thurs., 8 jan., 2015, & fri., 9 jan., 2015: french courage, for fucking real, man, ii.: give us This Day our Daily Curse


FRENCH:  Votez con vous n’avez pas la choix.  

   ‡ )   Vote arsehole, because you have no other choice...  /  Vote arsehole, because you have no other choice...  [Literally, “Vote Cunt, because you have no other choice...”]  A vintage caption & headline fr. the fearless French satiric magazine Charlie Hebdo, circa 1971.  The publishers of  Charlie Hebdo have always been equal opportunity offenders, esp. in matters of religion, sex & politics.  Several yrs back they declared that a certain Prophet of the Books would be guest editor; for that their offices were firebombed. & the French constantly had 2 police on the premises. Apparently, ISIS sent 3 avengers who killed 10 people at the offices yesterday (including 2 French policemen). The assassins proclaimed the usual inane tautologies, “Allah is great,” und so weiter. The editor, holding up a magazine with an offending cartoon had said that he’d never self-censor, that he’d rather die with his head held high than live on his knees. US editors & “news” outlets have couragously cropped the photo so that no one can get a context. Thus is life in the Moronic Inferno. NOTE: An Islamic scholar on Wed. night pointed out that the Prophet was insulted many times, & did not retaliate by pronouncing a fatwah or death sentence upon the person.
