Ezra Levant is a conservative Canadian commentator and former publisher of the magazine the Western Standard. Two years ago his magazine published the Danish cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Mohammad. Predictably, this exercise of Free Speech was met by complaints from radical Muslims. However, unlike the United States (so far) in Canada they have taxpayer-funded [...]

I finally bought the DVD of the documentary Fuck, (previously mentioned here) which I thoroughly enjoyed and which I think any serious advocate of free speech should see.
Incidentally, Bill Plympton provides interstitial animation throughout the film and contributes an interview to the DVD’s supplemental features. Seeing his work again brought back fond memories of seeing [...]

Yes, April 20 is National Smoke Marijuana Day.

But I have never used Cannabis, and I don’t intend to start. In fact, my personal recreational drug use has been limited to a beer or two a year, and a recent stint with caffeine-laced energy drinks.
All drugs, whether intended for recreational or medical purposes, carry risks that [...]

As an Apple fanatic who watches every Steve Jobs keynote, I have every right to be offended by this.
Good thing I don’t offend easily.
Oh, and it’s funny as hell.

Before Afghanistan.
Before Iraq.
I think it is important to remember how we all felt then and for me this sums it up.

Watching the over 40 years spanned by the history this [...]

Oh fuck. Let’s just get this out of the way. You’ll find no f-word, f*ck, f–k, @$!%, or other sanitized version used here. This is quite a change from Professor Allen Walker Read’s 1934 scholarly treatment of the word, An Obscenity Symbol—fifteen pages and eighty-two footnotes penned without once printing the word fuck anywhere in [...]
