Snapped Shot Blog Shut Down
Brian Ledbetter’s Snapped Shot blog has been shut down because the AP (Associated Press) sent him a cease and desist order.
Those who read my blog will know Brian because his blog is where I get many of the images I use for fauxtoshopping my anti-jihad sentiments. Brian is the tits, and Snapped Shot is tits-up right now, so if anyone knows a way to help him fight the bogus allegations from the AP, please contact him at brian.ledbetter@gmail.com.
Bigger blogs are helping him out, but every voice (even my squeaky, tiny blog-voice) should be heard. Speak up for Brian on your blog!

I told Brian to contact Ezra Levant to see if he had any U.S. contacts for lawyers, since Ezra has started — or is thinking about starting — a blogger legal defense fund in Canada. Hopefully Brian’ll get some good info from Ezra.
Kick ass, Brian!
Brian has our support. Meanwhile, if he wants to do some guest blogging, he is most welcome on the Winds of Jihad site…
Sheik Yer’Mami, I’ll be sure to tell him, and thanks for your support!
