What Happened to Intellectual Integrity?
Well, maybe there never was any. But I'm so disappointed at Yale University Press for removing all images that reference Muhammad from its forthcoming book, "The Cartoons That Shook the World." Is the Western world -- and a prestigious university -- no less -- so intimidated by the Islamic extremists? If so, we've lost our freedom to them. I can only imagine how the author, Jytte Klausen, must feel.

'since watching the MJ memorial service, I've been obssessing over Michael Jackson. As the white (Jewish) parent of two non-white children. I'm probably overly conscious of race. 'seems like Michael created his own "post-racial" identity/reality, but I wonder about his white children -- who biologically are almost certainly not his. I'd never seen or thought about his children before. My Google search brought this article my way -- interesting.
