02/18/2006: "Let’s Show them How We Do a Presidents Day Riot!"

I was out today demonstrating for the freedom of graphically-oriented humorists to harness irony to deliver political insight. This happens to be the same thing that Muslim extremists from around the world are agitating against. I’m not burning embassies or boycotting products, though. Indeed, I’m demonstrating in a manner entirely appropriate for a new-Millennium American – by shopping. Specifically, I was out this morning buying any Danish products I could find. And I then I had a delicious lunch of Havarti cheese, Carlsberg beer, with Beautiful Denmark butter cookies for dessert. I’m guessing that the we in the Western World, if we put our minds and wallets to it, could make it a very bright year for Danish firms, even (and especially) in the face of a Middle-East boycott. If anything stops further embassy torching, that’ll be it. So meet you at the Mall!
