KNOW ANY GOOD LAWYERS?

Oops, better not make any more defamatory references to the Religion of Pieces, whoops, I MEANT to say the Religion of Peace and Love - Islam.

Yes, concerned about what they see as a rise in the defamation of Islam, leaders of the world's Muslim nations are considering taking legal action against those that slight their religion or its sacred symbols. It was a key issue during a two-day summit that ended Friday in this western Africa capital. The Muslim leaders are attempting to demand redress from nations like Denmark, which allowed the publication of cartoons portraying the Prophet Muhammad in 2006 and again last month, to the fury of the Muslim world. Though the legal measures being considered have not been spelled out, the idea pits many Muslims against principles of freedom of speech enshrined in the constitutions of numerous Western governments.

"I don't think freedom of expression should mean freedom from blasphemy," said Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade, the chairman of the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference. "There can be no freedom without limits."

Yes, and there can be no peace with Islam! Take a hike, pal, and bring on the lawyers.

Hollywood's Closet Republicans

It's nice to see such tolerance and diversity from those who lecture us about tolerance and diversity.

Sure, you've probably heard there are a few actors who dare to come out of the closet, but nothing quite sums up the oppressive liberal mindset like this:

"They learn very quickly, if they know what's good for them, to donate to the Democratic Party," said Andrew Breitbart, co-author of "Hollywood, Interrupted." "If they were to donate to the Republican Party, they would be exposed to career-ending ridicule, period."

Still, there's hope.

Mr. Breitbart noted that seven anti-war films recently have bombed at the box office, and said optimistically that Hollywood conservatives may speak up more this election cycle.

"A lot of these people really believe that we're at crossroads, whether or not we're going to be aggressively taking on ascendant radical Islam," he said. "At that point, you'll see a lot of people come out of the closet."
