It's hard to explain the French weekly publication Charlie Hebdo to someone who has not lived in France and seen its irreverent cartoon front pages over a period of time. A kind of National Lampoon on steroids (or a fusing of Mad Magazine and Newsweek) with funny and often vulgar headlines. Always thought provoking. And always an equal opportunity purveyor of political satire. Their chief target has always been hubris and moral and intellectual intolerance. Popes, presidents, left, right, movie stars, Jews, Christians and Muslims have graced its covers. Now an apparent radical Muslim attack on its headquarters in Paris has killed a dozen and among them Wolinski and Cabu, wonderful brilliant cartoonists and delightfully libidinous old men. Great sadness at this attack on freedom of speech and loss of life. And a lesson that our accepted freedoms still come with a price. My heart bleeds for the victims and all who will miss them.
