Spanish cartoon prompts legal ban

A Spanish satirical magazine has been ordered off newsstands because the cover of its latest edition featured a cartoon depicting the heir to Spain's throne having sex with his wife.

Gus: sometimes bad taste in cartooning is essential to attract attention. It also reflects on the cartoonist crooked twisted crude deranged mind, but so be it... The cartoon above is in bad taste too... but I exercised some restraints compared to the cartoon by one of the leading cartoonist in Australia on the occasion of the first presidential colonoscopy on Bushit in 2002... I don't remember if it ever got published: As the president butt is exposed on the operating table, one doctor holds a small John Howard in his hands, while saying "That all we found in there..." or something to that effect. Lovely.

As U.S. Rebuilds, Iraq Won’t Act on Finished Work

Iraq’s national government is refusing to take possession of thousands of American-financed reconstruction projects, forcing the United States either to hand them over to local Iraqis, who often lack the proper training and resources to keep the projects running, or commit new money to an effort that has already consumed billions of taxpayer dollars.

The conclusions, detailed in a report released Friday by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, a federal oversight agency, include the finding that of 2,797 completed projects costing $5.8 billion, Iraq’s national government had, by the spring of this year, accepted only 435 projects valued at $501 million. Few transfers to Iraqi national government control have taken place since the current Iraqi government, which is frequently criticized for inaction on matters relating to the American intervention, took office in 2006.

The United States often promotes the number of rebuilding projects, like power plants and hospitals, that have been completed in Iraq, citing them as signs of progress in a nation otherwise fraught with violence and political stalemate. But closer examination by the inspector general’s office, headed by Stuart W. Bowen Jr., has found that a number of individual projects are crumbling, abandoned or otherwise inoperative only months after the United States declared that they had been successfully completed. The United States always intended to hand over projects to the Iraqi government when they were completed.

So: Saying that Haiti and African countries are shitholes, unlike Norway, and claiming that Nigerians live in huts and that Haitians have AIDS and that Afghans are terrorists - and, for that matter, that Mexican immigrants are criminals and that black Americans live in the crime-ridden inner cities and that Muslims are too dangerous to allow into the country?

Those are racist statements.
