And a czar, too!
Yeah. Somehow, this was funnier in my head. Oh, well.
You can go back to talking coins. I’ve been trying to disentangle copyright issues surrounding currency all day. You’d think I’d be safe putting hundred year old coins on junk, but Zazzle is an absolute pain in the ass on intellectual property issues, so I’m not using anything until I find official statements from the relevant mint first.
Anyhow, in the course of that, I found this interesting article. It claims that, per US case law, you don’t hold copyright on your photo of a coin or painting, provided it’s simply a faithful copy of the original. Huh. I did not know that.
I guess it means when I run out of coins, I can go around the internet pinching other people’s junk.
Pinching people’s junk. That did not come out right.

The seriousness of the oil leak is now obvious. A czar to watch a commission. If this situation was really awful, a blue ribbon panel would have been appointed to watch the commission watch the czar watch the panel watch the commission… Screw it, let’s surf for porn.

Pinching?
I thought our meeting in Boston might lead to such a thing, but alas I was not to be.
Sigh.

and since im not paranoid enough, APPARENTLY some dumbshit governor decided to introduce a bill to give obama the power to shut down the internet http://www.prisonplanet.com/new-bill-gives-obama-kill-switch-to-shut-down-the-internet.html and thus i immigrate to austrailia (where at least the snakes should get me first)

Sounds like something you really should clear with UB beforehand.
As for an Oil Czar, why not? It worked for the Bolshies — they plugged the Romanovs…

Dear Stoatie—I think you have illustrated the situation perfectly. And Allen—pure genius: President Dipstick he is.
