Guitar instruction sites shut down by music industry | The Register
More on tightening control on any kind of information. Tis somewhat like the asshat that got the copyright to the song “Happy Birthday”. Now nobody can sing or play it without paying through the nose. Soon nobody will be able to type or speak without paying for each word uttered.
Personally I want to copyright the words “a, an, and, as, is, was, the, and idiot”. I figure with an income of 1 to 2 cents for each utterence or typing of the above I can have a rather large income in just a few days.
If that doesn’t make sense, well this crap the NMPA and MPA is doing ain’t exactly right either. They “say” they give a bit of each royalty payment to the song writers. I bet they do, just like the RIAA and MPAA give a bit of the royaltys to the artists and writers/actors. Sure they don’t. They use it to keep themselves in these do nothing jobs at redictulous salarys. And lets not forget the amount they pay the lawyers to issue the takedown notices… 🙁
Techdirt: What If You Had An Online Bulls**t Detector As A Browser Plugin?
Considering how LITTLE I beleve that comes from the government now, there is NO WAY I am going to use or accept the word of any software that they build that tries to tell me what is true and what it bull. I may be in the minority here but tis the way I feel about our liers in power.
Update – My bad. This is about the the Jap. Gov. and not the good ol US of Idiots. I still wouldn’t beleive anything that ANY governerment sponsered software tried to tell me about what is true or not.
CNN.com – Oops: Impostor scams Louisiana officials – Aug 28, 2006
The only “sick” thing in this article is that HUD and the US government is forcing folks out of homes that are livable because they are poor.

The Blog | Walter C. Uhler: Crackpot Christianity: Part Two | The Huffington Post
Whole lotta info here. Haven’t seen the POS Darwin’s Deadly Legacy and don’t want to after reading this piece. I’ve been convinced for several years that (figurehead) Bush and (handlers) crew have been and are trying to bring about a Christian controlled US of A so that they can go out and kill all of the infidels. And line their own pockets in the process. More fuel, bigger fire.
Go, read, get more pissed off…

He’s my kind of guy. But the Portsmouth police are apparently a bunch of idiots.

Capitol Hill Blue: The Oldest Political News Site on the Internet
They may be the oldest but without a usable RSS feed they have gone off my radar. Their site quit working in my feedreader a while back but just now got around to looking to see where the rss.xml feed went and it doesn’t appear to be available any more. There is a link that will let me subscribe to the daily email list but that’s not the way I get my news any more. So I guess I won’t be reading Capitol Hill Blue any more unless another site links to it. 🙁
tulsaworld.com: News – Inhofe optimistic on Iraq
I wonder what color the sky is in his world? I ask this because from his remarks in this article he certainly doesn’t live in the same world I and most of the rest humanity live in. Does he actually expect anyone with an internet connection to believe this crap? Of course the speech was made in Tulsa so maybe they don’t have the internet there.
Wired News: DIY Nuke Detector Patrols SF Bay
Once again, the basement/garage operation beats out the multi-billion dollar government research folks.
Dept. of Homeland Security seems to just LOVE these big over priced programs that they can farm out to their buddies.

No, but all these people that claim to be “doing God’s will” are ALL idiots!
The Blog | David Sirota: The Beltway’s Fear and Loathing of Democracy | The Huffington Post
You can tell how much Washington, D.C. is panicking by the rise of grassroots politics by looking at the now weekly declarations by politicians and pundits that they actually hate democracy. That’s hyperbole, you say? Just take a look at a few comments that have come from the upper echelons of the political/media establishment – comments that finally admit to us how those who purport to legislate and report in our name really in their gut despise American democracy.

Who would have thunk it? Well I for one but it’s gratifying to see that the press is finally catching on just how bad the current batch is…

Keene Free Press – Homeland Security nabs Free Stater from home
This is totally unacceptable behavior on the part of the Feds if this was still a free society. However since it’s not anymore I guess this type of crap will become more common.

Would be much funnier if it wasn’t so true. But is funny none the less. 😉
