That modern world Tom Tomorrow, who needs to set up permalinks, has a thoughtful post about the Ted Rall flap. I hadn’t realized Alan Keyes had called for some kind of “governmental action” against the nefarious threat to national security posed by a cartoon, but I’m not surprised. Tom is wrong about just one thing, which is his notion that Keyes is normally “one of those let-the-marketplace-work-its-magic, get-the-government-off-our-backs conservatives.” Actually, he’s one of those unhinged-ranting, eyes-don’t-point-in-the-same-direction, secular-liberals-are-poisoning-our-moral-fiber conservatives, so his latest outburst is right in character.
Update: Tom Tomorrow installs permalinks! So here’s a direct link to the post discussed above. [12:17 AM]
