Lawsuit of Rick Raymen and Steve Hansen versus USA Next and Mark Montini International
USA Next, creators of that hateful anti-AARP ad, are getting their asses for libel and right to copy infringement. Nice to see right to copy used by the little guy (who it was originally intended for) for once.

Why if everyone agrees...
Instapundit.com -
That the current bankruptcy reform bill is odious is it gonna pass? The entire blogsphere from the creepy freepis to the atrios lefties (that'd be me) agree that this thing is a give away to the credit card industry. I've agreed with Instapundit about once in my life, but he's right on on this one.
BANKRUPTCY "REFORM:" I'm deeply skeptical of the bankruptcy bill in front of Congress now, and this report on credit-card industry practices goes a long way toward explaining why. Credit extended to people who can't handle it, absurd hidden fees, high interest rates, etc.: There's a lot of scamming here. The argument, of course, is that people who sign up for credit card accounts ought to know what they're getting into. But shouldn't the companies that extend credit to people who obviously can't handle it be held to the same standard?

Dream date makes for unusual flick
At some point in our lives, we all dream of dating a movie star. Most of us are content with keeping these fantasies to ourselves - but not Brian Herzlinger.
The Cherokee High School grad made it his mission to land a date with his celebrity crush since second grade, Drew Barrymore. Armed with $1,100 and a video camera that needed to be returned before the 30-day exchange policy expired, Herzlinger and his friends managed to put together an award-winning documentary, My Date with Drew.
See for yourself whether Herzlinger makes his life's dream a reality at a screening of the film at 2 p.m. Sunday at the AMC Marlton 8 Theatre, 800 N. Route 73, Marlton - the very theater that employed Herzlinger in the early '90s. After the private viewing, join some of the film participants at a reception at the Regency Palace, 555 Fellowship Road, Mount Laurel.
Tickets are $125 and the reception includes hors d'oeuvres, light buffet supper and cash bar. Proceeds benefit the Alzheimer's Association Delaware Valley Chapter, on behalf of the Bam Charitable Foundation Inc. RSVP to Vincent D'Elia at (856) 797-9777.
Great Political Speeches
The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln:
Think about that in the terms of what they were standing on. Just over five months earlier 50,000 soldiers lay on that field of battle dead or wounded. 30% of those who participated were killed or injured. Now go back and read that again without tearing up. Yeah I didn't think you could. I sure as hell can't.
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Think about that in the terms of what they were standing on. Just over five months earlier 50,000 soldiers lay on that field of battle dead or wounded. 30% of those who participated were killed or injured. Now go back and read that again without tearing up.

Best take I've seen on Thompson's "suicide"
Fafblog! the whole worlds only source for Fafblog.:
"HUNTER THOMPSON IS NOT DEAD.
Don't believe their filthy lies. Giblets saw the Good Doctor with his own two eyes just a few hours ago, heading north in the White Whale. He said he was headed up to heaven to shoot God. 'The great bastard's in season and it's long overdue,' the Godfather of Gonzo said as he dusted off his elephant gun. 'I have full reason to believe they will award me both the head and the tail. Expect me back by the apocalypse.' Good hunting, Doctor Thompson. You'll be missed.

Words you can't put on a jersey from NFL.com
"Gay" a Naughty Word for NFL Shop -- Outsports.com:
Most of them are fairly obvious like PORNKING and REAR ENTRY, but then we come to the one man listed "RAE CARRUTH" cannot be put on a jersey.

$3 Million Dollars to save Star Trek Enterprise?
SaveEnterprise.com - We are making a difference, a note by Tim
By the way, there's still no cure for cancer. Their argument seems to be two fold 1) Star Trek inspires (fair enough) and 2) Without Star Trek we'd all be home watching crappy reality TV.
Bullshit. Do you what I do. Don't get cable. Don't get satellite. Turn the fucker off. (I keep it around for the PS2 that sits unused next to it.)
TrekUnited.com today announced that three anonymous contributors have stepped forward with a $3 million pledge toward the campaign to ensure a fifth season for the recently cancelled Star Trek: Enterprise.

Classic Farkline
Drew Curtis' FARK.com: "'Mac Daddy' Jef Raskin dies at 61. 'It was as if a million Macintoshes suddenly cried out in sadness, but were suddenly silenced by an AppleTalk error'"
Damn
I stupidly switched to Haloscan without reading the fine print and I seem to have dumped all the old comments. Crap. Well we'll just have to start again. On the plus side I can now do trackbacks.

The torture chickens are coming home to roost. As a commenter on LSF said
"the fights over discovery should be fun. Get ready for lots of claims of “secret” evidence, “secret” administrative rules and witnesses being unavailable for “security” reasons.
The Right are going after defense and civil lawyers so hard because they are the last brake on their voracious greed and power mongering.
