What’s gnu?

1. So. Some possibly ISIS inspired Islamic fellows decided freedom of speech isn’t for them and attacked a group who purposely insulted their religion (which reminds me, if you can’t depict Mohammed with pictures why it both a common name and people with that name have pictures taken and published). Be that as it may, the usual suspects some out with remarks.
   1. A liberal commentator invites the attacked groups leader and declares her interview to be filled with hate. Except alas, said hate is nowhere to be seen. Methinks the accuser self-labels himself as that which he accuses.
   2. A cartoon in response.
   3. And a column on freedom of speech (in which said cartoon was first seen).
   4. more here.
   5. The liberal response in a nutshell. (apparently … you can recall their not-similar reaction to, say, “piss Christ”)
   6. Is this related or not?
2. Grist for the Indiana bakery discussion.
3. An interesting division by sex in the motives of serial killers.
4. A suggestion of a famous art piece’s interpretation.
5. Loss of credibility has consequences.
6. Journalistic malpractice on display.
7. The fine print on Obama/Kerry’s Iran centrifuge deal.
8. A very cool time-lapse sequence.
