Ya gotta laugh.
This is starting to sound as ignorant as the crap we heard out of Ferguson. "Burn the ***** down," the ***** burned and ...
"Melt that sinful snow," LOL, this is too funny, I think I'm becoming hysterical.
'Ell, I won't even take off my pants in the snow, LOL. These guys ever been in the snow? Things shrivel instead of getting lusty. How stupid.
Anatomically correct, sans clothing.

On Tuesday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf refused to criticize new Charlie Hebdo cartoons. White House press secretary Josh Earnest was similarly restrained Monday.

Marie Harf is a cartoon unto herself. And here is some good old fashioned American satire on Josh Earnest: https://twitter.com/weknowwhatsbest

Yes, because before it's over with, this will be about a news outlet's 'right to choose'. Stay tuned.

You're welcome! I'm so glad I could find some small gesture that expresses my heart for France.

#JeSuisOlaf LOL!! I'm stealing that!
<snip> Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, told the Today programme that Charlie Hebdo had no choice but to print the cover it had.
“You cannot have a march through the streets of Paris attended by 46 world leaders, 4 million people, climaxing with a shout of ‘We are not afraid’ and then not print the central object of contention,” he said. “Of course they are right to do that and I am afraid it is absolutely vital now that everybody stands up and defends their right to publish. You may not agree with what they have done, you may be offended by what they have done, but you should defend their right to publish it.”

LARGEST ISLAMIC BODY IN THE WORLD CALLS FOR MORE ANTI-FREE SPEECH LAWS IN THE WAKE OF CHARLIE HEBDO ATTACK
PJMedia reports
http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2015/01/1...amation-laws-in-wake-of-charlie-hebdo-attack/
Last weeks terror attack targeting French magazine Charlie Hebdos office in Paris has sparked a global conversation about the nature of free speech, with the Je Suis Charlie hashtag in support of the murdered Charlie Hebdo staff going viral and becoming the most used hashtag in the history of Twitter.
But this afternoon, the UN representative for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Ufuk Gokcen, was expressing another view with respect to free speech.
The OIC is comprised of the 57 Muslim-majority nations and the Palestinian Authority. They are the largest bloc at the UN, and when they meet on the head-of-state level, they literally speak for the Muslim world.
So it is noteworthy that after the Charlie Hebdo attack, Gokcen is now calling for more implementation of the OIC-sponsored UN Human Rights Council Resolution 16/18 and the follow-up Rabat Plan of Action that would criminalize the very type of speech that Charlie Hebdo engaged in.

It's very moving to know how the cartoon for the cover was made. Thank you for sharing it.
I do believe I've heard of everything now. I wish all the nuts would just go find their own planet to live on.

DEFENDING ISLAM FROM FREE SPEECH
USA Today:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/opini...oic-un-hate-speech-criticism-column/21609273/
Many have taken false comfort in blaming the cold-blooded attack of Charlie Hebdo on the fanatical action of a small minority of Muslims. But attributing the horror perpetrated in Paris to a band of Salafist radicals alone betrays a willful blindness to a longstanding campaign by broad-based Islamic groups to silence those they consider blasphemers.
The Islamic State and al-Qaeda are by no means the most powerful purveyors of the destructive idea that Islam demands unqualified protection against perceived insult. In the aftermath of the Paris attack, reputable Muslim groups around the world have denounced the violence, but important bodies such as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Arab League, as well as many of the individual states comprising these groups, must bear responsibility for nurturing an environment that breeds violence in the name of defending Islam.
(...)
For more than a decade, "the collective voice of the Muslim world" has spread the belief that any insult directed against the Muslim faith or its prophet demands absolute suppression. Quashing "defamation of Islam" is enshrined as a chief objective in the organization's charter.
(...)
Translated into practice inside Islamic nations and increasingly elsewhere, this toxic vision breeds contempt for freedom of religion and expression, justifies the killing of Muslims and non-Muslims alike, and casts a pall of self-censorship over academia and the arts.

For instance, USA's ally Jordan is a member of OIC.
The Guardian this morning:
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/jan/13/charlie-hebdo-cover-magazine-prophet-muhammad
Prince Hassan bin Talal of Jordan said the latest cartoon had added more salt to the wound.
He said: If the cartoon had read Je suis Ahmed, given that many were carrying that badge after the police Ahmed Merabet who was killed, might not have put more salt to the wound but taken it to another level.

Ah that I agree entirely with. But then how can we agree on who is nuts and who isn't? We would certainly all have different views on who is nuts and the degree of nuttiness
