Two Crossroads Ads About To Hit Airwaves

I'm working on a real post. Or I will be working on a real post. Until then, this is a link post.

It contains links.

It possesses linkage.

Oh Here's Something: I took off from the blog for like 90 minutes yesterday to "debate," sort of, William Saletan, the liberal who's not so keen on Free Speech anymore.

He eventually attempted to plonk me, which I knew he would. In fact, I predicted his plonking line of argument -- yes, but this movie isn't a good movie -- and advised him to avoid the stupid impulse to play that card.

After all, the Islamists are not objecting to the production values of the movie. They're objecting to the message -- the same message that Salman Rushdie got a fatwah for, and that was supposedly a good book. (To hear liberal critics tell it, at least.)

He eventually played it anyway, just as I'd forewarned.

You can't plonk an plonker.

You magnificent dummy, I read your book.

I Guess I Got Through To Saletan... Because he's now telling Muslims -- and Christians and Jews and Hindus -- that they shouldn't go banana-sandwich over videos.

You know, like non-Muslims have been doing so oft of late.
