Celebrating free speech by banning it

(Warning, this is not from the Onion.)

Citizen Able in the message board passes on this gem:

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia banned broadcast media from an appearance Wednesday where he will receive an award for supporting free speech.

The City Club usually tapes speakers for later broadcast on public television, but Scalia insisted on banning television and radio coverage, the club said. Scalia is being given the organization's Citadel of Free Speech Award.

Irony was already dead. But it's been stomped on. Dragged through the mud. Spit on. Kicked a few times. Kicked a few times more. Doused with gasoline and lit on fire.
