"Slightly more details" including the bank fraud and money laundering charges.  Pretty legit crimes.

Yeah, I don't really have a problem when there's a warrant.

It's still stupid from a technical perspective, though.  Oh no, now people are going to have to enter the IP address to get to the site!

Democrats mess up the Republicans and cause chaos by opting to vote "Present" instead of "No"

Apparently the only way to win is not to play at all.... :lol:

I'd say "playing" is exactly what went on here.  But good on them for stopping the Ryan budget.

"Gambling? We don't do gambling, we... uh... sell golf balls!"

Oooh, I'm sorry, the correct response was "I am shocked, SHOCKED to find that gambling is going on in here!"

Dems are getting a pretty bad reputation for fucking around with the voting process too much, but it's still kind of funny to see the conservatives fall into a screaming panic in fear that they might have to own up to some of the shit they're pushing for.

Anything that makes the floor of the House more confrontational is a move in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. Stop being so fucking polite and throw a chair or something.

Wasn't the Ryan budget, it was effectively the Tea Party budget that the Republicans tolerated coming to a vote because they knew it'd get voted down and they could then present the Ryan one as 'middle ground'. But then the Democrats let it slide and the Republicans had to backpedal and vote against this second budget plan because if it'd passed it would've superceded the Ryan one.

Re: Poker sites.

Well, I did say that it was certainly possible the charges were 100% legit. That has now been confirmed

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Oh so THAT'S how it'll happen? I should've guessed it'd be disguised as a financial thing.

Haha. Okay, joking. I'm sure the outright dismissal of government entirely will be overturned in court, even if it has to go to SCOTUS.

Well, half joking.














Right guys?

Mongrel actually this is all constitutional. Nothing out of line.

Yeah. Fuck this gay earth.

These critics may have a political point. But they have no legal argument. There is no constitutional right to local self-government in the United States. In 1907, the Supreme Court decided, in Hunter v. Pittsburgh, that under the Constitution local governments are nothing more than "convenient agencies for exercising … such powers as may be entrusted to them" by the state. As a result, "the state may modify or withdraw all such power, may take without compensation such property, hold it for itself, or vest it with other agencies, expand or contract the territorial area, unite the whole or part of it with another municipality, repeal the charter and destroy the corporation … with or without the consent of the citizens, or even against their protest."

Well, again, there was a warrant in this particular instance of domain seizure.

If, however, the US government DOES go after somebody without a warrant, and the person decides to fight it, it's likely to be overturned.

The thing Smiler brought up is a separate issue, though, and per the opinion he quoted sounds like it's legal.

Again, it's fine to not have representation as long as you're not being taxed.

Orange County GOP official Marilyn Davenport stays her ground on image of Obama sired by apes.

Quote
Davenport sent an email over the weekend to fellow party members in which Mr. Obama's head is pasted on the body of a baby ape. The image also depicts two adult apes wearing human clothing - presumably referencing Mr. Obama's parents. "Now you know why no birth certificate," the accompanying text reads.

Quote
"I simply found it amusing regarding the character of Obama and all the questions surrounding his origin of birth," she wrote in an email. "In no way did I even consider the fact he's half black when I sent out the email."

"In fact, the thought never entered my mind until one or two other people tried to make this about race," she added. "I received plenty of emails about [former president] George Bush that I didn't particularly like yet there was no 'cry' in the media about them."

Oddly, with his ears so broadly fanned he looks disturbingly like W.

Hm.

First question is, can he prove he really wrote it?

Second is, is it really copyrightable?  It sounds like a pretty common trumpet fanfare to me.  With "CHARGE!" tacked on the end of it.

And assuming he really DOES own the copyright, isn't his beef with the company that licensed it, not the sports teams that use it?

Finally and most importantly, can he sue Hanna Barbera for Scrappy-Doo?

Well, I'm not 100% sure of any of those, but it is worth pointing out that there's a link in the article I posted, with more details. In the linked page it says he was granted full copyright for the song in 1980. That seems to answer the first question at least?
