Reply to McSame Campaign Commits Plagarism in Republican JoeUser Forums

Considering recipes can't be copyrighted, I don't see it as much of a big deal. (Yes, individual recipes are specifically excluded under copyright law.) They should keep better track of what's on their website and what claims are made about it, though. If they present something as someone's favorite recipes, they should be just that. It shouldn't matter if the recipes happen to have originated elsewhere, as long as they're really the person's favorite recipes (which these apparen

She was assigned or elected (however it works in that particular state) to go to the convention as a delegate who will cast a vote for the party nominee. [quote]Obama camp is offended when so

You gotta love minority on minority political correctness. What really bothers me about this story is the fact she was ticketed for this.

And, by the way, how about calling the police because you

Something kin of like Angel, the series I was addicted to, (along with Buffy),[/quote] I didn't bother with New Amsterdam since, even sans vampirism, it sounded like a rip-off of Moonlight (which sounded like a rip-off of Angel, but I gave it a chance anyway), right down to the love of his life bit and wanting to be mortal.

[quote]Would you stand by a cheater?[/quote] I would have said no, but that's not what I did. (I've never been married, but I have been cheated on.) When it came down to it, I just wanted to work things out and move forward. As for the public humiliation, news conference etc. angle, I don't know. As with the cheating, it's really impossible to say without living through it and being there in the moment. I can see still wanting to be supportive of the person I loved in what they

Well, one the one hand it's a cute idea, but on the other hand, I think it will ultimately be impractical. I suspect most of those greenbugz will somehow find their way into the trash anyway, especially since they don't seem very... "durable." Even more especially since, "Granted it is paper, but your local municipalities recycling program will not take the greenbugz." People mean well, but, knowing people, most won't do this: "For any reason you do not want the greenbugz, send it back. We will

You do know The Onion isn't a real news site, right? :NOTSURE: Nothing on it is true. It's funny, to be sure, but I'm surprised how often people take it for being true.
