   Right.   
      
   Did you all see Jon Stewart's take on this last night?  He expressed his   
   indignation where it really belongs: at the Muslim extremists who made   
   the threats in the first place.  The threat didn't come from a desert in   
   the Middle East, it came from a group that operates out of NYC.  They're   
   living here, taking advantage of our freedoms, and then throwing stones   
   at us for exercising those freedoms.   
      
   CC is a business first, an artistic endeavor second (if even that high),   
   so making political statements will necessarily come second to business   
   and personnel interests.  There have to be limits to the size of their   
   balls.
