartoons newspaper Jyllands-Posten. This trial is a big deal, as Headley has already pleaded guilty and supplied Indian and US authorities with enough dirt to discombobulate affairs in a way 10,000 bombs might not have. Rana has for the most part maintained his innocence throughout.

* I don't know if I ever heard about the man who was fired from his job for putting a portrait of Muhammed out in his yard. Now my life is much more complete complete. I have to say I share his objections to the initial news coverage, although publishing the Muhammed cartoons on placards in my yard never occurred to me.
