Nutjobs Ranting About Politics.

Anyway, this race is over. It was really over before it began, once nobody in the Democratic leadership complained about the moveon stuff and the intense questioning over Bush's nat'l guard service. Even if you didn't know (at the time) that Kerry would end up as your nominee, you were handicapping him later.


Hello

2. What’s of note here is that the last time JFKerry's had a serious press interview was way back on August 1. Almost a month ago. Coinciding with his radio silence is the fact that the Swifties ran their first ad pointing out his lies and hypocrisy on August 4th.

The question now becomes how long this frog-loving traitor can fly under the radar screen with out his poll numbers falling off the chart. On the opposite hand, given his arrogant elitist slob mannerisms perhaps he is trying to give himself the bump his convention couldn’t by staying invisible. Either way, as Hello points out, it doesn’t matter. This game is all but over, Kerry is circling the toilet bowel as I type.

Meanwhile the "bounce" to Bush from the GOP convention is palpable at this point. The idiot wing of the leftist coalition and their leaders like J.Jackson and M,Moore will no longer be able to stridently whine that “Anyone But Bush”. After this week W will have made his case for 4 more years and then the Dimwits will have to run against a record of leadership with a candidate of lies and traitorous manipulations during the Vietnam War and a Senate record of scant accomplishment.

More fuel for the commie red fires of Kerry’s treason from the National Review:

As John Kerry gets ready to speak to the American Legion on Sept. 1, during the GOP Convention, it is worth recalling some of his earlier comments on that esteemed organization:
We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the "greater glory of the United States." We will not accept the rhetoric. We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars-in fact, we will find it hard to join anything at all and when we do, we will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been unable to provide. We will not take solace from the creation of monuments or the naming of parks after a select few of the thousands of dead Americans and Vietnamese. We will not uphold traditions which decorously memorialize that which was base and grim. It is from these things the New Soldier is asking America to turn. We are asking America to turn from false glory, hollow victory, fabricated foreign threats, fear which threatens us as a nation, shallow pride which feeds off fear, and mostly from the promises which have proven so deceiving these past ten years.

Those comments came in the epilogue to "The New Soldier," the book put out by Vietnam Veterans against the War. The book's cover features a group of not-particularly sober-looking antiwar protesters (vets, presumably) flying the American flag upside down, with the hygene associated with the protesters in New York City right now.

Not at the moment we don't. We let you fill in for Bilmore, so STFU.

Mummified Canadian goes undiscovered for two years.

Ever notice how this sort of thing happens regularly in Germany or Canada, but never in the U.S. of A.? I think telemarketing scammers are a valuable lifeline to our senior citizens, jarring them awake when they're about the flatline every night.

I, for my part, will be cancelling direct deposit and automatic bill payment. You never know.

Now I feel stupid. I didn't even read that one - I just assumed it was about Paul Martin.

It took over a year, but thanks for finally busting the sock, Patentgreedy.

I was going to say that this decides the whole gender issue. I'd believe female patent litigator, but I'd be be pretty surprised by any registered patent attorney with implants.

Oh, I understand. Completely. But still, it's like that moment when you look down and think to yourself for the first time "wow, pocket protectors really are good for your shirts."

Something like my recent experience, as I was reading a free copy of the Wall Street Journal, and I mused "You know, this really is a pretty good paper."

Like the first time you think "ooo, cool minivan!"?

Either that, or we're talking about a female registered patent attorney who represents DuPont and felt compelled to show devotion to the client.

Regardless, the field continues to narrow, no?

Actually, I'm making a comment about the short-sightedness of many tech companies (in which you claim to be so well versed) from their failure to register.

My point was in regards to your position re: registration. While you have to register your copyright if the country of origin of the work is the US in order to sue for infringement, you don't have to register before the defendant's infringing act. You can register after you find out about the infringement and then still be able to sue for infringement. Now if you don't follow the provisions of section 412, you will lose your ability to get attorneys fees or statutory damages. But you can still get your actual damages.

For a start up with limited to fees to pay attorneys, they may be better off waiting to register until there is infringement. It just depends on how much money they have to pay lawyers. Some don't have much and what they do have is better spent on non-disclosure agreements to protect trade secrets or patents.

Yes, it's been an effective pincer movement, like the one that eventually permitted Rommel to break through the Maginot Line to kill Archduke Franz Ferdinand and defeat the Australian-Hungary Empire.

If this doesn't get us Ty back, nothing will.

Your guy had his first heart attack at age 37 and has been legally dead since 1978, and you pin the zombie label on our guy?

My implants look natural. If you were ever lucky enough to meet me IRL, you would not know I have implants. They aren't big huge fake looking ones.

See people only think the ones that are obviously fake are implants. Good examples are Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox. Both have small natural looking implants. Many people erroneously think that they don't have implants because they don't have huge fake looking implants. Not all implants are large and not all are fake looking.

Um, yeah. Hence the "short-sightedness" comment.

I'm saying much the same thing as you, though I haven't gone through the effort of excerpting a chapter of Nimmer to say it. Does this approach work when you employ it at cocktail parties?
