POPSCartoon SEX and Spanish Royalty don't mix "Spain has developed the most lurid pornography in Europe, with magazines and television shows dedicated to the sex lives of the rich and famous. King Juan Carlos, 69, has not himself been entirely immune from scandal. A decade ago he was upbraided for mixing during his summer holidays with a highly questionable set of Mallorca businessmen. Under Spanish law, introduced in 1995, anybody who insults the royal family can face up to two years in prison. The public prosecutor argued that the cartoon was "clearly degrading and objectively defaming" and was "obviously an attack" against "the honour" of the prince because of "the deliberate and unjustified use of his image, in evident and conscious contempt of the Crown, causing notable hurt to its institutional prestige"."

POPSHello! Is Sanity in the House? By some people's reasoning it should be allowable for Jews to riot because Joe's BBQ opens and serves pulled pork platters? Christians should storm the gates because Wal-Mart is not keeping the Sabbath holy? Catholics should go berserk when someone doesn't genuflect before Mary? Why aren't more people standing up and saying these crazy people are crazy? We're all supposed to adhere to Sharia law? How utterly absurd and pointless.

POPS17 Danish Newspapers Print Blasphemous Cartoon * Editors say they printed the caricature to take a stand against self-censorship Thursday, February 14, 2008 The Danish Foreign Ministry said meanwhile it was following the situation closely in the world. Members of Denmark’s Muslim community have distanced themselves from the murder plot revealed on Tuesday, but were opposed to the publication of the cartoon on Wednesday. Imam Walid Abdul Pedersen, a Protestant who converted to Islam, said, “It’s not a good idea to reproduce it and the newspapers could have defended the cartoonist differently, without resorting to provocation.” “It’s good to have a dialogue on freedom of expression, but you shouldn’t seek out a confrontation from the start,” he said.

POPSCartoonist Arrested "Nekschot’s work is rude and often sexually explicit. As such it is characteristic for the Dutch liberal mentality and not beyond the limit in the Netherlands. In his cartoons, however, he mocks the multicultural society, and that does seem to be beyond all bounds."

POPSFor Better or For Worse cartoonist postpones retirement for her fans Here is the official website for the comic strip For Better or For Worse, one of my favorites. I'm pleased that the strip will continue, but since it will be at the expense of the cartoonist's retirement plans I feel a little selfish. If only Gary Larson could have been persuaded to continue The Far Side....

POPSThe MSM just doesn't get it They just don't get it. First I see some reporter speculating that McCain is being hurt in fund raising because of his support for the war. Now they think enough republicans actually read Doonesbury to make it worrisome for a republican candidate. Fact is, it seems to me they believe their leftist view of the world is so normal that even republicans think that way.

POPSTed Rall depicts American Soldier as Suicide Bomber It's a moral inversion. But it's sickening that it's not coming out of an Islamic country, it's being done by someone who apparently just shares their hatred of America with the guys who put on bomb jackets and die for allah. This is a good example of moral relativism. When the Al Qaeda torture manual came out at the smoking gun, there wasn't a peep from the MSM. And that stuff was pretty rough.

POPSTed Rall is America's BS detector (he's got his hands full) Ted Rall (born 1963 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) is a liberal columnist and syndicated editorial cartoonist whose political cartoons often appear in a multi-panel comic-strip format. Ted Rall's Work Style Rall is one of a new breed of editorial cartoonists who began in the alternative weeklies during the 1980s and early 1990s with wordy, abstractly drawn strips about politics and social issues. His abstract drawing style reflects a distinct break from the cross-hatched style developed by Jeff MacNelly during the 1960s, a house style that had become virtually synonymous with American editorial cartooning. CLICK THIS LINK http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/19/Rallcartn.png To see a Ted Rall cartoon depicting John Kerry and George W. Bush. Bush is always portrayed as Generalissimo El Busho - a vicious military dictator - in Rall's comics.
