Rall v. Coulter: No Pledges Needed, for Now
Thanks to hundreds of generous pledgers we now have enough money committed to launching a slander and libel suit against Coulter for her remarks falsely claiming that I had entered Iran’s Holocaust cartoon contest.
Now I’m working with my lawyers on minutiae and legal research to make sure that those funds are used wisely.
I will be in touch all the pledgers next week. Of course, should this move forward, I will rely upon those of you who have not contributed to keep the lawsuit going all the way to the end. As for now, however, we probably have enough to get started.
Have a great weekend, and don’t forget to listen to the Ted Rall Show on 1069freefm.com this Sunday from 10 am to 12 noon Pacific time!
Condi Ramone!
Is Condi Rice about to make a career change to punk rock? If her new hair style (click on the photo to enlarge) is any judge, America’s biggest reason to hurl all over the morning paper is jonesing to replace Joey, Johnny or some other dearly departed ember of the fabulous Ramones. Hey, ho, let’s go!
ATTITUDE 3: THE NEW SUBVERSIVE ONLINE CARTOONISTS
The third volume in the ATTITUDE collection goes to the printer next week, so now’s the time to place your advance order. Everyone who has had a sneak peak at this anthology of cartoons by and interviews with 21 of America’s funniest webcomics creators says they’re knocked out by the breadth of creativity reflected in these pages.
You can advance order ATTITUDE 3 now.
More Pledges, Please
I already do radio but I’m almost ready to to NPR what with all this pleading for cash.
Seriously, though, the Sue Ann Coulter Pledge Drive is kicking serious ass. We’re over $21,000! In other words, we’re almost there–but we need more to do this job right. If standing up against slander and libel by right-wing nutjobs doesn’t make you pry open your wallet, consider the look on Coulter’s face when she meets my process server!
Wednesday Night in NYC: Ted Rall & Stephanie McMillan
I’ll be joining cartoonist Stephanie McMillan (her book, “Minimum Security”, is part of the “Attitude” series that I edit) to sign our books at the Barnes & Noble on Sixth Avenue at West 8th Street in Manhattan tomorrow night, starting at 7. There will be a talk and Q&A beforehand, and we hope to see you there!
Directions: A B C D E F subway to West 4th Street, 1 9 to Christopher Street, PATH from NJ to 9th Street.
Coulter!
It’s the start of a brand-new week–and as the Incredible Hulk might say, it may just be NEOCON CLOBBERIN’ TIME! Pledges total $19,712 and if they keep coming in, we’ll be able to do this thing. I’m waiting by my in box so if you’re so moved to hold her accountable and draw a line in the sand between protected free speech and slander, please pledge at chet@rall.com.
