Sitting backstage at the Apollo Theater in Harlem last Saturday night, the comedian Margaret Cho went through a short but ambitious agenda. Cho planned to perform at two sold-out shows that night and then, the following morning, to be arrested. She had never been arrested.

"It seems like it will be pretty easy," she said brightly. "I am just going to walk down the street toward Madison Square Garden and see how far I get."

In her professional life, Cho has prospered by finding the edge and taking a few steps beyond it. Her transgressiveness derives from who she is -- a bisexual Korean-American -- and what she says. Among other topical political items on Saturday, she compared US First Lady Laura Bush to a bomb-sniffing dog.

3. Why don't you relax...

The poster used the headline of the linked article.

4. That's what the headline says when

you link. Because it's from the Taipei Times.

5. The Title is Too Vague.

More people would read if it said Margaret Cho, since we Duers love her so much.

6. Actually, my reaction was the opposite...

I KNOW Margaret Cho takes shots all the time.

When I clicked on the post, I was sort of "disappointed" to see it was Cho.

I was hoping it was a Nobel winning scientist.

7. The Title Obviously Mislead You.

All the more reason to change it.

2. " bomb-sniffing dog."!

I was looking in the article to see how she came to that observation but I didn't find it. LOL.

But I did see where Margaret Cho says..bush is Not hitler..he could be if he applied himself but he's too lazy.
