It seems unlikely that Barry Blitt will have to do a Rushdie and skulk around in a false beard, etc. Then too, Mohammed has been venerated by a lot more people for a lot longer than Obama, and he will still be venerated when Obama is universally execrated -- about six months after his inauguration, I'm betting. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
