Music Label's Copyright Argument is RubbishBy David Kravets April 11, 2008 | 3:24:55 PM Tossing it like a Frisbee is OK. The kids, cat and dog scratching the hell out of it is just fine. But throwing away that CD is copyright infringement. According to UMG Recordings, that's true insofar as the label's promotional CDs are concerned: those thousands of unaccounted for discs the label mails out

Spitzer Resigns - It's Time to Impeach Bush Today Gov. Eliot Spitzer apologized again to the people of New York for his personal failings and resigned, just 16 months after winning an historic landslide election with 70% of the vote. But Spitzer's resignation was not entirely voluntary, because Republican leaders were busy drafting Articles of Impeachment. What was Spitzer's impeachable

The punch line is probably the best part. [Federal Judge Robert] Somma worked in private practice for years in Boston before he was appointed to the bench by President Bush in December 2004. Yes, the fact that

Last night on "Countdown," Keith Olbermann slammed Bill "the liar" O'Reilly for saying on his radio show, "I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence." In an ironic twist, Olbermann used the words of President Bush — who just last week said, "Some Americans do not understand the effect that references to nooses and lynching can still have" — to

Expert HijackerThe HIV virus, pictured in this artist's illustration, is on its face a simple virus, consisting of just nine genes. Yet it makes up for that bare-bones structure in a sinister and complex way: Because it makes only a handful of its own proteins, it literally must take over the cellular machinery of its victims so it can multiply and then destroy.   HIV's Prey: Protein List

From Doug and Jay at AmateurStraightGuys: "We received a letter the other day that was a bit out of the ordinary for us. This particular letter was from a long-time fan of ours who simply had no where else to turn. It seems that Michael (his name) suffers from Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. At first we were a bit skeptical but his appeal for our help and assistance seemed so genuine, so

I really, really have been trying to ignore all of the hate-filled emails I get from Don Wildmon at the AFA, otherwise known as the "American Family Association". But the one I received tonight, I can't ignore. I can't figure out why these hateful people can't move on to another method to raise money, and stop using GLBT people as sacrificial lambs.
