It’s been three years since Viacom went after YouTube for the Viacom videos being on the site. Today a judge threw out the lawsuit: Today, the court granted our motion for summary judgment in Viacom’s lawsuit with YouTube.

What is wrong with this post on the Weekly Standard? It’s shameful. An ad by the World Wildlife Fund that tries to turn 9/11 into…something that has to do with animals — and not the animals who flew those planes into the World Trade Center. The text on the ad reads, “The tsunami killed 100 […]
Just now breaking – John McCain is “suspending his campaign” and wants the debate postponed due to the economic crisis. It should be interesting to see how this plays out. McCain says he wants both campaigns suspended until this “crisis is resolved”. Of course we don’t know when that will be. Could this be a […]

A top strategist for the Texas Democrats who was disappointed by the Bill Clinton years, Mr. Dowd was impressed by the pledge of Mr. Bush, then governor of Texas, […]
