"Perhaps after the surgery I'll have around $100,000 dollars of debt, but hey, wouldn't you pay that to save your own life?"

Yes, but no one should have to make that sort of choice.

I did say that I wasn't going to go on about the stupid cartoons, but in case you still thought that this was about equal-opportunity freedom of speech blah-de-blah, it appears that Jyllands-Posten has a double standard. (Via springheel_jack and my overloaded inbox.)

In related news, just because the other kid started it doesn't mean that you get to be a moron, too.

And finally, good news: IWW Toronto is now officially a branch. Go us!
