'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, but I guess it's a real phenomenon too. They followed some guy visiting his grandparents. I loved the accents and the fussing over him: "Isn't he a smart boy?" Made me miss my grandmother and all the big family occasions.
That's awesome! I wonder how my grandparents would be reacting to this election.
Heh. Hee! Also, hah!
YouTube to McCain: You Made Your DMCA Bed, Lie in It
The McCain campaign on Monday fired off a letter to YouTube complaining that the company had acted too quickly to take down McCain's videos in response to copyright infringement notices. McCain campaign general counsel Trevor Potter argued that several of the removed ads, which had used excerpts of television footage, fall under the four-factor doctrine of fair-use, and shouldn't have been removed.
But citing the DMCA, a controversial copyright law that McCain voted to approve a decade ago, Levine pointed out that YouTube risks being sued itself if it doesn't respond promptly to takedown notices.
On NPR they had a piece about young Jewish voters going to Florida for "The Great Schlep" to convince their grandparents to vote for Obama.
I saw the article yesterday on CNN.com. It's a hoot--
The Great Schlep is a real campaign and Silverman did the bit for them. Hysterical.
I had thought Silverman created The Great Schlep. Is that not so?
Nope. Lemme see if I can find the link to the group.

"GodDAMN that woman for ruining the chignon!"
Apparently, Mr. Dow was feeling kinda' down today, and decided to go cliffdiving....
Matt Taibbi taking The National Review's Byron York to school. Hey, it made me happy since I've heard quite a few of my co-workers talking about how the financial collapse was caused by poor people who couldn't pay their mortgages.
