Cartoon Printed in UWM "Badger Herald"

    Looks like the Badger Herald (UW Madison) printed the Muhamad Cartoon:

    What I found interesting was that the local Fox 6 (Wisconsin) news ran the story but edited out the image when they showed the paper. WTF? So much for the "Fox" conspiracy. Normally, as you know I would not be watching Fox, but had to go home early today to watch my kid and my Mother-In-Law happened to have the local station on to see the weather.

    Way to go UWM. The Chancelor actually had the balls to defend the printing. Looks like Freedom of Speech is alive and well in WI.

    Muslim student body is in outrage (all 2).. But there were no reported riots. Not sure if the student union has a KFC. Stay tuned!

    Glad to see more sites having the balls to show it instead of bowing down to the fanatics.

    That was the point of the story... That is why it is being defended. I suggest reading it... It's a good story!
