Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* here's a nice write-up on Jytte Klausen's speech at Yale last night, including some video. She dances along the line that is her position against the images not being included because the danger cited runs against the entire thesis of her book but also not wanting to be sucked into a controversy that would include taking the book somewhere. It's the most credible she's sounded on the issue, I think. Also, Joseph Cumming defended the Press' decision at the meeting.

* there was a small protest of Kurt Westergaard's same-day visit at another Yale college. Here's a write-up of Westergaard's speech, complete with security measures and students yelling from the crowd Joe Wilson style. Apparently, Westergaard also spoke in a private home in New York on this same trip.

* I'm not sure what you did for International Blasphemy Day, but I hope it was a good one. I had planned on blackmailing a late-night talk show host, but that fell through.
