La Deploration Sur la Mort de Ockeghem



Hat tip to AndyG. Story in the StarTribune here.

"Fireworks called Run Hadji Run were pulled off the shelves of a Wisconsin store after Minnesota Muslims complained that they were racist.

The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) said that both the name and the packaging are demeaning. One side of the package has a drawing of Uncle Sam yanking the long beard of a man in traditional Muslim attire, while the other shows a Stealth bomber flying over a group of Arabs riding camels."


It's some little girl's birthday today.

Be safe, people, and stay the fuck out of the hospital.
