You can read the opinion here. Gun owners everywhere must be stoked right now. I live in Chicago - which has a handgun ban throughout the city. How many lawsuits will the NRA be filing today? Probably, a few.

So, I came across this quote from Joss Stone:
Here’s a refreshing attitude from a musician. TorrentFreak dug up a video where Joss Stone
was asked by a reporter about her opinion on piracy. She simply replied “I think it’s great,” adding “Yeah, I love it. I think it’s brilliant and I’ll tell you why. Music should be shared. I believe that this is how music turned into like, some crazy business. The only part about music that I dislike is the business that is attached to it. Now, if music is free, then there is no business, there is just music.”
While many would dismiss such an attitude - even if it’s coming from an established musician - as naive, if not dumb, another sentence from the interview reveals that Joss is not naive at all; she has merely embraced a different business model than most musicians. “As long as you come to my show, and have a great time listening to the live show it’s totally cool, I don’t mind,” she said.
Brilliant. An artist that “gets it”. Instead of fighting my fans (like Metallica - which I will never listen to again - due to the fact that they hate their “pirating fans” [a-holes]), I will embrace the reality of technology and learn to make money in the way that musicians should make money.
Kudos to Joss. She is winning me over as a fan.
Nashville Personal Injury Lawyer Commercial
A good friend of mine from law school, Jason Nahon, launched his new law firm, via television, in Nashville, today. I got to admit. I have never seen an attorney’s commercial like this. Wow. I would love to hear your comments.
I don’t understand it. Apparently, we are stuck with Fulmer for a long time. And, the word on the street is that Fulmer is about to get a 7 year extension. When you give that guy a 7 year extension, that is like just throwing up your hands and saying… we are cool with mediocrity.
This program has done nothing but decline since 1998. Where will the Vols be after a 7 year extension? How depressing.

I came across this today… it just absolutely made me sick….

Sorry, I didn’t hyperlink, because I didn’t want to dignify this video with a text link - and higher rank.
It may not be popular among Democrats and environmentalists… but, McCain’s proposed lifting of the ban on offshore drilling is the right move.
Right now, people in this country are suffering. This country needs a long-term strategy and a short-term strategy. Clearly, our long-term strategy should involve a commitment to becoming more reliant on alternative energies, as well as conservation.
But, we should also be thinking about another strategy: how to get through the next 10 years. Because, EVEN IF today we had a way to move all of our cars to another fuel source, it would take YEARS for that plan to be implemented. So, clearly, this is not going to happen any time in the near future. So, in the alternative, what do you do?
Offshore drilling seems like a good alternative to me - particularly, at a time when increasing prices on food and necessities are driving families into poverty.

I have just been in mourning - since I found out the news, yesterday. I can’t stop watching the coverage. I just loved Tim Russert so much: his passion for politics, his passion for life, passion for the Bills. If I could describe Tim in one word, it was “passion”. He brought so much to television. He brought so much to America. This election and every other national election will never be the same without him. This country will miss him so much. He is one of the all-time greats.

I came across this post on SearchEngineLand.
Apparently, this person was not happy with the McCain website.
Meanwhile, on Obama’s website…
Just add these things to the long list of crap that today’s campaigns have to worry about that they didn’t even have to think of 10 years ago.

Tracey and I had a great weekend. We went to a wedding for Jen Markwica, a friend of Tracey’s at TPC Sawgrass, in Jacksonville. We managed to make it to the 17th (”Island Green”) for a little midnight photo shoot.
Good times!
