When you walk into a job knowing one of your predecessors was fired for standing up to the boss about editorial content of dubious taste, you shouldn't act all shocked when you're also bent over and asked to take it like a good little bitch. What I'm talking about is the NY Press editorial staff's big brave walkout over the publisher's decision not to run the Danish cartoon that has the Muslim community's panties in such a bunch.
Not that I really care about the whys of their departure (my guess is they would've been fired soon anyway), I just wanted to make it clear that I'm the kind of small, petty person who gets a certain amount of satisfaction knowing that Harry Siegel and his flunkies are outta work.
Can't we just ship the Christian Right and these Islamic Fundies to some planet and have them duke it out like Capt. Kirk and Lizard Man?
