"The trouble with the English is that their history happened overseas, so they don't know what it means." Salman Rushdie, from SATANIC VERSES. Pull through, Mr Rushdie, please. And write a few more pithy and devastating lines like that. I'm old enough to remember that novel and the fuss over it. Rushdie is on the side of the angels. His attacker is just another demon. One of a large interchangeable lot. The above image is of how the state sponsored newspaper in Iran is covering the story of the attack on Rushdie. Stay classy, San Diego.
