Franken wins suit
from cnn story -
NEW YORK (CNN) -- A federal judge, saying, "This is an easy case," Friday ruled against Fox News in its lawsuit asserting that a new book by liberal satirist Al Franken violates their trademarked slogan, "fair and balanced."
Fox was seeking an injunction to halt distribution of Franken's book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right."
U.S. District Judge Denny Chin, after listening to about half an hour of oral arguments, said the lawsuit was "wholly without merit, both factually and legally."
what was left out of the story --
Judge Chin went on to comment "Frankly I'm surprised that the marketing honchos at Fox News failed to recognize that the only likely outcome of this frivilous suit is increased book sales for Mr. Franken. What a bunch of fucking bozos."
Added bonus, here's the cite -- http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/08/22/fo...ken/index.html

You know it's funny, I really wanted to see that quote in there. But my favorite part is this...
For example, one chapter is called "The Chapter on Fox: They Distort, We Deride or We Retort, They Have Lied or They Purport, We Decry or They Are Short, We Have Plied or Smorty Smort, Blort Deblort."
Another chapter focused on O'Reilly is subtitled, "Lying, Splotchy Bully."
Yeah, liklihood of confusion.

That's what I love about those girl scout cookies -- the convenient single-serving sleeves. Why do you have only 1/2 a portion? That's will-power, baby! |

That song that goes "I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you, I know you were right, [something something something] so long . . ." -- is that Gibbs or Air Supply? |

I love your avatar. It makes me think of a medicine cabinet for some reason, and there's nothing better than Hello Kitty on psychotropics.

No worse than PJ who has fucking Barry Manilow running through my head. I've already been taken to task today for singing "at the Copa, Copa Cabana, the hottest spot north of Havanna." Make it stop!!!!!

Oddly this discussion put the following little ditty in my head:
I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid I can't be sure of
A love there is no cure for |
