11 dead in French satirical magazine shooting

You can get arrested for cheering?  Not sure I'm too fond of that law.

Its wording is something like: "He who publicly applauds/approves a terrorist action can be fined or jailed for up to two years."

Sigh.

That's kind of vague.

They probably mean gaoled.

Those are pretty good.

Apparently the Charlie Hebdo editor opened today's editorial meeting with, 'so anything in the news this week?'

[Jacob]

I believed it's called 'Damning with faint praise' n'est-ce pas Jake?  Not very flattering, yet rather ironic coming from someone whose trade is a form of art itself...  Still in an era where form trumps content, I suppose I should take it as a compliment.

Your writing is somewhat flowery, but I can appreciate it. It's pretty clear that we're not going to get much out of engaging on the substance, given our relative positions.

Though of course there is a bit of a snarky undertone in as well, and the irony you mention. And in a sense, I am dismissing what you're saying by focusing on the form rather than the content. But nonetheless, I think you should take it as a compliment because your style genuinely is unique and evocative, and I do appreciate that.

You had to go back more than a year to find a quote that could be taken out of context?

That's the thread you first called me "defender of the faithful", since you used the phrase again, and that was the original context, it seemed appropriate.

Thread location doesn't mean anything about context.  My endorsement of Putin's murderous cynicism was obviously less than fully genuine.

Le #GIGN libère sain et sauf l'homme caché depuis le début dans l'imprimerie. Fin de l'assaut.

Who do you guys consider to be the little guy?

Seedy, Katmai, and that other drunk.

  Siegy?

Practically everybody here is the little guy--even the ones that don't think they are, no matter how hard they believe.

A Swedish state radio journalist felt the need to point out that the Charlie victims were not innocent. Sigh.

Unless they are doing this to announce their support of the death penalty via vigilante groups I fail to see how that is relevant.

[Valmy]

Raz has always been one for the popular liberal trends. Never for the little guy.

Who do you guys consider to be the little guy?

Minorities in Missouri.

[Eddie Teach]

I'm probably bigger than Katmai these days.

I'm probably bigger than Katmai these days.

So you ignored the advice of our First Lady?

[Eddie Teach]

I'm not derspiess, I haven't paid any attention to her in the past 6 years.
