Vegas Inc has the details of the amended copyright assignment. This would seem to be an admission that the previous assignment was flawed, which to me should mean they need to return all the settlement money. Also interesting is that the new deal calls for Stevens Media to pay one dollar per year in royalties, with 10 dollars as the repurchase price.
This, of course, begs the question as to exactly how Righthaven can claim damages into the hundreds of thousands of dollars over an interest which is at most a dollar a year, and is valued at ten dollars.
Asked if she had been drinking, the woman told the deputy, “one beer.â€Â The bullet missed the raccoon.
I’m not buying one beer, and I’m guessing the deputy isn’t either. My guess is, based on the story, she gripped the small pistol in a way that her left middle finger was covering the barrel.
You have to be a bold thief to steal from a room full of gun people. Apparently, the exhibition services company retained for the NRA Annual Meeting appears to have found two bold thieves.
Two men working for an exhibition service at the National Rifle Association convention over the weekend were arrested late Sunday for stealing two sets of elk antlers.
According to Pittsburgh police, the antlers were stolen from a vendor’s booth while the operator was waiting to pack up his truck at the loading dock of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. …
The theft was reported about 8:45 p.m. Sunday. Security officers in the area spotted two men on the east side of the convention center walking with the antlers, and they were detained.
Stephen C. Lee, 44, of Cumberland, Md., and Gary C. Felts, 49, of Joppa, Md., are charged with theft and criminal conspiracy, and taken to the Allegheny County Jail.
Both men worked for Brede Exposition Services, of Beltsville, Md.
Antlers. Seriously, how do you even pretend to just walk off with antlers?
I’ve had this link open in the background of my browser for a while now, but I just now got around to really looking at it. I serious wonder if lefty groups have made 4/20 the new April Fool’s Day.

From St. James Peace and Justice Committee:
“We like the idea of guns off the streets and out of closets and harms way of children and others.†Sheriff David Harder, Broome County Sheriff’s Office.
Saturday, May 14th 10am to 1pm St. James Peace & Justice Committee will take working hand guns and long guns (shotguns and rifles). Guns do not have to be registered – all working guns accepted. Live ammunition will also be accepted for safe disposal.
Drop off point is St James rectory parking lot, 147 Main St. Johnson City, NY (west of JC/Binghamton Arch)
As a token exchange, each gun donator will receive a flower basket. Guns will be crushed by the Sheriff’s department as we have witnessed in the past.
If you have a gun you want destroyed but cannot get it to St James, call us and we can have it picked up.
Call Jack at (607) 321 8537
This seems to be a press release of some kind – one that ignores basic rules like commas and apostrophes. It also seems to be opposed to things like structure, periods, and correct capitalization. And I love the mention of what “donators” will receive in exchange for their guns – flowers. I ponder whether it was sent as a joke because there’s little reason for sending an advisory or release nearly a month before an event, and the specific date does have a special meaning.
Righthaven’s motion for extension denied. They have to respond to the defendants motion to dismiss. The federal judge in question, John Kane of the District of Colorado, doesn’t seem very amused with the Righthaven business model. Good.
UPDATE: More here. Any time Righthaven adds clients, I systematically go through the blog and remove links to those sources. Most of them are stale by now anyway. I encourage everyone to do this. Many of these papers are small potatoes, and we have more Google Mojo than they do. By removing the links, they will fail to show up in Google searches, which is the kiss of death for content driven sites.
If there’s order to Bill O’Reilly’s universe, then quantum mechanics would make his head explode, and let’s not even talk about entropy, and what the laws of thermodynamics says is does. If there’s one thing observing and studying the universe, both macroscopically and microscopically, ought to reveal to the faithful, is if there’s order to God’s creation, we do not possess (yet) the mathematical and physical knowledge to comprehend it, and perhaps we weren’t meant to. But beyond that we can explain most of what we see around us.
O’Reilly, on the other hand, seems to have difficulty understanding the things math and science can explain. That certainly doesn’t make him unique among the American population, but most of us aren’t pundits on a popular cable news show. A famous quote of Abraham Lincoln’s comes to mind here. O’Reilly has one purpose, for me at least, and that’s making Glenn Beck seem considerably less annoying in comparison.
Probably should include keeping your guns away from your teenage kids who think they are neo-nazis and have a penchant for aiming pop’s Glock at old Rover. You’ll see what I mean at about 3:35:
