Head for the panic room!

January 3, 2010

Ever hear of one of these things? Jodie Foster was in a movie about one titled, aptly, “Panic Room”. I had heard that Maynard James Keenan from one of the best live bands in the world, TOOL, was suppose to costar in it but passed on the offer. The country great Dwight Yoakam took the part instead and did a damn fine job.

So all of Islam, or at least the really radical parts of it, is mad as can be at the Dutch for putting out cartoons a few years back and sends waves of Samali assassins to behead, via axe, the artist(s) at the newspapers who drew a non-questionable caricature of he-who-we-cannot-name (*cough* the Prophet Muhammad) out of fear of our own heads turning up missing, and no it isn’t Voldemort of Harry Potter fame that I’m speaking of here.

So this poor artist, a Kurt Westergaard, is hanging out with his 5-year-old granddaughter at his home and hears a window break, hits an alarm and hightails it for the panic room, a bathroom in his home converted into a mini-fortress in case such a unsavory event as this were to ever occur, leaving the aforementioned granddaughter out in the open with the intruder, who was eventually shot by the police and survived. Later on the artist said that he “knew” the intruder wouldn’t hurt her. How in the world would he have known that? He’s just lucky the religious nut didn’t take her head instead. He, his wife, and the rest of the cartoonists remain lambs on the run for the rest of their lives, or until someone misplaces their heads. And that there folks is no shit!
