Hah!
For once my bad bad habit of reading Salon Letters pays off!
Someone just referred to Sarah Palin as "Wolfslayer Barbie".
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I've seen Caribou Barbie a lot of places.

Wolfslayer sounds all nice and bloody. She comes with a little plane.

The WSJ has posted the judge's opinion.
Interesting. From skimming, it seems like it did come down to how much direct quoting & paraphrasing was in the Lexicon. And given the examples in there, I'd have to agree it was way, way too much. Sheesh.
But he also says
While the Lexicon, in its current state, is not a fair use of the Harry Potter works, reference works that share the Lexicon's purpose of aiding readers of literature generally should be encouraged rather than stifled.
He definitely awarded much less than Rowling & Time Warner were looking for.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yep. Otherwise, he would have been in the clear. The judge agreed that reference works like the Lexicon were generally fair use. SVA just fucked it up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm not sure. Why don't you send me one of each so that I can decide?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would want to see chocolate with whipped cream on top. Ideally, I mean. IRL, I'd take what I could get.

The banana cream layer should be on top.

Personally, this is the kind of question that calls for a practical test.
